A Legendary Cliff May Estate with Iconic Views and Endless Possibilities. Perched atop one of the most coveted streets in the exclusive guard-gated community of Rolling Hills, this extraordinary Cliff May-designed estate offers a rare opportunity to own one of the Peninsula's most remarkable properties. Set on approximately two usable acres, the residence captures breathtaking panoramic views stretching from the Queen’s Necklace and the Los Angeles skyline to dazzling city lights below. Originally selected by the former president of Southern California Edison as the premier homesite on Buggy Whip Drive, this exceptional property was chosen for its commanding 180-degree vistas, expansive flat grounds, and unparalleled privacy. Decades later, it remains one of Rolling Hills’ most treasured settings. The timeless California ranch architecture envisioned by renowned architect Cliff May seamlessly blends indoor and outdoor living. Nearly every room enjoys spectacular views, with walls of glass framing the skyline and filling the home with natural light. Vaulted ceilings, marble flooring, and elegant entertaining spaces create a refined yet comfortable environment. The thoughtfully designed floor plan features five bedrooms and five-and-one-half bathrooms, including formal living and dining rooms, a gourmet kitchen, and an adjoining family room that opens effortlessly to the outdoor entertaining areas. Outside, resort-style amenities await. A sparkling pool, expansive patios, and built-in barbecue create the ultimate setting for sunset entertaining. With approximately two flat acres, there is ample space for a pickleball court, tennis court, vineyard, orchard, or expanded equestrian facilities. Equestrian enthusiasts will appreciate the existing barn and corral with potential for future enhancement or possible conversion into an ADU or guest residence (buyer to verify with the City). A detached guest apartment with kitchenette provides comfortable accommodations for visitors, extended family, or live-in staff. Beyond the gates, Rolling Hills offers one of Southern California’s most coveted lifestyles with private riding and hiking trails, community tennis courts, three guarded entrances, and a serene rural atmosphere just minutes from beaches, shopping, dining, and award-winning schools.
