Description
LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION! This extraordinary Early Californian Hacienda estate, crafted by Tripp McCallister and architect Dena Gillespie, is a rare gem nestled within the prestigious guard-gated community of Steele Canyon Golf Club. This stunning home offers a rare opportunity to live on one of Southern California’s most celebrated golf courses—right on the Par 5 9th hole of the Gary Player-designed 27-hole championship course. Every detail of this estate has been carefully curated to deliver a timeless blend of Old World charm and modern luxury. From the moment you arrive, you’re greeted by authentic Mexican pavers and dramatic Cantera stone columns sourced from Tecate—just a preview of the craftsmanship that awaits inside. Inside, the spacious living room impresses with sky-high wood-beamed ceilings, grand picture windows, and panoramic views of lush fairways and surrounding hills. The warmth and richness of the home are evident in the custom mahogany doors, windows, and trim—expertly handcrafted in Belize. In fact, the study and bar are uniquely paneled with seven rare hardwoods from the Belizean rainforest, showcasing the artistry throughout. Six fireplaces add character and comfort, including a stunning hand-carved mantle in the living room. The family room, designed for entertaining, includes a custom copper-topped bar and intricate wrought iron details that elevate the atmosphere. The chef’s kitchen is both beautiful and functional, featuring premium Wolf and SubZero appliances, a deep soapstone sink, and a unique hand-thrown pottery vegetable sink. Just off the main living areas, you’ll find a fully outfitted gym with a sauna, plus a richly paneled office ideal for working in peace and privacy. Outdoors, the resort-style amenities continue. Enjoy evenings in the covered BBQ and dining area, relax under a palapa, or take a dip in the dramatic pool finished in natural stone and inspired by Belize’s famous Blue Hole. The professionally landscaped grounds also include a Cantera stone fountain, multiple seating areas, and incredible views of lakes, fairways, and distant mountains. Additional features include a three-car garage plus separate golf cart garage, a fully paid solar system, and thoughtful finishes throughout—from a hand-built boveda ceiling in the entryway to artisan wrought iron accents that echo the home’s hacienda roots. Featured in San Diego Home/Garden Magazine, Garden Ideas & Outdoor Living Magazine, Dream Homes Magazine, and Garden Deck and Landscape Magazine, this exceptional property is more than just a home—it’s a lifestyle. Don’t miss the chance to own this masterpiece of architecture, craftsmanship, and location.
