Known as the Art Haus, this La Jolla gem is hitting the market for the first time, and with it comes architectural wonder, incredible indoor-outdoor living spaces and a stellar solar-heated saltwater pool. It’s there, off the sparkling pool oasis, owners will find a dedicated art studio and private office. Overnighters can enjoy their own separate quarters while visiting as residents zip up the elevator to their own primary suite—with a retractable skylight for ample illumination in the primary bath. Museum-quality accents also entice, from the striking staircase in the home’s foyer to the dramatic granite backsplash and oversize island in the gourmet kitchen. Pacific Ocean views abound via floor-to-ceiling glass walls, and buyers will enjoy ample living space thanks to four bedrooms and four bathrooms sprawled across 4,683 square feet. Home chic home, indeed. Mark Lotzof and Craig Lotzfof, Compass, 619.540.5952; 858.243.4071, compass.com

One look at this one-of-a-kind Rancho Santa Fe estate and it’s hard to tell if you’re approaching an upscale hotel or a private residence. Designed and constructed by Encinitas’ Ken Ronchetti Design, the six-bedroom, seven-bathroom abode is tucked away on 3.45 acres and was remodeled within the last year. From the moment you step inside the 7,368-square-foot home, luxurious finishes abound—think marble floors and countertops, thoughtful lighting, surround sound throughout, a custom four-car glass garage, glass walls to bring the outdoors in and soaring ceilings to nod to its grandiosity. The outdoor living areas are equally spectacular—including an incredible outdoor kitchen and wet bar area teamed with verdant designer bar chairs. The central patio wows with two fireplaces, and the glittering pool, spa and lush green gardens equally dazzle. Where do we sign?

The largest of the estates featured thus far, 18315 Lago Vista shows off with five bedrooms and 7 ½ bathrooms, which span an immense 11,576 square feet. All situated on one level for streamlined living, the property is set on a more than 4-acre lot that’s hidden behind the coveted guard-gated community of Rancho Del Lago. Its own private gate provides additional security and privacy while blooming gardens, a vanishing-edge pool, an inviting spa, fire features, a tennis court and a pavilion, plus a separate two-bedroom, two-bath guest cottage—with its own dedicated kitchen—stun before you even enter the spectacular main home. It’s within those walls owners can relax in a serene primary suite featuring dual walk-in closets, a double shower and glass walls with Zen garden views—the best of which may be from the Thassos soaking tub. Fire features also lie beyond the walls of the primary bedroom and bathroom for an intimate ambiance. And when slumber strikes, automated shades block the bright morning light. While custom lighting and walnut and limestone porcelain flooring showcase the home’s opulence, its use of solar panels, an irrigation well and myriad energy-efficient features nod to its sustainability, proving it’s a property that not only looks good, but is one you can feel good about as well.
