2.4-Acre, Hilltop Compound with City Lights & Pastoral Views
Nestled in the coveted Lemon Heights neighborhood of North Tustin, 1875 La Cuesta Drive stands as one of the most extraordinary estates in Southern California. Built in the 1930s and lovingly maintained for nearly 30 years by a single family, this 2.4-acre hilltop compound blends historic character with timeless luxury; offering a rare sense of privacy, scale, and grandeur.
Old-World Craftsmanship Meets Modern Refinement
The 6,500 square foot main residence showcases remarkable architectural integrity and design. Inside, hand-applied stucco walls, antique walnut woodwork, and carved stone mantels reflect old-world craftsmanship rarely seen today. Soaring ceilings and generous windows fill the home with natural light, creating a feeling of timeless sophistication throughout.
A Private Oasis Above the City
Enveloped by more than 90 mature trees, many rising over 50 feet, the property feels like a world of its own. From its elevated position, the views stretch from Catalina Island and Palos Verdes across the rolling hills to the snow-capped mountains beyond. Unlike most hilltop properties that trade usable land for elevation, 1875 La Cuesta Drive defies convention offering lush, level grounds paired with cinematic panoramas.
A True Hilltop Compound
Beyond the main home, 1875 La Cuesta Drive offers multiple structures designed for comfort, privacy, and entertainment. A two-story guest house and carriage house welcome visitors, while a recreation center and expansive veranda exceeding 1,000 square feet are ideal for gatherings beneath the California sun.
At the heart of the estate, the infinity-edge pool and spa command sweeping valley and city light views, transforming from serene retreat by day to glittering spectacle by night. Every feature from the circular motor court and central fountain to the meandering garden pathways, invites exploration and reflection.
And for those with vision, an undeveloped one-acre parcel awaits your imagination. Whether you dream of a vineyard, sculpture vineyard, sculpture garden, or private orchard, the possibilities are endless.
