Estate Property Listing
Commissioned for a $96M private compound in Northern California. Written for use in private brokerage decks, investor presentations, and UHNW listing platforms, the copy was structured as an immersive architectural walkthrough. Emphasis was placed on spatial precision, material integrity, and permanence without relying on sales tropes or decorative filler.
Excerpt:
Offered at $96,000,000 | 87 acres
Set above the Pacific across 87 acres of ridgeline and forest, this private compound is framed by redwoods, native oak, and protected horizon. Built into the hillside and surrounded by land on all sides, the home remains one of the few permitted at this elevation, with direct ocean views and total structural privacy.
A gravel motor court sits beyond a slow, tree-lined approach. The home rises naturally from the landscape, shaped by grade, light, and restraint.
Inside, the scale expands. A double-height reception room opens with hand-milled timber beams, exposed steel trusses, clerestory windows, and stone quarried nearby and reworked for color, grain, and permanence. The fireplace is open on two sides and centered in the room, with soft seating areas positioned to define the space without dividing it.
The main living areas connect in quiet sequence: a sunken conversation lounge, dining area, and reading alcove draw the eye toward the ocean. Sightlines are experienced throughout and never interrupted by form.
A fully enclosed library sits just off the great room. Across from it, a meditation atrium occupies the central axis, open to sky and enclosed in cedar and poured concrete. The west-facing gallery corridor connects the northern and southern wings of the home with acoustically softened walls and uninterrupted circulation.
The kitchen is both a work space and a work of art—crafted for utility and proportion. It includes a La Cornue Grand Palais 180 range, Gaggenau wall ovens, Miele dishwashers, and Sub-Zero refrigeration, all set into walnut cabinetry. A concealed walk-through pantry leads to the catering entrance. Marble surfaces throughout the kitchen and prep zones were sealed and finished by hand, with natural veining preserved across each full slab.
The adjacent family den includes a second fireplace and opens directly to the terrace. The dining room sits just beyond it, with access to a built-in wood-fired pizza oven framed in stone and a separate hearth zone designed for extended meals and evenings outside.
