Quaint California Mission-style home adorned
for its historical prominence. Featured in many architectural
publications including Casa California and Reflections on the Pool for
its authentic designs including original Malibu Tile and antique French
tile throughout. Situated on a private gated 20 acre 2 parcel property,
this unique house was restored by nationally acclaimed architect Carl
Day. Built in 1928 and originally used as a hunting lodge, the home has
been restored and expanded but continues to hold its history of the lost
rancho California era. This historical house is built of thick stone
walls that was once carried up from the local Lobo Canyon by horse.
Every room in the house opens to its own outdoor living space and has a
magical enclosed courtyard with outdoor stone fireplace and pond. Hand
made wrought iron balcony and staircase overlooks landmark views of the
historic Ballard Mountain and vistas. The main house features 3 wood
burning fireplaces, indoor/outdoor room, arched doorways and grained fir
beams, ceilings and doors. Bathrooms are lined with original Malibu and
custom tiles. The kitchen is equipped with top of the line viking
appliances and lined with replica Malibu tile.
The pool cabana has unique door/windows that open upward allowing for
spacious California living with unobstructed views. Boast great monterey
style screening / media room, wine cellar with large cedar closet, and
gym with sauna. Pool house has second kitchen with fossiled limestone
counter tops, large dining area and stone fireplace. Private lap pool
