A Once-in-a-Generation Mount Helix Estate with Commanding Ocean Views Offered for the first time since its completion in 1975, this irreplaceable legacy residence crowns the prestigious hills of Mount Helix — a setting where panoramic, unobstructed views stretch west to the Pacific and sweep across the northern and eastern horizons. Privately perched on an expansive half-acre promontory, this custom-built estate represents a combination rarely available at any price point: scale, privacy, usable land, and breathtaking multi-directional vistas. In today’s market, opportunities to secure this much view, this much land, and this level of seclusion within such a coveted community are increasingly scarce. Inside, soaring vaulted ceilings elevate the grand formal living and family rooms, anchored by a dramatic double-sided stone fireplace that serves as both architectural centerpiece and gathering place. Generous room proportions, brand-new carpeting, and walls of glass create an ideal foundation for either preserving its timeless character or executing a world-class modern transformation. The primary suite, wrapped in floor-to-ceiling corner windows that capture ever-changing light and sunset skies. Two substantial secondary bedrooms occupy a private wing opposite the master bedroom wing, separated by an oversized bath — thoughtfully designed for comfort and flexibility. The grounds offer both beauty and potential. Mature Meyer lemon and tangerine trees complement the manageable front landscaping, along with plenty of parking in the 3 car garage, 2 car carport & large driveway.
