Enter the private gates of this grand and wholly reimagined 6.2-acre ocean view coastal estate that is Montecito's beloved and historic ''Ca di Sopra'' (House Above the Clouds) first built in 1914 by famous architect Guy Lowell and completely redesigned in recent days. The owner spared no expense to fundamentally transform and elevate this 7-bedroom, 8-bathroom Italian Villa's classical architecture to today's most rigorous standards and top design. From the meticulous landscaping surrounding the prominent half-moon pool beset by Greek Ionic columns, to the temperature-controlled wine cellar/tasting room, multiple entertainment balconies overlooking the Pacific Ocean, home theater, two gracious family rooms, gourmet kitchen, formal dining room, large gym, and a truly impressive primary suite featuring an enviable indoor/outdoor bathroom, walk-in closet, and sweeping sitting areas opening to the stone terraces, there is no shortage of awe-inspiring venues throughout the property. Lending to the versatility and functionality of this compound is a modern two-bedroom guest house above the three-car garage and a carriage house with bathroom that could be a perfect artist retreat. This rare opportunity is reserved for the most selective buyers.
