这个深受各国文化影响的家园是由著名的比佛利山莊建筑师约翰斯埃尔金伍尔夫（John Elgin Woolf）在1959年为亨廷顿家族成员设计的，拥有宽大的公用房间、12英尺高的天花板、令人难以置信的海洋/岛屿景观和无与伦比的蒙特西托(Montecito)位置。这个小丘顶上的地产位于公认的精英中心，拥有180度的美景。为了融入可信的历史相对论，建筑师，设计师和建筑公司极度谨慎地以最高质量的建筑、精确的细节和精致的材料，让整个居所昨日重现。
这个富丽堂皇的地产有6间卧室，包括一个优雅的客厅、正式的餐厅、最好的媒体室/家庭室，和一个特别的主卧套间，内有书房、带有壁炉的起居室和精心制作的壁橱以及他和她的浴室。一个新穎獨特的美食厨师級廚房，佔地约500呎，包括瓷器陈列间、食品储藏室、一个大型的中央岛式工作台、大片台面的、非正式的用餐区和毗邻的2000瓶葡萄酒藏量的酒窖，附带酒盒储存。
主屋坐落在大约2.5英亩土地后方的海角上，每一个房间都看得到海景全景。宏伟纵长的中央拱廊通往一个花木繁茂的内部庭院，一个38英尺×16英尺的太阳能温水游泳池和设有一间卧室的池边小屋，包括一间宽敞的大房，配有拱形天花板和壁炉室、按摩室和小厨房。此外，还有一个迷人的双房、双浴的公寓，带有小厨房和两个宽大的景观阳台，坐落在附有存储空间的4车车库上方，这些阳台是设计作为大型活动的饮食服务提供地点。
如此难得一见的、精细巧妙的、实用的房子，提供了相当的隐私，同时又能举办最隆重的盛宴。的确是豪华壮观，又无与伦比的。

The main house sits on a promontory at the rear of its approx. 2.5 acres with panoramic views from every room. The long, grand central Galleria opens onto an inner courtyard featuring lushly planted gardens, a 38’ x 16’ solar heated pool and a one bedroom Pool House including a great room with vaulted ceiling and fireplace, a massage room and a kitchenette.
