‘Strikingly unique’ estate for sale in California floats above the rest — literally
A beautiful residence that happens to be an entire new life experience has graced the real estate market in sunny Agoura Hill, California, for $2.95 million.
It’s called an elevated mountain home, and it was designed by famed architect Ellis Davis Gelman — known for providing “what is appropriate for the buildings and environments that are in their charge” when it comes to his craft, the Ellis Gelman website says.
“Elevated” in this instance means when you look at it, it appears to float. The illusion gets some help from heavy-duty looking stilts and planks.
“Sitting on nearly an entire acre of land and elevated a full floor above the ground, this modern home offers panoramic views and top-notch design over an expansive single-level floor plan,” a news release on the home said.
The three-bedroom, four-bathroom home is 3,064 square feet and is not only a work of art on the outside, but on the light-filled interior as well.
Features include:
High ceilings
Oversized deck
Chef’s kitchen
Laundry room
Fireplaces
Plenty of storage
The property also offers two “kit houses” near the deck area for extra space and privacy to work.
“Floating above the expansive lot with stunning views of the Santa Monica mountains, this strikingly unique home will take your breath away,” listing agent Amy Snider described in a release.
“It is rare to find such an effective balance of artful design and functional living. Surrounded by nature, this home offers ultimate tranquility without sacrificing modern conveniences. This is one of those rare opportunities to own and live in a true work of art.”
The listing is held by Compass.
Agoura Hills is near the Santa Monica Mountains, about 35 miles northwest of Los Angeles.
