Perched on a sweeping green slope with panoramic ocean and mountain views, this award-winning Haiku retreat blends modern architecture with the serene elegance of a high-end sanctuary. Designed by renowned firm SEE Architecture, the home draws inspiration from iconic museums like the Getty and Venice Guggenheim, mid-century modern design, and the quiet refinement of luxury retreat spaces. Behind a minimalist facade, the experience unfolds—floor-to-ceiling glass reveals unobstructed vistas, blurring the line between indoors and out. Natural materials—including vein-cut silver travertine, western red cedar, and walnut crafted by local artisans—anchor the home to its surroundings. The structure itself is a precision steel BONE system, designed for longevity and environmental harmony. Inside, the interiors are curated with intention: Florim Italian porcelain tile throughout, custom millwork by Henrybuilt in the kitchen, baths, and beyond, handmade Heath Ceramics tile details, bronzed Honduran mahogany pivot door entry, Forbes & Lorax light switches, Phillip Jeffries woven wall coverings, and Waterworks fixtures and finishes. The open-plan layout flows effortlessly from artful entry to the main living spaces, with every room oriented toward the lush, private acreage and distant blue horizon. Beyond the glass, the landscape includes sculptural elements like Chinese scholar’s rocks, a sleek modern swimming pool, and rolling pastures where horses roam. A separate guest cottage provides additional space for visitors, work, or creative pursuits, all while maintaining the retreat’s sense of privacy. The arrival experience is equally compelling—lush, mature landscaping lines the private drive, a verdant gateway cultivated over the past 20 years with care and intention. Several acres of established orchard also grace the property, producing a bounty of citrus, avocado, mango, banana, starfruit, and more—a testament to the land’s abundance and stewardship. A thoughtfully built 1,152 sq ft barn sits tucked near a private eucalyptus forest—an elegant, utilitarian complement offering exceptional potential for future use. This is more than a residence—it’s a living gallery of design, detail, and tranquility.
