Rare opportunity to own the iconic Waterfall House, one of San Diego’s most unique architectural residences. Designed for those who love to entertain, this one-of-a-kind property features dramatic indoor waterfalls, soaring 30-foot ceilings, a stunning indoor pool, multiple mezzanines, and seamless indoor-outdoor spaces. Tranquil courtyards, botanical gardens, outdoor lounges, firepit, and a dedicated yoga/meditation stage create an unmatched resort-like setting. A true trophy property that cannot be replicated, offering an extraordinary lifestyle and endless opportunities for entertaining. Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac, this architectural gem—originally designed by architect Rob Quigley—returning you to your childhood where your imagination is unlimited by the concept of interior and exterior. Captivating 30+ ft ceilings and a breathtaking waterfall pool flowing through the home create a perfect space for musicians, artists and entertainers alike. The acoustics rival a concert hall, and the natural light—perfect year-round—enhances its potential as an art gallery. A spacious stage by the pool invites performance, artistic expression, or immersive entertainment, making this home unlike any other. Step onto the expansive deck and take in views from dawn to dusk, while multi-level ceilings fill the space with light and airiness. A private 300 sq. ft. guest house with a separate entrance offers a serene retreat or creative workspace. Known as one of San Diego’s most iconic homes, it has captivated millions, with videos showcasing its visionary design garnering over 66 million views. More than just a home, this is a space where imagination, nature, and artistry merge—where life itself becomes an inspired masterpiece and your dream home awaits.
