Description

Ravenscroft, one of George Washington Smith's most fabled estates, is a masterwork of 1920s Spanish Revival architecture. Commissioned by the incomparable Peggy Ravenscroft, this enchanting 1.59-acre Montecito villa blends theatricality and elegance with timeless grandeur. From the 52-foot stage-inspired living room to lush gardens, a guest house, wine cellar, pool, tennis court, and hidden surprises, Ravenscroft is an architectural legacy reimagined for modern life. Painstakingly restored and richly layered in history, this landmark estate is ready to write its next chapter.
