The San Ardo Compound is a fully renovated desert retreat defined by privacy, craftsmanship, and layered indoor-outdoor living. This 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom residence spans approximately 1,124 sq. ft. and was thoughtfully remodeled by the owners for their own use, with an emphasis on design, quality, and livability. The property is fully enclosed within a secure setting, anchored by a custom iron entry gate and surrounded by mature ficus hedging forming continuous living walls along the entire perimeter creating exceptional privacy and a lush green buffer.
