Property is move-in ready.
This 1930s historic estate is exceptionally well-maintained and move-in ready. The kitchen has been updated with high-end stainless steel appliances, professional-grade ranges, and stone countertops. While the property retains its original architectural character, the interior finishes, including the flooring and bathrooms, show minimal wear and tear. It does not qualify as 'excellent' because it lacks a full contemporary renovation within the last five years, but it remains in superior condition for its age.
Designed by esteemed architect Gordon B. Kaufmann, the estate carries significant historical prestige and timeless Tuscan-inspired elegance rarely found in the modern market.
Set on nearly 16 ocean-view acres, the property offers an unparalleled scale of privacy and utility, including equestrian facilities, tennis courts, and productive citrus and avocado groves.
The inclusion of three independent two-story guest residences provides superior flexibility for multi-generational living, high-capacity hosting, or dedicated staff quarters.
The maintenance of a 16-acre agricultural estate with multiple historical structures and specialized facilities requires a substantial and ongoing financial commitment for upkeep and staffing.
