Mediterranean Ridge-Top Retreat with Breathtaking Views and Unmatched Privacy | Perched atop a scenic ridgeline, this stunning Mediterranean estate offers sweeping ocean, mountain, and valley views from nearly every room. Located in the gated, Certified Fire-Wise enclave of Las Ventanas and surrounded by over 4,000 acres of protected open space, the home combines the serenity of nature with the convenience of being just six miles from town. Spanning 4,085 square feet, this energy-efficient residence features 5 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, and a detached 302 sq. ft. guest casita, perfect for hosting or quiet retreat. Sustainability meets luxury with two owned solar arrays covering 95% of the home’s energy needs—including heating for the Pebble Tec pool, complete with a diving board, hydraulic safety cover, and solar heat. Step inside to soaring 25-foot ceilings, exposed wood beams, and a dramatic two-story wall of windows that flood the great room with natural light and frame picture-perfect views. Radiant-heated limestone floors and custom wrought-iron accents enhance the architectural richness throughout. The main-level primary suite is a sanctuary all its own, featuring a cozy fireplace, private patio, and immediate access to a Bullfrog spa for stargazing soaks. A connected sitting room provides flexibility as a private office or lounge space. At the heart of the home is the chef’s kitchen, outfitted with cherry cabinetry, striking Mascarello granite, a dedicated prep island, top-tier appliances, and a walk-in pantry. It flows effortlessly into a spacious dining area, where dual sliding glass walls open to more than 1,200 square feet of covered outdoor living space, blending indoor comfort with alfresco elegance. Upstairs, guests or family enjoy three generous bedrooms, two full baths, and a homework or reading nook with inspiring views. Outdoor amenities rival any resort: a wood-burning fireplace under the loggia, a bocce ball court, outdoor kitchen with grill, wine fridge, bar seating, and even a pass-through window from the indoor kitchen to keep gatherings flowing. The casita offers quiet luxury with 16-foot ceilings, a full bath, private patio, and fountain—ideal for guests, an art studio, or meditation space. Whether you're sipping morning coffee watching the sunrise or hosting a sunset soirée, this home offers a rare blend of seclusion, sophistication, and sustainable living.
