LOCALLA

New Co-Ownership Opportunity: Own one-eighth of this turnkey home, professionally managed by Pacaso. Escondido sits behind two private gates on Pacific Coast Highway, a palm-lined two-acre property with mature olive and fruit trees that gives the estate a rare sense of privacy on this stretch of coast. The white stucco exterior has a Mediterranean character arched windows, terrace levels and a presence that reads as unhurried and substantial against the hillside.The entry foyer opens to a grand double staircase beneath 30-foot ceilings, with light hardwood and parquet floors running throughout the main level. The all-white kitchen has beamed ceilings, Caesarstone countertops, a large island with open shelving and a casual dining area alongside. A formal dining room, office, library and gym give Escondido a range of spaces that suits longer stays and larger groups equally well. The primary bedroom is on the second floor with ocean views, a fireplace and an en suite bath with a freestanding soaking tub and walk-in shower. The theater, bar, wine cellar and game room sit on the lower level alongside the remaining bedrooms.The pool and spa sit on a terrace with ocean views, and the grounds include walking paths, a volleyball court and multiple outdoor dining and lounge areas. The separate guest house has its own kitchen, living area and sunny deck. Escondido Beach is minutes away, and Geoffrey's Malibu, with its clifftop California-Mediterranean cooking and sweeping ocean views, is close for dinner.Escondido is professionally designed, appointed and managed by Pacaso. Every detail is handled and every arrival is ready, so owners simply show up and the estate does the rest.
