About this home
“Tree House” – That is the owner’s loving name for this one-acre+/- property in Leimert Estates which hosts a menagerie of forest wonderment. Adorning this parklike setting is a hand-crafted 3 bedroom / 4 bathroom primary home by a noted designer/builder, with whimsey and large windows, skylights and more letting the forest views in. The specialty design throughout puts this in a league of its own and there is so much to enjoy and celebrate of its uniqueness. Additionally, a later-built Casita with high ceilings, a ¾ bathroom, a deck to soak in the nature… and a Murphy bed allowing use as a guest cottage, an art space and/or an office. The meandering garden spaces throughout the property encompass a wide variety of plants, from ferns to cacti to lemon trees. The grounds offer various resting spots to visit and enjoy including an outside fireplace (gas) on granite hardscape and a path that leads to a storybook style bunkhouse with a composting facilities hut… Grandkids?! Solar power is owned and has produced all power as needed. The garage has a brand new door, skylights, lots of storage cabinets and an epoxy floor. The grounds are graced with landscape lighting and irrigation for ease throughout. This is a property with such surprises from the norm – it is a must ‘see and feel’ experience. Call your Realtor today.
North Coast, located between Ragged Point and Hearst Castle, is a coastal and rural San Simeon neighborhood with dramatic bluffs and wide-open ranchland. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along Cabrillo Highway (CA-1) at the Hearst Castle Road junction, where roadside pullouts, small lodges, and ocean-view stops set a wind-swept, road-trip tempo. Hearst Castle anchors the cultural landscape with hilltop architecture and formal gardens above the fog line. Down on the sand, William R. Hearst Memorial State Beach frames daily life around surf, dunes, and long shoreline walks. Elephant seal viewing at Piedras Blancas adds a seasonal ritual, while the Piedras Blancas Light Station keeps the horizon feeling historic.
