Remarks: Rare 30-Acre Multifamily Estate with Two Homes, Two Pools, and Infinite Possibility. Some properties are simply places to live, this is not one of them. Set behind private gates on 30 park-like acres, this extraordinary estate offers two beautifully appointed single-family homes, two solar-heated saltwater lap pools, and a landscape so thoughtfully cultivated it borders on art. With 5 bedrooms, 7 bathrooms, and zoning that allows for a third structure or barn, this is a rare canvas for those who demand both luxury and freedom. A living, breathing sanctuary with over 300 hand-selected trees (valued at more than $200K) frame a curated private forest with a cleared walking path and a serene creek along the rear of the property. Towering bamboo creates a natural privacy wall, while an orchard of avocado, mango, lemon, lime, peach, and loquat delivers seasonal abundance. Deer, cranes, and songbirds complete the scene. Built for wellness & sustainability, every detail reflects an intentional approach to healthy living: a top-of-the-line Leaf whole-property water filtration system, three wells (including two dedicated to irrigation), three fully paid-off solar systems, and non-toxic natural fertilizers used exclusively throughout the grounds. Luxury here doesn't come at the expense of the environment — it's powered by it. Designed for living & entertaining, two elegant gazebos anchor the outdoor entertaining spaces — one fully equipped with electricity, a ceiling fan, and electronic blinds. A Hawaiian-inspired garden, cleared land ideal for events or camping, and a dedicated target range round out the grounds. Whether you're hosting an intimate wedding, a forest bathing retreat, or a fireworks celebration under the stars, this property delivers. Inside, both homes are furnished with Serena & Lily pieces that balance relaxed luxury with timeless sophistication — available for a seamless turnkey purchase.
