Property Description
This treasured, Cliff May designed ocean-view home is in the much-loved Lower Hermosa neighborhood. An architectural gem, it has both Historic and Mills Act Designations. Perfectly sited and designed for effortless indoor and outdoor living, the home wraps around a spacious interior courtyard, anchored by a majestic olive tree. The design is a marriage of California Ranch and Hacienda styles. It owns a precious timelessness. The spacious living room, with large balcony, overlooks ocean vistas. With formal dining and four ensuite bedrooms, the residence offers an ideal balance of openness with privacy gardens that surround the home. Be a part of Cliff May's legacy.
Cliff May, often hailed as the father of the California ranch house, revolutionized mid-century home design by merging traditional Spanish hacienda architecture with the modern ideals of functional elegance. May’s personal connection to California’s history profoundly influenced his work. His ranch-style homes captured the spirit of the American West, emphasizing casual, expansive living spaces that blur the line between indoors and out. May’s designs were admired by architectural icons such as Frank Lloyd Wright, who recognized the harmony between May's use of natural materials and integration with the landscape. May's homes, like Wright’s prairie houses, stretch low to the ground as if the house grew naturally from the earth itself.
