Panoramic Ocean Views. Total Privacy. Something Different. There's a reason homes like this rarely trade hands. Tucked away in one of Encinitas' most desirable coastal pockets, this estate quietly delivers what most buyers spend years searching for and almost never find. Ocean views that actually feel big. Spaces that live larger than expected. Separation where you want it. Connection where it matters. Main house. Detached suite. Separate creative spaces. Sunset rooftop moments. Courtyard mornings. Indoor/outdoor flow that feels intentional instead of forced. It's not just the ocean and mountain views. It's not just the layout. It's how the entire property lives. If you've been waiting for something that doesn't feel like everything else on the market, this is it.
