Fully gated and completely private one-of-a-kind estate on over an acre featured in Vogue, Lonny and the Zoe Report. The property includes an expansive, light-filled five-bedroom main house, a two bedroom, two bath guest house, large storage structure and incredible grounds. Interior design work done in 2017 by a designer whose work has been featured in Martha Stewart, Real Simple and Town and Country. Once you enter through the gates, you will be greeted by a long circular drive flanked by mature citrus and palm trees and flowering shrubs. The entry to the main house has handmade Moroccan tile flooring and opens to expansive double living room with 12-foot vaulted ceilings, dining room and breakfast area/reading nook with French doors to the front garden. The large kitchen features high-end stainless-steel appliances, custom butcher block counters and an enormous walk-in pantry. Four good sized bedrooms grace the first floor. One of them is en-suite with an exquisite Moroccan bathroom and its own entry. Up stairs laid with handmade Saltillo tile you will find an enormous primary suite with tranquil tree top views. The separate guest house has an open kitchen and its own washer and dryer. Outdoor amenities are almost too numerous to mention: saltwater pool with new energy-efficient equipment, vegetable garden with raised beds, pen for chickens, geese and ducks, lovely pond ready for Koi, built in pizza oven, grape vines, fig, almond, lime, kumquat and mulberry trees among many others, and multiple spaces for entertaining, meditation or just enjoying the fresh air. Close to everything, including award-winning schools, while feeling like you are on an old country lane.
