''The Castle,'' a striking contemporary pool home built in 2012, featuring 4 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, and 4,074 square feet of refined living space. Situated on 1.17 acres, the property offers uninterrupted ocean, island, city, and mountain views, extending from Point Mugu to the Gaviota Coast. Built by Becker Design Studios, this two-story residence makes an impressive statement from the moment you step inside. The entry opens into a grand living room with 20-foot ceilings, an elegant Fortuny chandelier, polished concrete floors, and a massive fireplace. Adjacent is the dream kitchen, complete with a large center island, soapstone countertops, mahogany cabinetry, and La Cornue gas. Accordion folding French doors open to the pool deck and frame spectacular south-facing views. Nearby, the formal dining room features walls of glass, perfectly positioning for the stunning views as the backdrop for your meals. The first level also includes a powder room, an ensuite guest bedroom, a family room/den, and a third bedroom with an adjoining bath. On the second floor, the primary suite serves as a private retreat with a spacious bath, walk-in closet, and a view deck offering unparalleled vistas. A fourth bedroom and bath complete the upper level. Throughout the home, you'll find blended modern & luxurious features: polished concrete floors downstairs, mahogany wood floors upstairs, plaster walls, custom doors, and cathedral ceilings. The zinc-coated roof enhances the home's distinct architectural character. The meticulously designed grounds feature a variety of fruit trees, drought-tolerant native landscaping, a Gordon & Grant hot tub on a lower deck, and a trailer-mounted tiny house as a guesthouse/office with its own bath, and a new 3-car garage. This extraordinary residence, a true work of art inside and out, offers a rare opportunity for those seeking architectural beauty combined with awe-inspiring surroundings. Located within the highly regarded Cold Spring School District, this is truly your Castle in the Sky.
