Property Description
Hidden beneath magnificent oaks in the storied enclave of Riven Rock, this extraordinary stone residence was built in 1925 as the carriage house for the historic McCormick Estate. Originally home to the estate's horses, carriages, and hay, today it stands as a nearly 8,000-square-foot residence of remarkable scale, character, and provenance--defined by hand-cut stone, a distinctive green Belgian tile roof, soaring ceilings, and exceptional Old World craftsmanship.
Set on approximately 1.11 acres, La Scuderia has the presence and romance of a European country estate. The entry level includes a family room centered around a brick fireplace, an office, and a private one-bedroom guest apartment. Upstairs, walls of windows fill the grand living room with natural light, while pine-paneled walls, dramatic ceiling heights, and an antique Spanish fireplace provide access to a private one-bedroom guest apartment. Upstairs, soaring ceilings and walls of windows bring natural light into the grand living room, where pine-paneled walls and an antique Spanish fireplace speak to the home's extraordinary heritage. A kitchen, six bedrooms, and four bathrooms complete this level, plus a detached one-bedroom guest apartment that offers flexibility for family, guests, or staff.
Outside, the property unfolds beneath a canopy of mature specimen and fruit trees, with stone pathways, a swimming pool and ponds fed by a natural spring. Two additional stone structures offer intriguing possibilities for an office, fitness or creative studio, wine cellar or other personalized uses.
Perhaps most distinctive are the property's unusual water resources. In addition to service from Riven Rock's private water district, which serves just 34 residences, the property benefits from shared water rights through the historic Cinquefoil Water Company--an increasingly rare attribute and a remarkable part of the property's legacy.
Private, substantial, and utterly individual, La Scuderia offers something increasingly rare in Montecito: a century-old estate with extraordinary provenance, enduring architecture, significant water resources, and the freedom to shape its next chapter. Moments from Cold Spring School, the Upper Village, and Montecito's celebrated hiking trails, this is not simply another Montecito residence. It has no obvious counterpart.
