“But what is happiness except the simple harmony between a man and the life he leads.” ----Albert Camus
On a visit to Texas, expect to see plenty of ranches. Colorado offers majestic mountains and Arizona, breathtaking canyons.
Luckily for Californians, we have all of these marvels, and a perfect example of this lies in the Cheseboro Canyon of the Santa Monica National Preserve, specifically the engaging neighborhood of Old Agoura. Only an hour from the Hollywood sign, it’s light years away: an enclave where there are more horses than residents – and the residents love it that way!
One of these ranch homes is set behind a grove of pepper, sycamore, and fruit trees. Grape vines trail along the fence of one side of the home, where a horseshoe-shaped driveway holds room for at least 20 cars.
Immediately upon entering the great room/kitchen, it’s obvious that the home has been entirely renovated, while still preserving its ranch style charm. A ledged-stone fireplace with raised hearth, dark hardwood floors, and vaulted ceilings encourage lounging, while the kitchen, with brick floors, skylights, commercial 6-burner stove, farmhouse sink, and marble counters proves that beauty is entirely compatible with function. An elegant dining room, with custom molding is adjacent to the kitchen.
A few steps beyond is a 25 by 30 foot living room, with vaulted, open-beamed ceilings and travertine stone floors. Each of the four walls holds iron sconces, 10 in all, enough to light up any holiday celebration in this stunning room! Adjacent is an end wing bedroom with a private entrance.
The master suite is everything a pampered master or mistress demands: Two sets of French doors leading to the back terrace, a walk-in closet with custom cabinetry, rain-bath stone shower, double-granite sinks, and oversized soaking tub. Three other bedrooms complete the home, one with a private bath, and the others sharing a large bathroom.
The backyard hosts a flagstone terrace, pool, spa, ½ court basketball area, and a two-car garage, plus an attached 25’ by 25’ storage room. Residents have access to the nearby horse arena and direct access to miles of beautiful trails, a treasured amenity of this neighborhood.
One hundred-year-old oak trees form a surreal canopy on the quiet road leading to this step back in time, to this simple harmony……..to happiness.
