Perfect for a new homeowner or developer seeking to build upward and maximize the property's stunning panoramic vistas. Perched atop prestigious Marquez Knolls on a quiet cul-de-sac in a highly regarded neighborhood, this fully renovated (August 2023) mountaintop retreat sits on a generous 11,687 SF lot and offers rare privacy, security, and ocean and mountain sunset views. The pool and spa have been recently upgraded with a pebble-finish replaster, refreshed tile, LED color lighting, an enhanced filtration system, redesigned skimmer box, and updated drains, further elevating the home's resort-style appeal. This home, along with others on the cul-de-sac, was not structurally damaged by the January 2025 wildfires. Elevated above the coastline, the home captures fresh ocean air, dramatic Pacific sunsets, and serene mountain surroundings. Designed for seamless indoor-outdoor California living, it features 10+ foot beamed ceilings and warm white oak floors flowing through light-filled interiors that open to expansive tropical front and rear yards.

The property offers exceptional privacy and security, complete with a Ring alarm monitoring system and cameras. The grounds are enhanced by updated wood-paneled fencing with iron posts and integrated LED lighting, complemented by thoughtfully redesigned landscaping featuring bamboo, fruit trees, lush greenery, and Mexican beach pebbles throughout.
