One of the major takeaways from the past two years in the world of real estate is that buyers are more interested—and motivated—than ever to get a bit outside of the big cities in their search for space and land. And while Southern California has a host of such hidden gems, few rival the unique setting and architectural beauty of Moorpark’s 7021 Martinique Drive.
California Listings Agoura Hills expert Mark Moskowitz holds the listing, and tell us the 23-acre property is the perfect property for the city buyer looking for luxury farm living.
“The complete privacy and tranquil peacefulness you experience when you are at the property is something you dream about when you are used to fighting traffic and loud neighborhoods,” Mark says. “The exquisite views of the orchard make you feel like you’re in the Italian countryside. Just imagine waking up to the gorgeous sunrise, drinking your coffee and reading the paper with the orchard views, and taking a peaceful walk through your property at sunset; it is vacation living every day.”
The six bedroom, four bathroom modern Mediterranean farmhouse underwent a $1.5 million renovation, with no expense was spared on the quality of finishes and fixtures. The main floor features a grand formal living and dining room, boasting high ceilings and large windows that allow natural sunlight to pour in throughout the home. The fireplaces are all dressed with 300-year-old barn wood mantels, adding quaint farmhouse vibes throughout.
The star of any true luxury property, the kitchen showcases custom cabinets which feature handmade Devol handles, Italian Quartzite countertops, and smart Thermador appliances which include a 60-inch range with a steam oven. Other finishes and features include Perrin and Rowe faucets in the kitchen, triple reverse osmosis water filters, a plumbed coffee machine and a wine fridge with three temperature zoning.
“I think what makes this home special is the thought and attention to detail that the sellers put into the home. They designed it as their dream home so they thought of practical everyday living and went above and beyond in the quality of materials they used,” says Ilyssa Moskowitz, Director of Marketing. “All the materials are custom or hand made which they imported from around the world adding texture and culture to every room. It’s a one-of-a-kind home where everything is complete and is truly move-in ready.”
Upstairs, you’ll find the library with farm wood shelving and a private balcony. Just down the hall, the master suite creates a private retreat, including a spa-worthy ensuite bath with a steam shower, stand-alone tub, custom light fixtures and even hidden outlets in your medicine cabinets so your counters never need to be cluttered. The master closet is custom built and features one of the two brand new washer and dryer sets the home offers.
The master also has a private balcony that spans around and offers some of the best views in the house. On clear days you can even see to the ocean!
“That’s what’s so amazing—even though you have 23+ acres of rolling hills, you are only 15 minutes to shopping and 45 minutes to the ocean,” Mark says. “So you get the secluded farm life with access to city life within minutes.”
To make the most of those 23+ acres, the home offers multiple outdoor social areas for indoor-outdoor entertainment. Multiple citrus trees span the property, seemingly tucked away in what could be the hills of Tuscany. So our yourself a glass of wine, cozy up around the custom-built firepit, and enjoy the slower pace of life outside the city.
