About This Home
As of March 2025SHOWPIECE CRAFTSMAN WITH MAGNIFICENT 360 VIEWS AND AMENITES GALORE! Words and pictures cannot describe the fine detail & quality construction of this custom Craftsman Masterpiece with No HOA on the Santa Rosa Plateau. From the moment you enter the private gate, be swept away by nature, whimsy, privacy, and the jaw-dropping unobstructed views over 8000+ acres of Nature Reserve to the San Diego skyline & Southern California coast. The quality of this home is a rarity, taking years to construct, with artisan appointments inside & out. EVERY piece of hardware, fixture, cabinet, stained glass, door, tile, window, floor, stone, appliance...was meticulously curated to complement the authentic Craftsman style & exude a memorable moody ambiance. Stroll the grounds via enchanting pathways past the infinity pool, hidden spa, firepits, natural-stone benches, outdoor showers, fruit trees, dog playground, to the prolific garden with potting cottage, chicken coop & 2 guest bungalows with private decks. Inside, when you can take your eyes off the views from every window, you will notice detail after detail, including the professionally designed kitchen with its luxe appliances, including the La Cornue range & copper repousse-detailed hood. The kitchen opens to a great room with beamed ceilings, and beyond are the library with built-in white oak cabinetry, dining room with private deck, and cozy sunroom – all with epic sit-down views. The primary suite is a sanctuary with forever views and an elegant bathroom with heated stone floors and hammered copper & polished nickel soaking tub. The fun doesn’t stop, as downstairs is a massive game & media room w/walk-in bar. The room opens to an entertainers’ dream pool deck, koi pond, waterfall, ensuite pool house/gym, alfresco dining room, and an outdoor kitchen with refrigerator, icemaker, dishwasher, 2 sinks, and a show-stopping copper-clad pizza oven. All of this magical wonderland is accentuated by the priceless backdrop of the Santa Rosa Plateau, Pacific Ocean & city lights views. It cannot be duplicated.***Santa Rosa Plateau: 5-acre minimum parcels, star-filled skies & peace – just minutes to schools, restaurants, hospitals, grocery stores, 15 Fwy & the famous Temecula Wine Country.
