Unique, One-of-a-Kind Custom Estate on a full and ornately landscaped .80+ acre lot. This amazing home originated from a popular builder plan but then was reimagined and improved from the ground up, making it truly special and unique. The 5 bedroom, 4.5 bath home is 3,950+ square feet of custom craftsmanship designed for an occupant that wanted something singular. Stepping through the front door you are welcomed by rich hardwood floors, a dramatic custom staircase, and a formal living room that opens into a formal dining room. Nearby double doors reveal a private study that easily doubles as a ground floor work area. The kitchen is both utilitarian and artistic, featuring a large center island, a dedicated pantry, & GE Profile appliances such as dual gas convection ovens and a full gas cooktop. From there it opens into a great room with a floor-to-ceiling slate fireplace, high ceilings and oversized arched doorways that let light move freely from room to room. Custom and intricate ceiling fans crown both spaces. There is also a private guest suite on the main floor, complete with full bath and direct backyard access. The property is highly suitable to multigenerational living. A well-appointed laundry room, powder bath, and access to the oversized three-car garage complete the ground level. A luxurious carpeted landing at the top of the stairs leads to an intimate seating area framed by windows overlooking the property. From there a wide hallway leads to two additional bedrooms with private en-suite baths, plus a library with custom built-in shelving and bookcases. The primary suite is a private sanctuary with two oversized walk-in closets, a spa-caliber bath with glass-block walk-in shower, jetted soaking tub, and dual wrap-around vanities. There is an adjoining den with a mantled gas fireplace, built-in cabinetry, vaulted ceilings, and an interior balcony overlooking the great room and ground floor below. Other notable features include copper plumbing, multi level Ac, custom moldings and trim throughout, whole-house sound system, water softener, and much more. The yard features mature and rustic landscaping, gated and dedicated RV/storage with over-sized vehicle access. In addition, masonry walls and large concrete pads are just a few more of the features that make this estate property a truly rare and special opportunity. There is no other property quite like this one in within the city limits.

Lucas Ranch, located between CA-33 and the Newman Community Park area, is a residential and suburban Newman neighborhood with curving newer streets and a calm, open-sky edge-of-town feel. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the CA-33 and Main Street corridor, where small storefronts, taquerias, and everyday services set the town’s pace. Housing reads as modern tract design with tidy front setbacks and garage-forward facades. The landscape stays flat and agricultural at the edges, with long sightlines at sunrise and dusk. Daily routines orbit local schools, parks, and the compact downtown grid. For a change of scene, the city’s community venues and seasonal events gather people in shared public spaces.
