A stunning ocean view Mediterranean villa of exceptional character and quality, this very private estate comprises approximately 2.65 acres of manicured lawns, specimen trees, and impeccable design. While the property can easily welcome hundreds of guests for parties under the stars, it is also exceedingly comfortable for intimate gatherings and the pleasures of daily living. Gorgeous architectural elements, such as arched windows and doorways, unusually high ceilings, 200-year-old beams, clerestory lights, and beautiful wood floors combine to create a luminous and welcoming home in which every window looks out on the magnificent grounds.
Across the towering entry hall are tantalizing views through the dining room to the garden, swimming pool, and ocean. Down two steps is the living room, flanked by a loggia, with a lovely fireplace and glass French doors on two sides. The family room, with floors of limestone tile, opens to a comfortable patio, also with views of the pool and ocean. The adjacent kitchen has a warm, country-kitchen feeling, even as it offers the finest in quality appliances. Complete with island, walk-in pantry, farm sink, and sunny breakfast nook, the room opens to the backyard through a pair of glass French doors.
From the entry, the loggia leads to the bedroom wing, where there are three en-suite bedrooms as well as a fabulous billiards room that also opens to the backyard. An additional en-suite guest/maid’s room is down another hallway.
The owner’s ocean-view sanctuary commands the entire second floor, complete with a spacious lounge, fireplace, large bath, dual custom closets, three balconies, and an office/gym. Plus an enormous office/media room with bath & balcony and separate entrance.
The grounds are every bit as impressive as the home itself, with courtyards, patios, decks, balconies, and enormous lawns offering inviting spaces to entertain or simply reflect on the surrounding beauty. There is a lavender garden at the front of the house, a raised-bed vegetable garden at the side, and an outdoor fireplace and barbecue with a dining area at the back. Huge flagstone pavers lead across the back lawn to the Pebble Tec swimming pool, spa, and generous flagstone patio. A small “beach” is nearby, complete with sand and fire pit. Beyond the pool is a stable, corral, and tack room. Minutes from Zuma Beach, yet miles from the real world, this is truly a legacy estate.
