About This Home

Experience an unparalleled convergence of serenity, privacy, and dramatic design in this one-of-a-kind bluff front coastal sanctuary. Originally designed by notable architect Wallace Neff and landscape designer Thomas Church, the architecturally significant compound boasts spectacular sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean and Channel Islands, sophisticated amenities, and beautifully landscaped grounds — all on 1.5+ gated acres within the highly desirable Hope Ranch enclave. Emphasizing harmony between interior and exterior spaces, the capacious main residence is accentuated by enormous glass walls, windows, and sliding doors flooding the home with natural light and enhancing appreciation of the immaculate ocean views and the home's serene setting. Impressive volume and vaulted beam ceilings in the main living areas create a sense of playfulness and unlimited possibility, while more intimate spaces with cozy fireplaces and custom-designed cabinetry invite moments of reflection and relaxation. At nearly every turn, residents and guests are invited to engage with the dazzling views and enjoy comfortable spaces from which to experience them, including multiple dining areas, an ocean view terrace with a fire pit, a sparkling pool, and an observation deck.

The home's generous floor plan features 6 bedrooms, 7.5 bathrooms, a chef's kitchen, a wine room, multiple elevators, a theater, and a wellness center with a spa, sauna, & steam room. The stunning, modern kitchen boasts high-end appliances, a private dining area, and a temperature-controlled wine room. An additional wine cellar provides ample space for even the most prolific wine enthusiast. The expansive primary suite commands use of the home's left wing, offering luxurious private lounges and dual ensuite bathrooms, while the left wing's lower level is host to the wellness center and the theater/media room. On the other wing of the home are 3 additional en suite bedrooms, ensuring plenty of space for family or guests. On the lower level of this wing is an additional bedroom and staff quarters, storage, and laundry facilities.

Outside, a sprawling lawn unfurls toward the seemingly endless horizon, bordered by lush hedges and a majestic oak tree. The ocean-view pool offers a refreshing way to relax or enjoy the sunshine, while a secluded terrace provides the perfect space to unwind at the end of the day. At the property's edge and tucked into the hillside is a detached 1 bed/1 bath guest house with a full kitchen, providing ample privacy and luxurious accommodations for guests.

With its stunning and unique design, world-class amenities, and unmatched ocean-front location in Hope Ranch, this incredible property is your chance to create a true legacy on a rare offering on some of California's most sought-after coastline. Community residents can enjoy private beach access, bridle & equestrian trails, dedicated security patrol, community tennis courts, and convenient proximity to the La Cumbre Country Club & Golf Course.
