Rare opportunity to own a private single-level ranch estate in one of Rolling Hills Estates’ most sought-after neighborhoods. Set on an expansive 21,366 sqft flat lot, this beautifully designed home offers approximately 3,101 sqft with 5 bedrooms & 5 bathrooms, combining comfort, flexibility, and seamless indoor-outdoor California living.
The spacious chef’s kitchen serves as the heart of the home, featuring a premium Viking range, stainless steel finishes, generous prep space, and a charming farmhouse sink overlooking a fenced outdoor area ideal for a dog run or a peaceful cup of coffee. The kitchen opens naturally to both indoor gathering areas and outdoor dining for effortless entertaining, featuring three built-in natural gas connection points for heat lamps and a barbecue, allowing for comfortable outdoor gatherings year-round without the need for propane tanks.
The primary suite is a true private retreat, offering abundant space, natural light, and French doors with direct access to a secluded outdoor spa hot tub to relax under the night stars. The newly renovated spa-like master bath features heated floors, refined finishes, and a stand-alone deep soaking tub and a shower with multiple shower heads, designed for relaxation and everyday luxury.
True to its classic ranch style, nearly every room features French doors opening to the grounds, creating a bright and airy connection to the outdoors. The resort-style yard includes a sparkling pool with updated plaster and plumbing, along with a detached guest/pool house featuring its own bathroom, air conditioner and flexible use potential.
On the opposite side of the guest/pool house, a multi-use sports court overlooks the scenic Chandler Preserve, with direct access from the property to nearby hiking and nature trails, offering a rare opportunity to enjoy open space living and an active outdoor lifestyle right from your backyard.
Additional highlights include a finished two-car garage with upgraded flooring, a versatile bonus room located behind the garage ideal for a fitness room, office, or creative space, and a generous garden area currently producing fruits and vegetables.
Opportunities to own a private single-level estate with this combination of usable land, indoor-outdoor design, and direct access to preserved open space are extremely limited in Rolling Hills Estates. Properties offering this level of privacy, flexibility, and lifestyle appeal rarely remain available for long.
