Description

Set behind gates on two acres in the heart of Montecito, Ravenscroft is a landmark George Washington Smith estate where Old World romance meets refined California living. Celebrated for its architectural pedigree and theatrical sense of scale, the property is surrounded by manicured gardens, rose-lined paths, and mature palms that lend a feeling of privacy and permanence. With nearly a century of history and a presence that feels both cinematic and deeply personal, Ravenscroft offers a rare balance of legacy, seclusion, and resort-caliber amenities just moments from the coast. The estate features 8 bedrooms, 10 bathrooms, and comfortably sleeps 14 guests.

What You’ll Love About Ravenscroft
• Iconic George Washington Smith architecture dating to 1922
• Two-acre gated estate with pool, spa, tennis, bocce, and pickleball courts
• Multiple guest accommodations including private cottages and guest quarters
• Home theatre, billiards room, and a discreet wine cellar with tasting lounge
• Prime Montecito setting near Lotusland, Coast Village Road, and Butterfly Beach

Living & Entertaining
The heart of the estate is the storied 52-foot living room, conceived with theatrical intention and enduring elegance. Originally designed to accommodate stage productions, its soaring proportions and grand fireplace remain intact, softened today by considered furnishings and warm, grounded tones. Mahogany finishes, sculptural forms, and romantic archways create a room that feels both composed and inviting, equally suited to intimate conversation or quiet reflection.
Beyond the garden-lined foyer, the loggia unfolds as a luminous indoor-outdoor space where marble floors catch shifting light throughout the day. Draped in cascading vines, the setting reveals itself in layers: a secluded nook for conversation, a fireside lounge with television, and a dining area that invites unhurried evenings beneath the stars.

Chef-Ready Kitchen & Dining
Designed with both function and restraint, the kitchen features top-tier appliances, a bespoke La Cornue range, and a butler’s pantry that supports effortless entertaining. French doors open to a private courtyard centered around a mosaic fountain and fire pit, ideal for al fresco meals and fireside conversation. A breakfast nook with its own fireplace adds warmth and ease, while the formal dining room, anchored by a Carrara marble table, flows naturally toward the billiards room. Hidden behind a bookshelf, the wine cellar and tasting room offer a quietly dramatic space for lingering nights and thoughtful pours.

• Eighth Suite: Queen bed, located in the Japanese Tea House, ensuite bathroom
Each suite reflects the estate’s layered character, with natural textures, restrained palettes, and thoughtful details that feel cohesive yet individual.

Outdoor Grounds
The grounds encourage a natural rhythm to the day, from quiet mornings by the pool and spa to afternoon matches on the tennis, bocce, or pickleball courts. Evenings unfold with ease, whether gathering beneath the ivy-draped loggia, settling into courtyard conversations by the fire, or hosting a private film screening in the theatre, where velvet seating recalls the glamour of another era.

Nearby
Adjacent to Lotusland, Ravenscroft enjoys one of Montecito’s most sought-after locations. Butterfly and Hammonds beaches, the Rosewood Miramar Hotel, Coast Village Road boutiques and dining, San Ysidro Ranch, and the Hot Springs Canyon Trailhead are all within easy reach. Santa Barbara Airport SBA is approximately 25 minutes away.

Good to Know
A $25,000 refundable security deposit is required and will be returned within seven days of checkout, provided the estate is left in its original condition.
Weddings and events are not permitted.
TOT: 1141

Quietly grand and deeply storied, Ravenscroft offers a Montecito experience defined by beauty, intention, and a true sense of place. Reserve your stay and settle into a legacy that feels both preserved and effortlessly lived in.
