ABOUT ARNAUD BARBIEUX, OWNER

AB Estate Management’s owner, Arnaud Barbieux, launched his estate management career in 1996, when he was tapped to oversee the Montecito residence of corporate executive Ed Snider. Eight years later, Arnaud acquired the assets of a larger property management company, and AB Estate Management was born.

Today, Arnaud manages several high-end estates throughout Montecito, Santa Barbara and along Carpinteria’s beachfront Padaro Lane. As a licensed general contractor, certified arborist and trained horticulturalist, he is highly qualified to oversee a wide variety of landscaping, maintenance and construction projects. With fluency in both French and Spanish, he can hire, communicate with and supervise the best vendors in town.

Arnaud previously operated a landscape contracting and tree surgeon business, and prior to that, was on staff with the City of Santa Barbara Parks and Recreation Department. As a young adult, he also traveled around Europe, where he gained valuable experience at various small organic farms and family craftsman enterprises, and taught English in Taiwan.

Currently living in Carpinteria, Arnaud is able to respond quickly to any emergency situation on his clients’ properties. A San Francisco native, he was raised in California, France and the French West Indies, and has made his home in Santa Barbara since 1994.
