Nestled within the serene expanse of Live Oak Canyon, this 1982 custom-built redwood contemporary masterpiece offers a rare blend of architectural character and equestrian potential. Situated on a private, gated lot with panoramic valley and mountain views, the residence strikes a perfect balance between clean modern lines and the warm, inviting soul of a cabin. Soaring cathedral ceilings, river rock accents, and rich barnwood floors define the main living spaces, while expansive windows and wood shutters frame the breathtaking scenery. This home is a true sanctuary for those seeking a sophisticated rural lifestyle without sacrificing proximity to the city.
The home's innovative layout is thoughtfully designed for versatile living, featuring two distinct wings that can seamlessly function as a single grand estate or two private, independent residences. The primary wing is a masterclass in luxury, anchored by a primary suite with a private balcony with views of the valley, a redwood appointed fireplace, skylights, dual closets, and a completely updated spa-like bathroom featuring dual sinks, a standalone tub, and walk-in shower. Downstairs is another private suite with bedroom, updated bathroom, and valley views. The heart of the home boasts a recently updated chef's kitchen equipped with a Sub-Zero refrigerator, double ovens, and crisp white quartz countertops. The secondary wing--complete with its own living room, two bedrooms, loft, kitchen, laundry area, and updated bathroom--offers an ideal solution for extended family, long-term guests, or a dedicated home office retreat. Outdoor living is elevated by approximately 2,000 square feet of wood and composite decking, providing a sprawling stage for entertaining against the backdrop of the canyon. The grounds feature a fully equipped outdoor kitchen, a stylish pergola, and lush lawn space with significant room to customize. Modern essentials are well-accounted for, including a 200-amp electrical panel with newly buried supply lines (2025), a three-car garage, and a hot water recirculation system. This estate is a rare opportunity to own a legacy property that offers both the privacy of a mountain retreat and the functional flexibility required for modern, sophisticated living. Located within the award winning Claremont Unified School District and with proximity to the 210 and 57 freeways, as well as the Claremont Colleges, this is the perfect place to call your forever home.
