The Altamira Ranch is the kind of construction that reveals every man’s dream in Palos Verdes, California, and is kind like a tradition to build this kind of house when you get to achieve the necessary amount of money. This superb property was designed by Marmol Radziner and stretches over 20-acres along the coastline of Palos Verdes, also keeping various memories of childhood camping trips, family picnics and romantic husband and wife sunsets.
Submerging the house reduced the amount of work and also conserved the ocean view for the neighbors. All the natural resources of the place contributed in building and embellishing the residence. Local shale was used for the walls, while the over 30,000 plants were grown and cultivated from genuine California seed.
The guest house was accessorized with sea elements that give one the impression of entering a tidal pool or estuary.
Are you an incorrigible fan of Mother Nature? This property is definitely one of its creations!
