Property Description
Not on the market for over 65 years... 50 Rincon Vista was purchased just after the New Year in 1960, chosen for its exceptional sweeping ocean and mountain views--a rare dual panorama few Riviera properties offer. A true legacy property, it has hosted the gatherings and holidays of five generations. After being lost in the Tea Fire, the home was thoughtfully reimagined and rebuilt by the family's grandfather, an architect, and completed in 2010. Since then, it has been enjoyed for its modern feel paired with a timeless sense of elegance. Now, this special home is offered to the next generation. Privately positioned at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, the entry level unfolds with a natural ease--where the living room, dining, and kitchen flow outward to expansive decks, to capture the views This home is constantly drawing the eye to the horizon, inviting a seamless connection to the outdoors. On the entry level, the primary suite offers a quiet sense of retreat, while an office and guest bedroom are thoughtfully integrated, creating a sense of spaciousness while the rooms remain expansive yet intimate--each oriented to capture the views and support effortless single-level living. Set on approximately 0.48 acres, the property offers both privacy and possibility, with room for a future pool. The lower level of the residence features approximately 430 sq ft of additional storage, well-suited for a wine cellar or other bespoke use. A sprawling family room on this level opens to the views and curated gardens, complemented by a wet bar with space for games and movies. Two additional guest suites complete the level, each with en suite baths and expansive views. A rare Riviera offering where privacy, scale, and breathtaking views converge--inviting a lifestyle that feels both elevated and deeply personal.
