Here’s a mansion that screams luxury, style, and elegance, all finished with a warm contemporary touch. Designed by the phenomenal Maienza-Wilson Interior Design + Architecture, stepping into the home is a surreal experience.
Nestled in the beautiful Montecito, one of Santa Barbara County’s more affluent neighborhoods, this California home was one of the first properties in the area to receive a Platinum level LEED certification.
The Butterfly Beach residence, as it’s been christened, has been designed to be extremely sustainable by cocooning into it’s environment. The estate is equipped with radiant floor heating, and photovoltaic solar panels tucked under the butterfly roof, providing the home electricity.
Up on the flat roofs, carpets of green grass aid in passive cooling to prevent the house from experiencing any severe drought conditions. Icynene spray foam insulates the entirety of the home, while rainwater is harvested in a 5,000 gallon cistern located below the estate.
Outdoors, the magnificent garden is watered by the collected rainwater, and provides the space with an added sense of serenity, and calm.
Within the drawing room, sleek wooden furniture with cozy white cushions create a warm, easy environment. The bedroom exudes a similar appeal, beautifully lit, spacious, and furnished with a degree of casual elegance.
Ready for your next social event, the home has plenty of outdoor seating as well as an upstairs balcony to seat all of you friends and family. It is the perfect place to celebrate with those you love, and this $9 million mansion is certainly something to celebrate.
