PRICE IMPROVEMENT! Behind the private gates of Rancho Conejo, this Montellano Estate--one of just 24 exclusive residences--offers a rare blend of privacy, scale, and refined California living. Completed in 2016, it represents a newer generation of luxury construction--an uncommon advantage in a market largely defined by older housing. The dramatic great room features stacked panoramic doors that fully retract, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor flow to the California Room and tranquil courtyard--ideal for both lively gatherings and quiet evenings by the fire. At the heart of the home, the gourmet kitchen is a true centerpiece, appointed with premium Thermador stainless steel appliances, an oversized center island, an expansive walk-in pantry, and a butler's area connecting to the formal dining room--perfectly suited for entertaining.Set on nearly half an acre, the thoughtfully designed grounds feel like a private retreat with an outdoor cooking center, raised garden beds, a lush grassy expanse, and mature fruit trees. The main level includes a private downstairs ensuite bedroom, ideal for guests or multigenerational living, along with a dedicated office. Upstairs, a spacious media and gathering room anchors the second level, while the grand owner's suite offers a true sanctuary. The spa-inspired bath showcases a striking book-matched marble slab shower, soaking tub, dual vanities, and an expansive walk-in closet. Enhanced by over $460,000 in thoughtfully selected upgrades--including pre-wired home automation, security and camera wiring, whole-home audio, central vacuum, extensive electrical improvements, a 24-panel photovoltaic solar system, and a three-car garage configuration with a separate single-bay garage--this exceptional residence reflects a level of care and investment rarely found in one of Thousand Oaks' most desirable gated communities.
