1280 State Highway 20

This extraordinary 44-acre hilltop estate is a labor of love, meticulously crafted from its inception, designed with sustainability and beauty in mind. It provides unparalleled panoramic views of Clear Lake from the home and the 5-acre deer-fenced olive orchard which was planted in 2006 with 500 Tuscan olive trees. The orchard is dry-farmed and produces about 100 gallons of extra-virgin olive oil annually, processed and bottled on-site with a stainless-steel hammer mill. This property is self-contained and off-grid, powered by a 5,000+ watt solar system servicing both the home and the orchard. Water is abundant with two wells, ensuring reliable water production year-round. The home, built in 2011, is a 2BD/2BA 2300 sqf custom design. From the moment you step inside, you are greeted by a wall of windows and bi-fold glass doors, framing the unobstructed views of the valley, orchards, Clear Lake and Mt. Konocti. The open-concept living space features a curved stone wall anchoring the great room, oak flooring, pine beam ceilings and custom wood finishes. The home’s kitchen includes handcrafted cabinets and granite countertops. Both spacious bedrooms feature ensuite bathrooms finished in neutral tones, and an additional loft area offers flexible space that can serve as extra sleeping quarters, a home office or recreation room. Outside, a vast deck is perfect for entertaining, dining, or simply enjoying the amazing views. The estate also includes an oversized 2-car garage, a bunkhouse/equipment shed, an olive oil processing shed, and additional full bathroom, all surrounded by mature trees and greenery. Despite its serene, secluded feel, this property offers the best of both worlds it’s located just off Highway 20 on a private, gated road, only 20 minutes from town, shopping, restaurants, wineries and all amenities, and just 10 minutes from Clear Lake and Blue Lakes. What a rare and exceptional opportunity to own a unique off-grid estate that combines sustainable living, privacy, breathtaking views and modern comfort. Don’t miss your chance --- This one-of-a-king property is on the market for the very first time!!! (age,parcel size, permits, property lines not verified by agents)
