A Little Bit Country, Entirely California
At a gentle bend in the road, 568 Toro Canyon Road feels transported to the country side, despite being just minutes from the best of Montecito’s Upper + Lower Villages, the design district of Summerland, waves at Padaro Beach and the Santa Barbara Polo Club. Across 10.06± acres, mature oaks and specimen trees frame layered gardens and open fields, with the Santa Ynez Mountains rising beyond and unexpected glimpses of the Pacific appearing through the landscape. It is a setting that feels wonderfully removed from everything, without actually being far from anything.
At its heart is a century-old farmhouse, thoughtfully reimagined with an eye toward how we live today. Its original character remains, but the mood is decidedly more relaxed: wide-plank oak floors, restrained finishes, generous gathering spaces and French doors connecting elevated interiors to the gardens. A painted stone fireplace anchors the living room, while the garden-facing kitchen takes a darker, more contemporary turn with slate-gray cabinetry, black granite and a matte black chevron backsplash. A wraparound screened-in porch overlooks the lavender field and begs for lazy morning lattes and the back sunroom is a vibe for late night hangs.
Private spaces share the same understated yet hip sensibility. The primary suite opens through French doors to a covered veranda overlooking the foothills, while two en suite guest rooms are oriented toward the gardens, pastures and mature oaks. Outside, broad lawns and native grasses lead to the pool and spa, where mature hedges create privacy and generous terraces invite long afternoons outdoors. Elsewhere, two fenced daytime turnouts accommodate horses while preserving the open character of the land.
A Creative Spirit
Beyond the farmhouse, a century-old barn gives the estate an entirely different dimension. Reimagined as guest accommodations and a light-filled creative studio, its open main level lends itself equally well to art, music, movement or work. Upstairs, exposed trusses follow the original gambrel roofline as windows draw in soft light through the surrounding oaks. It is an inspiring space with the flexibility to evolve with its next owner.
What makes 568 Toro Canyon Road particularly rare is the balance it strikes. More than ten acres, century-old buildings, mature trees and open land create the feeling of a true country property, without sacrificing connection to the coast and the communities around it.
Worlds Away, Close to Everything
More than a century after the farmhouse and barn first took their place here, the estate has evolved without losing the qualities that made the setting special in the first place. Historic but not precious, pastoral but polished, it is a distinctly California retreat—private, creative and effortlessly at ease in its surroundings.
