These were the highest-priced home sales reported in Southwest Riverside County, California for the week ending November 1, 2026, and together they totaled $9.95 million. Four of the five were in Murrieta and the other was in Temecula. The homes were built over a span of half a century, and on several of these properties the pools, garages, guest quarters and outbuildings are as much a part of the picture as the main home.
No. 1 — $3,050,000 · 36690 Calle De Lobo, Murrieta, California
The week’s highest-priced sale was a single-story Mediterranean estate on five acres in Murrieta, which sold for $3,050,000.

The great room opens through sliding glass doors 10 feet wide to a California room finished in travertine, with a fireplace and built-in cabinetry. Inside, there is a private office with a custom desk and its own door to the outside, a game room and lounge, and a piano room with a stacked-stone wall and cabinetry fitted with Italian hardware. The kitchen has granite counters and upgraded stainless steel appliances, and fireplaces warm the living room, the family room and the primary bedroom.
Outside, travertine decking surrounds a heated saltwater infinity pool with a waterfall, stacked-stone detailing and a Baja deck, along with a spa. A cabana kitchen is equipped with Twin Eagles stainless appliances, among them a pellet grill, and an Alfa pizza oven from Italy. Robert Taft & Associates designed the landscape and hardscape, with paver walkways and a paver driveway, an automatic iron entry gate and custom uplighting. The grounds also have mature trees, among them multi-trunk olives, Italian stone pines and date palms. From the property, the views take in the mountains, the valley, the surrounding hills and the city lights at night. A 42-panel solar system on the roof is paired with two Tesla Powerwall batteries, and the community has horse trails. The property last sold for $1 million in 2018.
