Neighborhood Overview
Mystic Hills is distinguished by its architectural character — Contemporary and Modern-style homes dominate the neighborhood, many featuring walls of glass designed to frame the panoramic Pacific Ocean and valley views that the hillside setting delivers. The neighborhood takes its name from the morning coastal fog — 'the marine layer' — that periodically fills the canyon below while Mystic Hills residents sit above it in sunshine, creating an almost mystical visual effect of fog pooling in the valleys. French Farmhouse and Spanish-style homes also appear throughout.
Lot sizes in Mystic Hills are notably generous — 7,000 to 18,000 square feet is common — providing space for the outdoor living, pool, and landscaping programs that the hillside lifestyle demands. Prices range from $1.1 million for older or smaller properties to $8 million for fully realized contemporary view estates. Proximity to hiking trails and the Mystic Hills area's natural landscape adds significant recreational value for outdoor-oriented residents.
