About This Home
As of April 2025Inside the coveted coastal enclave of Hope Ranch lies this stunningly renovated Spanish-style estate - a sanctuary of understated luxury inspired by the architectural undertones of George Washington Smith. While many homes lay claim to noteworthy distinctions, Casa Colibrí (''House of the Hummingbird'') truly stands in a class of its own. Every inch of this estate has been thoughtfully, meticulously, painstakingly reconditioned to restore the home to its authentic roots. The magnificent result is a classically Spanish-style yet thoroughly modern estate, exuding a masterful combination of charm, comfort, architectural detail, and stylistic integrity.
