LANDMARK MID CENTURY MODERN ESTATE! Designed by Master Architect Russell Forester for visionary entrepreneur Robert O. Peterson, founder of Jack in the Box, this exceptional c. 1965 Mid-Century Modern estate is being offered for the first time in over 24 years. A quintessential example of Post and Beam architecture, the residence showcases Forester’s hallmark minimalism, clean lines, and seamless integration with the surrounding natural environment. Nearly hidden from view in the coveted La Playa/Wooded Area of Point Loma, this exceedingly private 1.69-acre family compound includes four structures: the Main House, Pool House, Guest House, and Guard House—all thoughtfully unified by tranquil water features, mature plantings, and masterful landscape design. At the heart of the estate lies the pièce de résistance: a breathtaking Koi pond with resident wildlife, a picture-perfect Japanese teahouse, and meandering garden pathways designed to inspire peace and reflection. Perched atop a private promontory, the property commands panoramic 180° views of the Bay, Ocean, and City Lights, offering a rare blend of serenity and proximity—minutes to the San Diego International Airport, world-class yacht clubs, fine dining, and cultural destinations. Amenities include: Private Pool, Spa, Gym, Sauna, and Steam Shower, illuminated Tennis/Sport Court, Basement-level Wine Cellar, Four-car Garage plus off-street parking for six additional vehicles, Owned Solar and an Urban Farm with Greenhouse and Aviary. Recognized at the National, State, and Local levels for its Architectural and Historical significance, the property enjoys substantial Property Tax Savings through the Mills Act. Timeless in design and rare in provenance, this is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own a storied piece of San Diego History. More than a home, this is an Architectural Retreat, a Wellness Sanctuary, and one of San Diego’s most iconic Private Estates.
