2665 Idle Hour Lane , La Jolla, CA 92037

This extraordinary 5 bedroom-plus residence, set amidst over an acre and a half of magical grounds, is a private botanical retreat with meandering walking trails, and lush lawns. Inspired by timeless European design, with influences from the South of France, Tuscany, and Santa Barbara, the residence exudes warmth and sophistication. Teak French doors and windows flood the interiors with natural light, invite fresh ocean breezes, and create a seamless indoor-outdoor flow. A majestic, light-filled living room takes your breath away. Texas limestone floors with zoned hydronic in-floor heating, soaring ceilings framed by reclaimed fir beams, and a chef’s kitchen, plus two dining areas and an array of indoor and outdoor lounging spaces, define the home. A main-level guest suite with adjoining flex room, ideal for an office, gym, or playroom, offers both comfort and versatility. Upstairs, the primary and secondary bedrooms capture ocean and sunset views, and, every once in a while, even a view of hang gliders sailing across the horizon. A sun/art room adds another inviting space, a wonderful easy-to-live-in home. Located in La Jolla Farms, an exclusive enclave known for its estates and premier North La Jolla location. Easy access to UCSD, leading medical and art centers, and major freeways are a convenience. Residents are provided with a coveted gate key to access the world-renowned Black’s Beach. This home is a sanctuary of beauty, privacy, and timeless design.
