The Bixby Ranch House Coxhead & Coxhead, Architects 1887 – 1890 — Perched at the highest point in Bixby Knolls, the iconic Bixby Ranch House stands as one of Southern Californias most remarkable examples of Shingle Style architecture.

Wrapped entirely in hand-laid cedar shingles with gracefully flared rooflines, this three-story masterpiece blends timeless design with commanding presence. Inside, the grand entry hall boasts soaring ceilings and flows seamlessly into a series of dramatic, light-filled living spaces.

The richly detailed billiard room is a showpiece in itself, with imported quarter-sawn White Oak coffered ceilings, custom cabinetry, a stately Emerald Green marble fireplace, and period lighting that exudes old-world elegance. At the heart of the home is the dining room, framed by a monumental bank of leaded glass windows and anchored by the original solid White Oak dining table, all with views of the lush grounds and a magnificent old-growth Magnolia tree. This storied residence has been home to prominent figures, includ
