Luxury Homes Designed for the Ultimate California Indoor-Outdoor Living

With California’s temperate climate, luxury homeowners have always had the luxury of enjoying outdoor dining and entertaining long before the rest of the country seeks shelter from blizzards and temperatures below freezing – and long after. Architects and designers have used the mild weather – and the breathtaking vistas—to their advantage by creating spaces that blur the lines between inside and out. From formal living rooms that extend into expansive terraces to open-air master bath spaces, below are some of the most lavish hybrid homes Hilton & Hyland offers that are truly the best of exclusive Southern California living year-round.

Makowsky Estate

Indoor-outdoor Nirvana is enhanced by 270-degree unobstructed views spanning from the mountains all the way to the ocean & the incredible Los Angeles skyline in-between. Glass walls in nearly each room of the $250M estate slide fully open to blend the four luxuriously and meticulously curated levels and surrounding grounds seamlessly.

25 Sierra Vista Drive

In addition to its unique dining island surrounded by water, this Rancho Mirage desert oasis boasts open doorways and floor to ceiling glass windows that make every room feel expansive and airy as they lead you into a serene and expansive outdoor lanai complete with a 60 ft infinity-edge pool and spa, dual fire pits, multiple areas for lounging, and jetliner views create an ultimate outdoor experience. Simple, crisp design lines accent this mood, while rich wood details and accents warm up the space.

A Porcelanosa and Miele designed kitchen overlooks the outdoor living area with a large fully-equipped outdoor kitchen. The master suite is adorned with a wall of stone and fireplace and includes a deck with a fire-pit overlooking the Koi pond and a serene view of the expansive backyard and incredibly stunning pool.
