About This Home

Embrace the feel of a Laguna Beach–inspired treehouse retreat in this exceptional Mount Helix hillside home, where breathtaking views, terraced grounds, and seamless indoor-outdoor living create a truly special setting. Includes pool, solar and studio residence for extended family or rental income with private entrance.
Beautifully designed multi-tiered landscaping with winding pathways and built-in seating welcomes you, while multiple patios—each with views—offer the perfect spaces to relax or entertain. Enjoy sweeping 180-degree panoramic southern views with both sunrises and sunsets gracing the horizon.
Flooded with natural light, the 2,100 sq ft main residence features an open-concept layout with the kitchen and living areas flowing effortlessly to a wrap-around deck, creating ideal indoor/outdoor living. Nearly every room captures stunning views and offers direct outdoor access. The main level showcases a mid-century modern feel with clean lines, quality wood flooring, an upgraded kitchen, primary bedroom and a remodeled primary bath. The lower level includes two bedrooms and a spacious secondary living area, all opening to patio spaces and serene views. There is also a finished artists retreat/bedroom with separate entrance that has easy access to plumbing and sewer for the potential to create another rentable area.
The backyard is an entertainer’s dream with steps down to an oversized solar-heated pool (25’ x 45’), lounging deck, and outdoor kitchen complete with sink, BBQ, and refrigerator. The terraced 1/3-acre lot provides space to garden, unwind, or simply take in the scenery. A haven for nature lovers, the property attracts hummingbirds, blue jays, and seasonal orioles.
Additional features include an income-producing studio with kitchen, bath, and 1-car garage, plus an artist’s space or optional bedroom. Owned solar, newer roof (2022), dual-pane windows, plantation shutters, water filtration system, and a unique subterranean space ideal for a wine cellar complete the home.
Ideally located on the foothills of Mount Helix with convenient access to shopping, this property offers privacy, versatility, and a truly resort-like lifestyle.
