About this home
Perched above Old Ranch Road in the coveted equestrian enclave of Sullivan Canyon, this Cliff May designed home exudes the integrity and rustic origins of a California Ranch. Like many Cliff May homes, the courtyard mingles with and also creates space between the primary suite and (3) guest bedrooms. Through French doors, each sun-drenched room opens to the tranquil and bucolic grounds canopied by mature sycamores and oaks. Pitched shiplap ceilings, skylights, and terracotta tile floors complete a true gem that is only minutes from the Brentwood Mart and Riviera Country Club.
