Introducing 'Protected Oaks,' available for the first time. Located in La Mirada Estates which is nestled within the foothills between Carpinteria, Toro Canyon and Montecito, this custom built, timber framed villa offers sweeping ocean views and is surrounded by oak trees and native landscaping. Thoughtfully designed to maximize natural light and views, the home features Douglas Fir log walls, exposed posts and beams, large windows, and high ceilings, creating a unique blend of rustic and modern aesthetics. This masterfully designed 2 story home boasts a layout with distinct wings. One wing on the main level houses the primary bedroom and luxurious bath, while the opposite wing includes the modern kitchen and dining area. These spaces are separated by an entrance overlooking the grand great room. The lower level offers two additional bedroom suites, each with its own en suite bath, flanking a spacious family room with a full bar, perfect for entertaining. Elevated craftsmanship details include extra deep stairway steps, and each floor with it's own separate laundry room and ample storage. The five car garage provides ample space for car enthusiasts, complete with a workroom and half bath. Additionally, the two story detached gazebo offers versatile spaces that can serve as a creative studio, study, wine cellar, or, as currently configured, a jacuzzi spa room with stunning ocean and foothill views. Property is currently covered by a standard fire and hazard insurance carrier and offers potential for enhancements such as installing an elevator, adding an A/C system, and space for a pool.
