Ramona, Near San Diego, California
A striking example of scale and functionality, this off-grid sanctuary occupies 40 sweeping acres within the iconic Cleveland National Forest, offering uninterrupted canyon and mountain vistas. Aptly named Cloud Ridge Estate, the four-bedroom retreat features a private heliport, allowing ten-minute flights to San Diego Airport. Its infrastructure, centred on aviation facilities, is designed for complete discretion and autonomy – there’s a dedicated hangar, a fully equipped machine shop, and a pilot’s lounge, all ensuring seamless private arrivals and departures.
Rustic-modern elegance defines the design and decor, with beamed ceilings, expansive living spaces, French doors throughout, and a layout thoughtfully curated for entertaining or private retreat. The gourmet kitchen, complete with an island, walk-in pantry, and premium appliances, unfurls effortlessly into the family room and onto the terrace.
The property is entirely self-sustaining, with a 20KW solar array supported by ten Tesla Powerwalls, two 25GPM wells for independent water supply, and electric heating with ductless cooling. Additionally, it offers 100 uncovered parking spaces, followed by a three-car attached garage with premium features.
Few homes have an approach as staggering as Cloud Ridge Estate, where the majesty of its outdoor setting rivals that of its interiors. A 75-foot infinity pool with electric heating, bar, and fire pit, a heated spa, and an al fresco kitchen form the heart of the outdoor living space. Beyond this, the estate offers an array of on-site amenities, including a vineyard-ready plot, shooting range, lake, and private hiking and riding trails. A structurally graded half-acre pad provides potential for future expansion.
An uncompromising expression of independence, Cloud Ridge Estate is listed for $4.95 million.
Pikesville, Baltimore Area, Maryland
A rare opportunity to acquire one of Pikesville’s most commanding private estates, this custom-built all-brick residence is thoughtfully designed for multigenerational living, showcasing exceptional craftsmanship and lofty proportions throughout.

Just minutes from Baltimore’s Inner Harbor and a short drive from BWI Airport, the estate sits within the exclusive Anton North enclave and is listed at $5.9 million.
Kauai, Hawaii, United States
For those who want more than just a home, this 8.6-acre bluff-top parcel presents a truly rare opportunity. Nestled at the end of a cul-de-sac within the private 35-lot gated enclave of Kealia Kai, the plot borders the Pacific, serving a kaleidoscope of views from the ocean to the Ninini Point Lighthouse. Mostly levelled and cleared, this land offers a blank canvas, ready to be reimagined into a world-class estate or agricultural retreat with a guest house. A mere 20-minute drive from Lihu’e Airport, it offers cinematic seclusion without compromising on accessibility.
Directly below the bluff, the Ke Ala Hele Makalae coastal path skirts the property, leading into the Kealia Beach, Donkey Beach (Paliku) and the bustling Kapa’a town. The richness of this plot also reflects in its recreational value, offering plenty of chances for bodyboarding, fishing or whale-watching framed by dramatic backdrops of the mountains and spectral sunrises and sunsets.
