Set behind gates on 5 acres in La Cresta, this Tuscan-inspired estate offers more than 5,200 square feet of living space, generous indoor-outdoor entertaining areas and room for horses, chickens and future improvements. A tree-lined driveway leads to a circular motor court and handsome stone-accented entry. Inside, a sweeping staircase introduces the formal living and dining rooms, with French doors opening to a front patio and peaceful views. Just beyond is a dedicated wine room with a 100+ bottle refrigerator and dry bar. The spacious chef’s kitchen features premium appliances, custom cabinetry and a large center island and opens directly to the family room with wood-beamed ceilings and a substantial stone fireplace. A downstairs en-suite bedroom has its own exterior entrance, making it well suited for guests, extended family or a private retreat. A large laundry room adds a deep sink and abundant cabinetry. Upstairs are two additional bedrooms with a shared bath, along with a distinctive tower library/office offering elevated views. The primary suite is a true retreat with French doors to a private outdoor sitting area, separate closets and a recently remodeled bath with dual vanities, soaking tub and oversized walk-in shower. The outdoor spaces are a major part of this property. Mature landscaping surrounds the home, pool and spa, while a substantial covered pavilion with outdoor kitchen creates a true second living and dining area for year-round entertaining. Beyond the main yard, the property opens to usable acreage with equestrian potential, a large chicken coop and enclosed run, and room for a future guest house and barn. Life on the Santa Rosa Plateau is hard to duplicate: wide-open space, privacy, star-filled skies, miles of hiking and riding trails and a genuine sense of community, all surrounded by some of Southern California’s most beautiful natural landscape. La Cresta and the surrounding Plateau communities are known for their 5+ acre properties and the freedom to create the lifestyle that fits you—horses, vineyards, gardens, outdoor entertaining, room for family, or simply more space and quiet. Bordered by the 9,000-acre Santa Rosa Plateau Ecological Reserve and Cleveland National Forest, the Plateau feels a world away while remaining just minutes from shopping, dining, schools, medical services and freeway access.
