A Zen-Inspired, Contemporary Oasis in La Jolla

This extraordinary zen-inspired oasis is located in La Jolla, one of San Diego’s most prestigious enclaves. Set behind handcrafted gates, a private drive surrounded by mature trees leads to this secret hideaway, located on two-and-a-half acres of beautifully landscaped grounds designed with meandering pathways rife with palms and bonsai, providing an ethereal moment at every turn. This estate boasts resort-caliber amenities as well as breathtaking city views, embodying the quintessential Southern California lifestyle with an air of the exotic.

A Japanese footbridge over a storybook-like creek leads to 6089 La Jolla Scenic Dr., a 13,532-square-foot stunner, which features a petrified wood bubble entry fountain by Stone Forest, custom, professionally antiqued red sliding doors on either side of the entry and custom-designed, double entry doors. Featuring interiors by B.E. Designs, the sleek, contemporary aesthetic is enriched with exotic woods, soaring, decorative ceilings and sophisticated finishes, including Wenge flooring throughout.

Additional design highlights include cathedral hallway ceilings with light-box diffusers covered in “rice paper” and a chef’s kitchen with Caesarstone countertops, eat-in island, custom rectangular box pendant, cabinets by InPlace, basketweave, stainless steel tile behind the stovetop and a glass backsplash by Walker Zanger. The elegant dining room overlooks lush gardens, a parlor with a bar and tiered cinema with built-in theater seating. The family room boasts a six-foot-long fire ribbon gas fireplace with custom Corten Copper front, accented with stainless steel. Custom precast concrete columns with metal banding flank either side of the bar, which also features red antique Art Deco-style sconces on either side of the wall. Sliding pocket doors off the spacious great room fuse the interiors with an exceptional outdoor entertainment center, complete with a dining loggia and horseshoe-shaped bar with a built-in grill.

All six bedrooms are voluminous and bright, including the exceptional master suite with a spa-like bathroom, staggering showroom closet, distinctive fireplace, private balcony and window walls framing lush greenery. A fitness center and yoga studio feature an expansive terrace overlooking the home’s magnificent grounds. The children’s area boasts a small performance stage with theatre curtains, reading nook, craft area with utility sink, and ample storage for toys, sports equipment and craft supplies.

Exquisitely conceived for year-round recreation and entertaining, a vast backyard boasts a resort-like pool and spa that spill into a lower-level lap pool, sprawling, grassy baseball field, tennis and basketball courts. At once a showpiece of unbridled design and a refuge of peace and serenity, this magnificent zen retreat is mere minutes from the beach, La Jolla Village and the heart of San Diego.
