Privacy and Views in Hope Ranch

Absolutely stunning mountain views, spectacular sunsets and mesmerizing city lights on 2.04 private and gated acres overlooking La Cumbre Country Club golf course and Laguna Blanca lake. Originally designed by renowned architect Lutah Maria Riggs for silent film star Irene Rich and constructed in 1951, this gracious but comfortable home has been extensively remodeled and expanded by Ketzel and Goodman to the current Bermuda style.

 

Perfect for the California lifestyle with several terraces and a view veranda allowing outdoor entertaining all year round.  The well designed and very functional floor plan offers four bedrooms, four and a half baths.  Upstairs is the entry loggia with seating area, living room, formal dining room, both opening to the view veranda, gourmet cook’s kitchen, three bedrooms and three and a half baths, and laundry room. Downstairs is one bedroom, one bath, family room with media center and space for the pool table, office and wine cellar.  The family room opens to the entertainment terrace with infinity pool and spa.

 

The beautifully remodeled guest house has also been expanded to include two bedrooms, one bath, kitchen, and generous living area with view deck and patio.  It is situated above the oversized three car garage and has peeks of ocean views as well as mountain views.

 

The avocado orchard has over 50 trees, primarily Haas, but also Fuerte and Pinkerton varieties. There are also numerous fruit trees and a custom built tree house.
