...estate’s original water tower, stone from the Farmhouse’s original foundation, and reclaimed wood.   Surrounded by lush gardens, the Cottage looks like the set of a Ralph Lauren photo shoot.  The interiors are spectacularly appointed with antiques and furnishings that create the elegant yet casual atmosphere that is the hallmark of Santa Barbara’s finest resorts.  Soaring high above, the drama of the lofty plank and truss ceiling presides over the serene exchange of light and energy infusing the Great Room’s sleeping and living areas.  A handsome stone fireplace anchors the space, casting a warm glow that dances across the hardwood floors and is reflected by the crystals of the antique chandelier.  Expansive windows let in the beautiful Santa Barbara light and borrow views of the inspirational gardens beyond.   In addition to the perfect juxtaposition of rustic elements with the more refined, this comfortable cottage is also packed with modern amenities that blend seamlessly with the period architecture.  The charming country kitchen is equipped with a farm-style sink and a full size Sub-Zero with two freezer drawers and is the perfect place to prepare your morning latte. The luxurious bath has an oversize shower with rain head, pedestal sink, and a gorgeous antique lantern. Cable TV, wireless Internet, and a great sound system round out the amenities.

When you are ready to be seduced by billowy clouds of hydrangeas and a profusion of camellia blossoms, follow the path to your own secret garden retreat.  Gentle sea breezes stir the fragrance of the 150-bush rose garden as you relax in the glow of the Santa Barbara sun, curl up with a good book, and enjoy a glass of wine or a cup of tea.   

A celebration of all that has drawn millionaires, magnates and movie stars to the  seaside village of Montecito for over a hundred years, the Dower Cottage has been carefully orchestrated to provide the perfect retreat for romance, relaxation, and reflection.  Its enchanting ambiance will wrap you in the irresistible desire to return again and again.
