Mediterranean-Style Mansion on a Grand Estate in Montecito

Solana Estate in Montecito, Santa Barbara, California is situated on an 11-acre private knoll top with sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean and Santa Ynez Mountains.

Built in 1914 by Santa Barbara native Frederick Forrest Peabody and designed by architect Francis T. Underhill, the 22,000-square-foot estate at 256 Eucalyptus Hill Drive once served as the site of an American think tank, with visiting guests such as Martin Luther King Jr. and John F. Kennedy.

The estate was purchased by former chief executive of Google Eric Schmidt in 2020.

A gated motor court and palm-tree-lined courtyard with a fortresslike walled façade lead to the classical villa.
