About This Property

Offered for the very first time, this extraordinary one-story residence in the Los Padres National Forest is the personal home of acclaimed ceramic artist Brent Bennett — designed by his hand, built to his vision, and embedded throughout with his irreplaceable work. Set on a rare flat lot at the front of a private cul-de-sac, the three-bedroom, two and a half bathroom home is as much a living artwork as it is a dwelling: where architecture, fine craft, and the wild beauty of one of California's great national forests meet in seamless, singular harmony. Bennett designed this luxurious, modern forest home to defy convention — walls converge and diverge at deliberate degrees, creating interior spaces that feel organic, dynamic, and perpetually alive. Rooms breathe, light moves through them in unexpected ways, and floor-to-ceiling windows in the Great Room along with skylights in the bathrooms and kitchen flood the home with natural light. A museum-quality track and recessed lighting system maintains gallery-level illumination day or night, honoring the ceramic works within — because no feature is more significant, or more unrepeatable, than the ceramic works Bennett embedded into its very fabric. The hand-made foyer floor tile, one-of-a-kind glazed vanity sinks, and fully tiled hand-designed relief ceramic shower enclosure are not installations that can be removed and rehung — they are the home, and they convey with the property. The kitchen features a complete Viking Professional suite including an island range, full-size refrigerator, and dishwasher, balancing professional-grade function with warmth and character, with countertops sharing granite from the same slab as the Primary Bathroom. The dining room opens to the exterior terrace through French doors, connecting interior to forest. Every piece of furniture is vintage, designer, or mid-century modern — selected personally by Bennett with the eye of a lifelong collector — and available for acquisition at an additional price. Additional features include hydronic radiant floor heating, a whole-house automatic GENERAC generator, tankless water heater, oversized two-car garage, and superior 2011 construction — all on the market for the very first time. About 35 minutes from Hard Rock Casino, just over an hour to Burbank Airport, 90 minutes from downtown LA, and under 2 hours from Ventura County Beaches, this is a rare opportunity to acquire an architectural beauty.
