August’s newest $10 million+ listings may be the Coldwell Banker Global Luxury program’s most iconic collection of homes in recent memory. There’s a pedigreed 1917 estate in Montecito topping off at an asking price of $74 million, a record-breaking $20 million compound near St. Louis, a historic Gilded Age New Jersey mansion and an award-winning estate in Irvine nearly reaching the $50 million mark.  Needless to say, there is no shortage of dream real estate in this group.

670 Hot Springs Road
Montecito, CA.
$ 74,000,000

The listing agents have called the Far Afield estate “a rare and extraordinary piece of art and antiquity.” One of two significant historic estates remaining in the prime Montecito Golden Quadrangle, Far Afield resides on approximately 10.5 acres. The monumental estate was built in 1917 and designed by Francis T. Underhill, the architect behind the historic Montecito Biltmore Hotel. A 15-year restoration project completed in 2015 brought the residence back to its original glory while also modernizing it for contemporary lifestyles. Hand-crafted custom details throughout using 17th and 18th century reclaimed building materials speak to the time and tremendous cost investment involved in a project of this stature. French Oak parquet floor patterns were custom hand-cut and imported from historic chateaus. A curated collection of Dutch, Italian and Spanish antique tiles are attentively integrated throughout the estates interior and exterior. The elegance of the seven-bedroom and 14-bath villa’s architecture and finishes is enhanced by unparalleled and completely updated infrastructure, including a structural and mechanical engineering overhaul rivaling the modern hotel resorts of today. Far Afield is a legacy estate for the ages impossible to replicate today.
