What's special

Functioning swimming pool

A WATERFALL RUNS THROUGH IT. This is not your typical San Diego home. One of architect Rob Quigley’s early residential designs, this extraordinary property centers around a dramatic waterfall flowing through the heart of the home into a functioning swimming pool. Quigley, best known for designing San Diego’s iconic Central Library, created a residence where architecture, water, light, and indoor-outdoor living become part of the experience. Entertain on a grand scale, create a private wellness retreat, or transform the space into your own Ibiza-inspired escape. Bold, unexpected, and nearly impossible to replicate this is a home designed for someone looking for anything but ordinary.
