About This Home

As of November 2025

Perched on 12 acres in the gated (but not HOA ruled) enclave of Rancho Heights, this 5,188 sq ft estate is not just a home. It is your private resort. From sunrise spilling over the rolling hills to fiery sunsets dancing across the pool, every day here feels like an escape. Inside, the main level flows from the gourmet kitchen to the great room where walls of glass frame sweeping views. The primary suite is a peaceful sanctuary. The home office inspires focus. A guest suite stands ready for visiting friends or family. The lower level transforms everyday life into a luxury experience. Host private movie nights in your theater. Select a special vintage from the wine cellar. Gather around the full-service bar for cocktails and draft beer, challenge friends to a game of pool or poker in the game room, or recharge in the mini gym. Step outside to a backyard designed for indulgence. Cook in the outdoor kitchen with bar seating, warm up by the stone fireplace, or take a plunge in the sparkling pool with a rock slide. An 8-car garage awaits your collection, workshop, or creative projects. Fully paid solar ensures efficiency. The land invites dreams of a vineyard, horses, or a private retreat. This is more than a home. It is a place where space, beauty, and possibility converge.
