The former estate of a wealthy nature lover, Casa Dorinda basks in the California sunshine between the Santa Barbara foothills and the Pacific Ocean in the quaint "village" community of Montecito.

Montecito is isolated from its neighbors on the East and West by oak-covered ridges that run from the mountains down toward a sandy beach. The Casa encompasses 48 beautifully landscaped acres in this exclusive residential area just two miles from downtown Santa Barbara.

The comfortable year-round Mediterranean temperatures invite outdoor activities nearly every day of the year. Experience everything from tree-canopied trails to open fields; picturesque footpaths to serene sitting areas; attractive private patios to splendid outdoor gardens.
