2665 Idle Hour Lane

Here’s a place that takes luxury and turns it into a living, breathing experience with an unapologetic sense of self. Nestled on a flat, private corner lot of 1.55 acres in La Jolla Farms – a neighborhood that wears exclusivity like a badge – this home doesn’t just sit pretty; it’s part of the very fabric of one of the most coveted coastal enclaves in Southern California. Imagine having your own gate key to the only vehicle access road to Black’s Beach – that’s the kind of privilege you get here, not just a home, but an entire lifestyle. The property itself? Timeless. Elegant. A perfect marriage of South of France charm, Santa Barbara warmth, and Napa Valley sophistication. The gated brick motor court welcomes you, setting the tone for what’s to come. Parklike grounds unfold before you, framed by lush, mature trees that create a natural privacy wall. Meandering pathways lead to a secret garden that feels like it’s hiding some untold story, and the gentle hum of the ocean breeze is never too far away. Inside, this home speaks in quiet, powerful whispers. Picture this: high ceilings framed with reclaimed fir beams, sun-drenched teak French doors opening to the world, and an endless dance of light filtering through every window. The interiors are both expansive and intimate, with wall-to-wall Texas limestone underfoot and zoned hydronic in-floor heating that ensures every step is met with warmth. The continuity between indoor and outdoor spaces is flawless – it’s as if nature itself was invited to the party. The chef’s kitchen? The heart of the home in the truest sense. It’s not just a place to cook; it’s an experience. A dining area large enough for ten, with al fresco options just beyond, beckoning you to dine beneath the open sky. Upstairs, each bedroom is a sanctuary, framed by partial ocean views and perfect for watching sunsets or hang gliders carving the sky. And the sun/art room? It’s the perfect place to reflect or create, with a covered terrace with treetop and water views that feels like an extension of the horizon. Downstairs, the guest suite doubles as a secondary primary bedroom, offering both privacy and comfort. It has an adjoining room that can be your office, gym, or whatever you need it to be. Additional perks? Solar power, a detached storage casita, central heat and AC, and a garage – plus endless space to play, from the backyard to beyond. Living here means living within a neighborhood that offers unparalleled access to the coast, including fob entry to Black’s Beach, as well as scenic hiking trails that connect you to the Torrey Pines Gilder Port and even the Torrey Pines Golf Course if you’re feeling adventurous. The whole area is a playground for those who know, and those who will. La Jolla Shores, the freeway access, and all the conveniences are close, but you’ll probably never want to leave. This isn’t just a home. It’s a rare slice of Southern California’s finest coastline, a peaceful refuge, and a statement all rolled into one. And it’s waiting for you.
