About This Home
Spanish Revival Coastal Estate on 0.64 Acres with Ocean Views A rare offering in the heart of Old Encinitas/Leucadia, this Spanish Revival estate sits west of I-5 on an ultra-private, gated 0.64-acre ocean-view lot. Surrounded by lush, tropical landscaping and panoramic coastal views, the property combines architectural charm with modern functionality across three distinct structures—all rebuilt from the ground up between 2014 and 2019 with exceptional attention to detail. At the top of the property, the main residence includes a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom home with solid red oak flooring, a chef’s kitchen outfitted with top of the line Sub-Zero, Viking, and Miele appliances, and Taj Mahal quartzite countertops. A vine-covered breezeway leads to a 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom guest suite with an office and a private rooftop deck. The adjacent garage features an African Mahogany door, workshop space, laundry, and built-in storage. Positioned at the lower end of the lot, the detached guest house (fully permitted ADU) offers 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a full kitchen, laundry, its own 2-car garage, and a separate billiards/game room—ideal for extended family, guests, or rental income. Built with Eco Red borate-treated framing, recycled denim insulation, copper plumbing, new electrical, concrete foundations, and high-end finishes, the estate also includes 52 owned solar panels and three EV charging stations. The grounds are private and serene, with mature palms, citrus, avocado, olive, and pomegranate trees surrounding a resort-style backyard. At the center is a 25-yard vanishing-edge lap pool with an automatic cover and an Ipe hardwood deck on a stainless-steel frame, flanked by a spa and two outdoor heated showers. Two gated entrances—one from Sunset Drive, the other from North Vulcan Avenue—each lead to their own garage, creating versatility and potential lot-split opportunities. A high-resolution security system, electric gates, and ample parking provide comfort, flexibility, and peace of mind. This is more than a home—it’s a rare legacy property. A true once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own an expansive, private, ocean-view Spanish Revival-inspired estate with two access points and walkability to world-famous beaches, shops, and restaurants in the heart of Old Encinitas and Leucadia.
