Property Description

Designed by R.H. Donnelley Erdman as his own private residence and never before publicly offered, this south-facing Birnam Wood estate represents something genuinely rare: the architect's own vision, built for himself, on 1.3 acres of fairway and mountain-view land inside one of Montecito's most coveted guard-gated communities. Offered at one of the lowest price points currently available inside Birnam Wood Golf Club -- this is a compelling entry into a community where properties routinely trade above 8 million. From the moment you enter, the home announces its significance. Soaring ceilings draw the eye upward while solid-core oversized doors with superior hardware ground the space in quiet confidence. Nuanced details about as you walk the hardwood floors which run throughout the communal areas, connecting a thoughtfully composed floor plan that flows from formal living to a chef's kitchen open to sun-drenched breakfast areas -- all on a single level. The 1.3-acre parcel is positioned to capture both Santa Ynez mountain views and fairway outlooks, with the added privacy of placement near the community's secondary gate -- a practical luxury that allows easy access without traversing the full club grounds. The lot itself is generous, usable, and largely flat, a distinction that is far from guaranteed inside Birnam Wood's varied terrain. The Birnam Wood Golf Club lifestyle surrounds the home: Robert Trent Jones Sr.'s celebrated 18-hole course, six tennis courts, pickleball, fitness center, clubhouse dining with delivery, guest cottages for visiting family, and 24-hour guard-gated security. Membership is required and conveys with purchase. First offered publicly since its 2001 completion. Rarely does a property at this address carry this price and this story simultaneously.
