A sanctuary of privacy and open space with incredible sunsets and sweeping valley views, this reimagined contemporary ranch estate commands spectacular sunset vistas from high above Zuma Beach. The cul-de-sac property of over 2.9 acres is complete with a gorgeously updated home, two guest houses, a greenhouse, and grand expanses of flat and terraced landscaping with ample room for a pool, bocce, and ocean-view decks to enhance indoor-outdoor living and entertaining. A dramatic great room sits at the heart of the residence, with high ceilings, clerestory windows, skylights, wood floors, and huge glass doors opening to the back patio, pergola, and lush canyon and ocean views. This light-filled living/dining/kitchen space features a linear fireplace, handsome illuminated wood shelves and cabinets, and a spacious island kitchen with bar seating, breakfast area, and top-quality Miele appliances. To one side of the great room is a family/office/media room, plus a powder room. On the opposite wing of the single-level house are the home's three bedrooms, including a peaceful primary suite complete with a fireplace, a large closet, corner glass doors opening to the backyard, and a large, spa-style bath. The terraced backyard features a roomy pergola-shaded flagstone patio with a fireplace, rock-walled planter beds, beautiful mature trees, ocean-view sitting areas, a greenhouse, a giant outdoor chess board, an ocean-view guest house with kitchenette and full bath, and an art studio or activity room. The home has a two-car garage, a Tesla charger, an indoor-outdoor sound system, and air conditioning. A haven of Southern California beauty, away from it all, yet convenient to shopping, dining, and beaches.
