Val Verde (Montecito, California)

Val Verde, in Montecito, California, also known as the Wright Ludington House, is an estate which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.

[1] It is located at 2549 Sycamore Canyon Road in Montecito, which is adjacent to Santa Barbara.

It was designed by architect Bertram G. Goodhue for fellow New Yorker Henry Dater Jr.[2] The property was bought by Charles Ludington in 1925, after which Ludington, with architect Lockwood de Forest added landscaping, cottages, garages, an undulating wall, and a Spanish fountain around 1926.

It was deemed significant as a "product of the opulent age in Montecito, California, from 1900-1920 when the rural town became noted for its substantial winter homes based on European residential models, commissioned by wealthy easterners and midwesterners from well-known national and regional architects.
