An upper-level observation deck offers panoramic views of the surrounding polo fields, transforming the landscape into an extension of the home and providing a distinctive space for entertaining, relaxation, and connection to the outdoors. Natural materials, including wood siding, stone accents, and authentic detailing, reflect the region’s heritage, while light-filled interiors maximize openness and functionality. Interiors, designed by Objekt Designs, deliver a refined interpretation of California’s agrarian tradition.
