Description

Now is your chance to live Behind the Gates, as we say On the Hill. Calling gardeners, artists & avant-garde visionaries. Amazing value within a private city on over an acre... Designed for the eco-conscious buyer with an eye for innovation. This home is not just a place to live—it’s a statement of values. On a sun-drenched corner lot in a guard-gated city, this architectural gem blends artistic design with everyday comfort. Inside, you’re welcomed by soaring custom wood cathedral ceilings & an abundance of natural light from skylights & large windows. The home offers 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, an enormous family room, Venetian plaster & clay walls colored with mineral pigments. Thoughtfully engineered for health & performance. It features passive heat recovery & fresh air ventilation to maintain a comfortable interior climate year-round, minimizing energy use. The insulation is crafted with timber byproducts from Germany’s Black Forest—a renewable material prized for its thermal performance & eco-friendliness. It was the first home on the West Coast to use fire-resistant hempcrete, a non-toxic, carbon-negative material offering superior insulation, indoor air quality & durability. Outside is an organic food lover or vegetarian's dream. Imagine mornings spent harvesting your own fruit & evenings cooking fresh vegetables from the raised garden beds. Practice yoga on the wrap-around covered porch or BBQ & dine al fresco on one of the outdoor patios. Walk thru the thriving edible landscape of 60 mature fruit trees. Head up the hill behind the home to swing from a tree, experience fireworks across the LA basin, witness snow on the mountains, or watch sunset color the coast & illuminate Downtown skyscrapers. The lucky new owner can use 2019-approved plans (pending permits) for a 3-car garage & living space conversion of the existing garage & replace the 2 original driveways & rear-facing garage. Room to add a horse stall, pickleball court, ADU, pool, RV parking, art &/or music studio, allowing you to customize your vision of luxury country living. Located within the coveted Palos Verdes School District. Surrounded by hiking & equestrian trails, this retreat offers peace, privacy & connection to nature—all just a short drive from coastal beaches & urban amenities. This is more than a residence. It’s a pioneering achievement in sustainable luxury—designed to nurture, inspire & endure. Offered under $2.6M April 24 appraised value.
