Timothy Di Prizito and Joyce Rey, Coldwell Banker Global Luxury Property Specialists affiliated with the Beverly Hills office of Coldwell Banker Realty, have listed a historical Montecito property formerly owned by Artist Teri Rojas for $16,495,000. Located at 691 Picacho Ln. in Montecito, Calif., the seven-bedroom and eight-bathroom home is a legacy property recognized by the Smithsonian because it was originally part of the confederate veteran William A. Hayne’s once more than 175 acre “The Las Tejas” Estate in 1868.
“In the heart of the Golden Quadrangle of Montecito on approximately five flat usable acres with sustainable agricultural production, this estate is part of a very elite group of Montecito’s most iconic legacy properties,” said Di Prizito. “Helmut Newton famously photographed Ms. Rojas with her sister on the estate.”
Showcasing the replica architecture of the original Las Tejas estate, this Italian Villa has exquisite finishes and design throughout. The main residence encompasses an inviting living room with fireplace and floor-to-ceiling doors to the pool and expansive lawns dripping into the ocean views featuring The Channel Islands, family room with fireplace, formal dining room and chef’s kitchen with top-of-the-line appliances and center island.

With ocean and mountain views, the verdant grounds include two private wells, lush gardens, vast lawns, ancient specimen trees and an additional guest residence with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. Plus a horse barn converted for agricultural farming needs this estate is sustainable with its own fresh produce.
