About This Home
LA MACARENA. An architectural legacy, reimagined. Composed as a Mediterranean village by Mary Craig, c.1929 & restored by Xorin Balbes, the property unfolds as an 8 bed, 9.5 bath Spanish Colonial Revival estate w commanding ocean & mtn views. The 6 bed main residence, entertainment pavilion w theater, gym, sauna, cold plunge, & bar + 2 bed pool house/ADU create a private destination anchored by a pool, spa & fire pit. Romantic courtyards, terraces & French doors draw the eye to ocean views. The primary suite is an oasis w steam shower, meditation room & private terrace. Layered gardens, lawns, paths & pickleball complete a transformative outdoor rhythm. Shaped by time & intentionally evolved for modern luxury living, La Macarena stands as one of Montecito's premier heirloom estates.
