The Art of Living Well

18921 Timber Point Road, Hidden Valley Lake

An extraordinary setting. Architecture that works with nature. A private retreat designed to be experienced.

Some homes make an impression the moment you arrive. Others reveal their magic slowly, through their craftsmanship, the spaces they offer, and the way they connect you with the world outside.

At 18921 Timber Point Road in Hidden Valley Lake, California, both experiences come together.

Positioned on .92 acres, this distinctive custom home built in 2006 offers 3,589 square feet of multi-level living, remarkable mountain, valley, and vineyard views, passive-solar architecture, a detached four-car garage/workshop, and gardens that make the space feel like a private sanctuary.

But the measurements tell only part of the story.

What makes this property memorable is the relationship between its architecture and its surroundings. The sun influences the design. The landscape becomes part of the living experience. Individual rooms offer places for celebration, creativity, and solitude.

Here, luxury is not simply about what a home contains. It is about everything the home makes possible.

Where the Landscape Becomes Living Art

Imagine watching a familiar view become something entirely new every day.

From Timber Point's elevated setting, the outlook stretches beyond mature native oaks toward vineyards, open valleys and overlapping mountain ridges.

Morning fog drifts across the landscape. Afternoon sunlight brings definition to the hills. As summer gives way to cooler seasons, golden tones transition to rich greens.

Each window and balcony offers a different perspective.

The scenery is never fixed. It moves with the clouds, the light, and the changing seasons.

It is a living canvas, with nature creating the next composition.

Architecture With Character, Warmth and Intention

Step inside and discover a home that favors individuality over uniformity.

Cherry hardwood flooring introduces warmth and richness. Wood-clad ceilings give the living spaces an inviting architectural presence, while arched details soften the transitions between rooms.

Natural American Clay finishes add texture and visual depth, responding beautifully to changing light throughout the day.

Lighting has been considered just as carefully as the materials themselves. Statement chandeliers in the entry, dining room and primary bathroom introduce artistic character, while dimmable lighting creates different moods for everyday living and entertaining.

Propane fireplaces on each level offer inviting gathering points when the evenings turn cool.

The result is a residence with a distinct personality—sophisticated yet comfortable, expansive without feeling impersonal.

Passive-Solar Architecture: A Home Designed Around Natural Comfort

One of Timber Point's most meaningful architectural distinctions is its passive-solar construction.

Rather than treating heating, cooling and ventilation as separate considerations added after construction, passive-solar design begins with the relationship between a building, its orientation and the surrounding environment.

At Timber Point, southern exposure and thermal mass were incorporated into the home's design to help capture warmth during cooler months and moderate temperature fluctuations during warmer weather.

The partially earth-sheltered lower level takes advantage of the temperature-moderating characteristics of its construction and surrounding earth.

Above, the open configuration of the main living and upper primary-suite levels encourages air movement and the natural transfer of warmth between spaces.

Throughout the residence, Pella Low-E windows and French doors complement this approach. Operable double-hung windows provide opportunities for natural ventilation and releasing accumulated heat when outdoor conditions are favorable.

An attic fan and a dedicated mini-split in the primary suite add climate comfort designed with energy savings in mind.

Why does passive-solar design matter?

Because the original architecture considers how a home responds to the seasons—not merely how it looks.

Thermal mass, sunlight, ventilation and mechanical climate-control systems work together as part of a broader comfort strategy.

For buyers interested in an energy saving construction, passive-solar homes offer a distinctive architectural approach that is even more relevant today.

At Timber Point, that philosophy becomes part of everyday living.

Nearly 3,600 Square Feet for the Many Ways You Live

An exceptional floor plan provides more than room to move. It gives different activities their own place.

Timber Point's multi-level design creates separation between entertaining areas, quieter private spaces, and rooms that can adapt as your needs evolve.

A generous bedroom currently functions as a full-size gym, making fitness and wellness part of your daily routine without leaving home.

Another flexible bedroom provides a natural setting for a home office, creative studio, library or personal workspace.

The arrangement allows activity and quiet to coexist.

Host a gathering while another part of the home remains peaceful. Work on a creative project without taking over the dining table. Maintain a dedicated exercise space while preserving the home's other living areas.

This is spacious living with purpose.

A Kitchen That Keeps Everyone Connected

The kitchen is positioned at the heart of daily activity, combining functionality with an easy connection to nearby gathering areas.

Abundant cabinetry, refreshed finishes, double ovens, gas cooking, under-cabinet lighting and generous preparation surfaces make it equally suited to everyday meals and entertaining.

Ample storage helps keep the space organized, while its connection to the surrounding living areas allows cooking and conversation to happen together.

And just beyond the kitchen, the outdoors becomes another place to gather.

Take breakfast onto the balcony. Open the doors for fresh air. Enjoy dinner as evening light settles across the valley.

At Timber Point, indoor and outdoor spaces complement one another naturally.

An Entertaining Lounge With a Personality of Its Own

A spacious lower-level den creates an inviting change of atmosphere from the main living areas.

With a wet bar, fireplace and room for multiple seating arrangements, the space is well suited to conversation, music, movies, intimate celebrations, or relaxed evenings at home.

It offers the flexibility to create different experiences within the same residence.

An afternoon with friends can begin in the kitchen, continue onto a balcony and finish around the den fireplace.

Or the room can become your own peaceful retreat at the end of the day.

A Primary Suite That Feels Like a Private Sanctuary

The primary suite is more than a place to sleep.

Its elevated setting and direct balcony access create a personal connection to the landscape, bringing changing skies, treetops and distant ridgelines into the daily routine.

The adjoining bathroom feels like a private spa.

An expansive arched window frames the jetted soaking tub, creating a beautiful setting for relaxation. A separate dual-headed shower, dual vanity, generous walk-in closet, warm wood pine detailing, and statement chandelier complete the experience.

A dedicated mini-split provides another option for personal climate control.

There is room here to slow down, enjoy the quiet and create a different rhythm at the beginning or end of the day.

Three Balconies, Three Distinct Outdoor Experiences

Indoor-outdoor living at Timber Point is not confined to a single deck.

Three separate balconies extend different parts of the residence into the natural surroundings.

The primary-suite balcony offers a more private vantage point for peaceful mornings and evening reflection.

A second balcony connects with the kitchen and main living spaces, providing a natural extension for dining, entertaining and enjoying the distant views.

A third balcony opens from the front living room, overlooking the garden setting and extending above the den/lounge below. With space for rocking chairs and intimate conversation, it provides another welcoming outdoor destination.

Each balcony offers a different experience.

Together, they allow you to follow the sunlight, seek shade, enjoy the garden, or watch the landscape transform throughout the day.

The Secret Garden: A Landscape Designed to Be Explored

The beauty of Timber Point does not end at the exterior walls.

The grounds have been cultivated into an evolving garden retreat, with more than 250 plantings delightfully integrated throughout the property.

Native oaks provide the established natural setting. Beneath them, irrigated terraces, winding pathways, garden arbors, stone features and gathering spaces create an entirely different experience from a conventional landscaped yard.

Flagstone and brick patios provide places to sit and entertain. A stone courtyard becomes another destination. Meandering paths encourage exploration rather than simply moving from one point to another.

The plantings introduce layers of texture, color and seasonal change, with flowering varieties, ornamental trees, and edible plantings contributing to the evolving landscape.

Three heart motifs along the garden path represent love, luck and happiness, adding a deeply personal touch to the setting.

The gardens have been designed to be appreciated from the home's windows and balconies—but their greatest pleasure may be experiencing them firsthand.

Walk the paths. Pause beneath the trees. Discover a favorite place to read, enjoy coffee, or share a meal outdoors.

The next owner has the opportunity to enjoy what has been established while continuing the garden's story.

A Natural Setting Shared With Wildlife

The mature oak landscape creates a setting where wildlife remains part of the surrounding environment.

Deer and wild turkeys frequent the neighborhood, while raptors and other birds cross the open skies above the ridge.

Occasionally, the distant calls of foxes and coyotes become part of the experience.

This connection with nature is one of Timber Point's defining qualities.

You can enjoy the sense of being away from everyday demands without leaving home.

A Detached Four-Car Garage and Workshop With Possibilities

For those who value room for their interests, Timber Point offers another significant advantage: a detached four-car garage with workshop space.

The garage accommodates more than conventional vehicle storage.

It presents opportunities for an automobile or motorcycle collection, workshop activities, creative projects, recreational equipment, and the hobbies that deserve dedicated space.

Additional attic storage helps preserve usable garage floor area.

The long driveway and expansive parking area create further flexibility for vehicles and equipment.

Like the residence, the detached garage was designed using passive-solar principles intended to help moderate seasonal temperature changes.

The building's size and configuration may also inspire buyers to explore possible future uses, including additional living space or accessory dwelling options.

No ADU, JADU or conversion approval is represented. Buyers should independently investigate zoning, permits, utilities, building standards and Hidden Valley Lake Association requirements.

Thoughtful Improvements That Complement the Original Design

Good design is strengthened by continued care.

At Timber Point, the original architectural character has been complemented by improvements intended to support function, comfort, and appearance.

Recent work includes exterior staining and painting, refreshed interior finishes, updated kitchen and primary-bath cabinetry and hardware, decorative lighting improvements, and enhancements to individual living spaces.

The home also features a newer propane fireplace in the den, primary-suite mini-split, attic fan, water-softening system, and reverse-osmosis drinking-water system.

The passive-solar architecture provides the underlying design philosophy, while these systems offer everyday comfort and convenience.

A detailed Seller Improvements, Repairs & Updates exhibit is available as part of the property's disclosure information.
