2736 Ortega Road
Experience the ultimate blend of rustic Craftsman elegance and 21st-century independence. Perched on over two acres with sweeping mountain and valley views, this one-of-a-kind estate—meticulously crafted by a master builder—offers exceptional comfort, security, and self-sufficiency. Thoughtfully upgraded for modern living and peak performance, the home features dual solar systems with approximately 27 panels working in tandem to deliver a rare revenue-neutral energy profile. Enjoy year-round comfort with central air conditioning, a newly installed whole-house fan designed to capture refreshing mountain breezes, and a tankless water heater for on-demand efficiency. A Generac whole-house backup system ensures uninterrupted power, while a fire sprinkler system adds peace of mind. Professionally installed artificial turf in both front and back yards provides a lush, low-maintenance landscape year-round. Inside, a dramatic 21-foot entry welcomes you into a warm, refined interior highlighted by natural stone, reclaimed barn wood ceilings, and European oak flooring. The open-concept main level showcases a chef’s kitchen with striking Rocky Mountain granite, a hidden butler’s pantry with wine storage, and a cozy living area anchored by a wood-burning fireplace. A convenient downstairs guest suite with a private ensuite bath is ideal for visitors or multi-generational living. Upstairs, the primary retreat features a private balcony with panoramic valley views, dual vanities, and a spa-inspired bath. Two additional bedrooms and a full bath offer flexibility for family, guests, or a home office. Custom Edison bulb fixtures and LED staircase accents add distinctive character throughout. Step outside to a resort-style setting designed for both relaxation and entertaining. The covered outdoor living area features ceiling fans, a 65" TV mounted above the fireplace, and a built-in beer tap—perfect for hosting. Additional features include an outdoor BBQ island and fire table with polished concrete countertops, a custom crane-placed boulder waterfall, a 4-hole putting green, a wood-burning fire pit, and a fully enclosed professional-grade dog run. Mature fruit trees—including grapefruit, orange, lime, and apple—enhance the property’s charm and provide a touch of orchard living. As the sun sets, the property transforms into a nighttime showcase, with professionally designed LED lighting illuminating the tree-lined entry and artisan stonework. The fully fenced grounds offer exceptional privacy, featuring a custom stone and paved entry with infrastructure in place for an automated gate. Additional amenities include a 3-car garage with epoxy flooring and custom cabinetry, a whole-house water purification system, and multi-zoned acreage suitable for recreation, privacy, or equestrian use. More than a home, The Ortega Road Lodge is a private sanctuary designed for those who value luxury, independence, and peace of mind.
