Listing Description:

Ocean Crest | Architectural Coastal Retreat on Gavilan Hillside.

Perched high on the coveted Gavilan Hillside, Ocean Crest is a brand-new custom residence capturing sweeping, unobstructed views of the Pacific—stretching from Cerritos Beach to San Pedrito and across the lush valley of Pescadero. With rare dual ocean exposures and dramatic mountain backdrops, this home offers one of the most compelling view corridors in the region.

An Architectural Collectible
Ocean Crest is not a spec build—it is a design-driven residence by Ras-a Studio (Robert Sweet), an AIA-recognized, award-winning architecture firm named among Forbes’ Top 200 Residential Architects. Sweet’s work is widely published in Dwell, Architectural Digest, and Dezeen, and is known for defining a modern coastal aesthetic sought after by buyers from Los Angeles and San Francisco.

Site-Specific Design | Built for This Exact Hillside
Unlike typical “stacked box” construction, Ocean Crest is sculpted into the land. Its terraced, multi-level layout is designed to preserve sightlines, maximize privacy, and protect view corridors long-term. The architecture works with the topography—not against it.

Climate-Driven Living
The home incorporates passive cooling principles—strategic orientation, cross-ventilation, and airflow design—allowing ocean breezes to naturally regulate temperature and reduce reliance on mechanical A/C.

Designed for modern coastal living, the property features 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, a private pool, garage, and three fireplaces, blending clean architectural lines with warm, high-end finishes throughout.

The kitchen is anchored by a Smeg professional appliance suite, including a 48” dual-fuel range with double ovens, pro-style vent hood, multi-door refrigeration, and integrated dishwasher—built for both everyday living and elevated entertaining. Custom Rosa Morada hardwood cabinetry paired with premium BLUM soft-close systems delivers both durability and refined craftsmanship.

Infrastructure and systems have been thoughtfully executed for performance and efficiency:
•⁠ ⁠Hybrid solar system with EG4 18kPV inverter, ~5kW bifacial panels, and 14.3 kWh lithium battery
•⁠ ⁠Designed for seamless CFE backup integration with capacity for future expansion
•⁠ ⁠18,000L cistern with pressurized system and greywater recycling for landscape irrigation
•⁠ ⁠190L water heater with recirculation pump for instant hot water
•⁠ ⁠500L gas system servicing stove, fireplaces, and water heating
•⁠ ⁠Energy-efficient Mirage inverter mini-split A/C systems
•⁠ ⁠Hurricane-rated windows throughout

Outdoor living is equally dialed in, featuring a Pentair-equipped pool system, gas-heated spa, pool heating infrastructure for optional future upgrades, and a marine-grade outdoor shower—ideal after days spent at nearby Cerritos Beach.

The eco-conscious landscape incorporates native and adaptive plantings, creating a low-maintenance desert-coastal environment that complements the surrounding terrain.

Home amenities: BBQ Area, Pool, Spa, Storage Area, Multiple Terraces

Ocean Crest is a rare opportunity to own a design-forward, architecturally significant home with true dual-beach views, modern infrastructure, and long-term efficiency—just minutes from surf, dining, and the evolving lifestyle scene of Cerritos and Pescadero.
