Ridge Nest, Luxury Eco View Retreat.Nestled amidst the embrace of nature's tapestry, this is one part of a family compound of 2 planned homes, pools, and elegantly considered out-buildings, stands as a masterful ode to architectural grace and eco-consciousness. This one of 2 vacant lots with breathtaking panoramic, 360 degree ocean, mountain, and city views, is nearing full entitlement to build a meticulously crafted compound. This is an unprecedented opportunity to craft a sanctuary combining architectural brilliance and natural splendor. With understated opulence and sustainable building materials, the two properties can be sold together, as one cohesive whole, or separately. Designed by architect Steven Burns, FAIA, the 13 acre combined property is one with the stunning terrain and the sweeping vistas stretching from the Santa Monica Bay, to Catalina, all the way to the San Fernando Valley. This property is conceived as a Main House at 3349 sq ft, with two private suites, a great room, a combination wrap-around reflecting pool and swimming pool, with a music pavilion across open space. The adjacent second home, at 2864 sq ft, with 2 more suites, a great room, an infinity pool, a pickle-ball lounge and court, and a spa.Indoor outdoor flow brings you into the wilderness surrounding you. The compound allows for privacy and community, as desired. There are parking courts, multiple terraces and decks, 2 garages totalling 5 covered parking spots, all sited to preserve the pristine habitat, and to maximize the epic views. Both projects are well on their way through the Coastal permitting process, with plans, reports, and studies largely completed. One is pending Hearing Officer hearing. The other is preparing a full set of plans for review. Your private driveway is in, and utilities are onsite. Set in the exclusive Topanga neighborhood of Saddle Peak, you are Malibu adjacent, in the Award Winning Santa Monica Malibu School District. Outside your door, there is hiking, biking, and the call of the wide sea. Morning light gilds Mount Baldy's summit in the distance, snow-capped in winter. Stunning views of downtown Los Angeles come alive, as you sip coffee on your secluded terrace. In the evening, as the sun slips down behind the ridges of Catalina Island, the Queen's Necklace comes alive, illuminating the coast from Santa Monica to Palos Verdes Peninsula. The scent of Chaparral enlivens your senses. The call of soaring hawks serenade you. Here you are one with the land. Here you are sheltered. Here is peace.
