Tucked within Montecito’s exclusive Birnam Wood Golf Club, this distinguished estate was once the residence of legendary interior designer John Saladino. A master of uniting interior and exterior spaces, Saladino’s touch is evident throughout — from French doors framing lush garden vistas to classical columns accenting the poolside retreat. Designed in the 1960s with timeless architectural detail, the home remains a sanctuary of elegance, seamlessly blending artistry, comfort, and the natural beauty of its surroundings.
