Tucked away at the end of a private drive, this one-of-a-kind true adobe block retreat captures the essence of Southern California living—where privacy, character, and sweeping valley views come together, all set on approximately 0.80 very special acres. From the moment you arrive, the home makes an impression. A beautifully designed front courtyard with custom concrete and inset pavers creates a warm, inviting entry, setting the tone for what lies beyond. Inside, authentic adobe construction, exposed beams, and Saltillo-style tile floors create a rich sense of texture and timeless charm rarely found in today’s market. The updated kitchen blends function and design with Caesarstone quartz countertops, a Sub-Zero built-in refrigerator, built in drawer dishwasher, and a dual-fuel range, while the main living spaces center around a cozy fireplace and effortless indoor-outdoor flow.

One of the 3 bedrooms completes a private lower-level suite with its own entrance, living space, and bath—ideal for guests, extended family, or creative use. Outdoors, the setting truly shines. A recently refreshed pool, shaded lounge areas, and a tranquil gazebo provide the perfect backdrop for relaxing or entertaining, all framed by panoramic views and mature landscaping. There is a small detached garage/shop along with additional outbuildings that provide a very flexible space. Despite its peaceful, tucked-away feel, the location is incredibly convenient—just moments from Brengle Terrace Park, walking distance to the Moonlight Amphitheatre, and close to shopping, dining, and freeway access. This is Vista. It is more than a home—it’s a lifestyle property for someone who values character, space, and privacy in a setting that feels completely their own.
