A Rare Offering

Salt air, citrus groves, and a pace that leans toward presence over urgency.

3880 Foothill Road

Designed by esteemed local architect Don Bensen, the main residence exudes mid-century modern style.

Cedar siding, clean lines, and floor to ceiling windows draw nature in.

Timeless Midcentury Style

Rejuvenating Retreats

Each bedroom in this midcentury modern home offers its own inviting personality, from the garden-view primary suite with vaulted ceilings to the serene guest room layered in natural textures. A playful third bedroom features ocean-inspired wallpaper and a cozy workspace.

Lovingly restored to its original aesthetic, it now opens to a layered landscape of beauty and ease: over 50 fruit trees, ancient Coastal Live Oaks, a picturesque chicken coop, stunning mountain views and ocean peeks in a natural wonderland.

Grounded in Nature

Interior spaces flow with quiet sophistication, while outdoor moments unfold on a tea deck, in the hot tub, or in the spacious backyard.

3882 Foothill Road

Completed in 2022, the second home (ADU) is modern, light-filled, and entirely self-contained.

With vaulted ceilings and an open plan that connects seamlessly to a generous ocean-view deck, the home invites effortless entertaining or everyday retreat.

Surrounded by views, quiet, and intention, it offers the freedom to live expansively while remaining independent from the main residence.

Together, they create a rare kind of compound: grounded in nature, thoughtfully composed, and shining quietly along the coast.
