About This Home

As of March 2026

Experience Elevated Living in La Cresta Highlands!
Nestled along the scenic horse trails of Santa Rosa Highlands, this extraordinary estate offers a rare blend of timeless elegance and limitless potential. Set on park-like acreage adorned with majestic oaks and natural boulders, the property boasts soaring 360-degree views of the Santa Ana Mountains, tranquil meadows, and the serene beauty of one of Murrieta’s most coveted equestrian communities. Spanning approximately 5,200 sq. ft., the residence showcases ornate, impeccable finishes throughout. Step inside to discover a home that feels brand new, where craftsmanship meets sophistication: venetian plaster walls, custom-painted ceiling medallions, and iron scrollwork accent a 23-ft great room with old-world charm. Polished travertine, rustic chiseled stone, and hardwood floors complement wood-beamed ceilings and custom doors. A gourmet kitchen with exotic granite, premium appliances, and a custom hutch is wired for expansion with space for a third oven and warming drawer. The owner’s suite on the main level offers a spa-inspired bath with heated floors, dual water closets, bidet, jetted tub, and an artist-designed shower framed by curved leaded glass windows. Beyond the home, the possibilities are endless. The expansive backyard is a blank canvas for your vision —design a resort-style pool and cabana, plant a fruit grove, or create equestrian facilities for horses to roam. A graded upper lot is ready for a guest house, ADU, workshop, or additional garages. If you can dream it, this property can accommodate it. Additional highlights include a hearth room with wood-burning fireplace, a sprawling stamped-concrete patio, and a 3.5-car garage with pass-through for ATVs or golf carts. Privacy and natural beauty define this estate, offering a lifestyle of luxury, recreation, and tranquility. If this property doesn’t have it yet, there’s room to build it. Discover the unmatched charm and potential of the highlands—your private sanctuary awaits.
