Property Description
Sotto Il Monte (1927), designed by renowned architect George Washington Smith, is one of Montecito's most revered historic estates. Sited on almost 12 acres, the Italian Renaissance-inspired Villa lives on over 18,000 square feet. The current owners have thoughtfully and fastidiously preserved the Villa and its ancillary structures along with the incredible mature gardens, many of them originally designed in 1927 by noted architect A.E. Hanson. The estate provides 8-bedrooms and 10-bathrooms in the main residence, a pool solarium, and features a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom guest house, 6-bedroom staff house, 2-level pool pavilion, and automobile storage, including a four-car garage in the motor court, plus a +/- 3,400 sqft climate-controlled collectors garage. The 25-meter swimming pool is surrounded by the "Great English Lawn" with championship tennis court sited just below.

No recorded sales in this range. Select All available for older records; missing records do not mean the home never sold.
ZIP averages use publicly displayable closed sales from our licensed MLS feed, matched to the same ZIP and exact property type. Months with fewer than 3 sales are omitted; the current month is incomplete. Lines connect available monthly observations across gaps and do not represent measured prices in missing months. These averages are not adjusted for size, condition, or location within the ZIP, and are not an appraisal. Feed coverage may not include every sale. All available shows the available home and ZIP history, with mortgage rates over the same dates.
Mortgage benchmark: Freddie Mac Primary Mortgage Market Survey®. © Freddie Mac. Weekly national 30-year fixed rates, not APRs or a loan quote. Actual terms vary. Methodology changed in November 2022. The chart does not establish that interest-rate changes caused a home’s price changes.
Lines connect recorded asking and sale prices. They are visual guides, not estimates of the home’s value between those dates.
