This one-of-a-kind, nearly 3-1/4 acre modern equestrian compound, evocative of Big Sur's renowned Post Ranch Inn, offers singular architecture, exceptional privacy and security, a privileged direct bond to nature, and dazzling skyline, ocean and Getty Museum views. Recently overhauled by master architects Shubin + Donaldson, the three-bedroom home with separate one-bedroom casita features soaring ceiling heights with floor-to-ceiling sliding walls of glass, which welcome in an incomparable abundance of natural light and a potent indoor-outdoor connection. Plentiful mature plantings, board-formed poured concrete, wood paneled ceilings, natural stone flooring and counters, 12-foot-high walnut doors and teak cabinetry produce a warm organic calm and an underlying sexiness. Numerous elegant flourishes abound from the double height walk-in refrigerator to the hidden pantry and appliances and more. Sited on its own promontory, the unrivaled grounds accommodate numerous outdoor destinations including outdoor fireplaces, al fresco dining, multiple lounging/entertaining areas, an in-ground pool and separate hot tub, as well as a rooftop fireplace, outdoor kitchen and Baja dipping pool. Secreted away down a private lane and accessed through a gated stone approach with a massive motor courtyard, this multifaceted estate is reserved for the kind of person who appreciates understated elegance and demands a solid separation from the chaos of the daily goings-on. Includes architectural plans by Shubin + Donaldson (which have been submitted to the City in order to avoid the application of the Wildlife Ordinance) to further expand the living space. An adjacent separate equestrian pad, which includes stables for multiple horses from which one can experience boundless riding trails throughout the Santa Monica mountains, is also available for $3,600,000.
