From the Agent: "Perched atop a dramatic 100-foot bluff, this Ricardo Legorreta–inspired home embraces adjacent rock formations, sea caves, and the Pacific Ocean. As you exit Highway 1 and pass through the gate at Westmar, a pine tree–shaded road leads you to a lava rock driveway abutting a grand lavender field. The landscaped garden framing the residence features modern art and sculptures, water fountains, and purple African lilies. A recent retrofit introduced high-speed WiFi throughout the property, an extensive video surveillance system, and a major systems upgrade to create one of the few smart homes on the North Coast. As an added bonus, a commercial-grade generator provides the owner with a seamless transition to off-the-grid power when required."

A long, winding driveway leads to the sprawling home, which sits on nearly nine acres. Colorful sculptures dot the front yard, complementing the vibrant interiors.
