Overview

Description

LA PALOMA. The soul of a European village, designed around the people you love & the way you live. Graceful & luminous, the estate stretches across the Montecito landscape in creamy plaster walls, terracotta roofs & vine-covered courtyards. Conceived nearly a century ago by Mary Craig & restored & reimagined by Xorin Balbes in the spirit of a boutique resort, the 8-bed, 9.5-bath estate unfolds as a collection of intimate spaces w ocean, island & mtn views. When family & friends arrive, the property comes alive. Suites fill. Doors open. Breakfast stretches into lunch. A swim leads to pickleball, workouts in the gym, sauna, cold plunge or relax in the gardens. Cocktails by the pool give way to dinner & a movie after dark. A world of its own, La Paloma is an extraordinary place to call home.
