200 Olive Mill Rd

''El Molino'' meaning ''The Mill'' is known as one of the oldest historic homes in Montecito featuring gorgeous quarried stone work situated on one acre in the sought after golden quadrangle. Originally founded as an olive crushing mill to produce olive oil, olive oil soap, and olive oil candy (known for its medicinal use) the mill was closed in 1905 and became a residential estate. The Mill became an icon in the community and a symbol of commerce so much so that Olive Mill Road was built and named after the estate.
