This home designed by esteemed architect Bob Easton, AIA offers five bedrooms and five baths. It also features expansive outdoor living spaces. The location offers 360-degree panoramic views of the ocean and vistas of parklands. This award winning estate consists of more than 37 acres. What makes this property rare is that due to current building codes and coastal restrictions, it’s unlikely that this estate and style of wine can ever be replicated.

The property encompasses an Egyptian limestone deck of approximately 5,000 square feet surrounding the exquisite infinity pool, spa, and outside loggia – as well as a wine tasting room with adjacent barrel storage. The estate also includes acres of terraced vineyards and lush rolling hillsides filled with orchards of approximately 75 citrus trees and 50 fruit and nut trees. There are two additional pads for future guest and guard houses.
