Elegant ‘tree house’ with pristine seaside view is for sale in California. Take a look

An estate that is the epitome of chicness is making hearts skip a beat every time people glance at mere photos of the property — and it’s easy to see why.

It’s called The Tree House, and it was designed by an award-winning architecture firm. Its striking beauty not only comes from its layout but also from its jaw-dropping panoramic views.

“A marvel of sculptural and exceptional design slowly reveals its magnificence from a secluded drive on the most exclusive street in La Jolla,” the listing on Compass describes. “The home’s edifices of cantilevered volumes brilliantly integrate with a collective of mature cork oak, Torrey Pines and fragrant Southern magnolias, while honed limestone flooring, rich woods, and rough-hewn stone walls are elegantly juxtaposed with private courtyards and reflecting pools.”

Priced at $34.75 million, the five-bedroom, 6.5 bathroom, 11,239-square-foot home is the second most expensive home for sale in the area. It has no shortage of remarkable features, including:

  • Zen garden

  • Spiral staircase

  • Lap pool

  • Theater

  • Bar

  • Private dog area

  • Outdoor pizza oven

“This is a rare blend of finding the perfect lot and building the perfect house,” listing agent Ross Clark said in a news release. “It is truly a one-of-a-kind, ultra-private gated compound on an extremely rare 1.5 acres with ocean views. Usually when these homes are built, they never go on the market. It is everything you could ever want in an ultramodern house.”

La Jolla is about 15 miles northwest of San Diego.

Clark and Brett Dickinson hold the listing.
