Totally renovated and thoughtfully reimagined, this stunning single-story retreat blends modern design with soulful, farm-to-table living. Surrounded by rolling hills and framed by walls of windows, the home captures breathtaking views while filling every space with warm natural light. Sea Ranch–inspired wood siding and a sleek metal roof create timeless character, while the open-concept kitchen and family room form the true heart of the home inside. Expansive sliders create seamless indoor-outdoor living—perfect for gathering with friends, hosting dinners sourced from your own garden, or enjoying peaceful mornings overlooking the hills. Designed with sustainability in mind, the home features energy-efficient heat pump systems for heating, cooling and hot water, and Tesla Powerwalls that provide energy storage and backup power. Oversized bedrooms and spa-inspired bathrooms feature elevated finishes and calming designs. Outside, soak in the hot tub under the stars, harvest from raised garden beds, and enjoy a charming homestead setting with dwarf goats and chickens. A thriving, established orchard enhances the property with 50 miniature fruit trees, along with grapes, passion vines, and blueberry bushes—all supported by drip irrigation. This is more than a home—it’s a lifestyle.
