Via Cuesta Casa

Set across nine sweeping acres in Ramona’s Highland Hills, this custom residence by Hubbell & Hubbell is a thoughtful expression of timeless design, enduring craftsmanship, and resilience. The 2,828 SF ranch-style estate draws inspiration from the warmth and character of Tuscan and Mediterranean architecture, while responding sensitively to its expansive setting. Panoramic views unfold in every direction, creating a powerful connection between the home and the surrounding landscape.

Inside, a quiet sense of grandeur defines the living spaces. Soaring cathedral ceilings are articulated by exposed wood beams, while strategically placed skylights and expansive walls of windows fill the interior with natural light and frame the ever-changing landscape beyond. The open-concept living areas encourage gathering and connection, balanced by intimate spaces that offer moments of retreat and reflection.

The property was designed to support both everyday living and the freedom of rural life, with a two-car attached garage complemented by a detached garage and shop, providing generous space for vehicles, storage, hobbies, and creative pursuits.

Resilience is integral to the architecture. The home is constructed with insulated composite concrete form (ICCF) blocks by Perfect Block, providing exceptional structural strength, thermal performance, sound attenuation, and a four-hour fire rating. The system is significantly stronger than conventional wood-frame construction, while incorporating recycled materials—100% of the EPS used in the blocks is recycled, and recycled EPS comprises approximately 87% of each block by volume.

True to the Hubbell & Hubbell philosophy, the residence dissolves the boundary between indoors and out. Generous glazing, natural light, and carefully considered connections to the surrounding landscape create a home that feels deeply rooted in its setting—serene, enduring, and quietly refined.
