In the heart of the exclusive Rancho Santa Fe Covenant lies this lush tropical paradise, where serene fountains and flowing waterfalls soothe the soul and boost the spirit at every turn. Set on eight immaculately landscaped acres buffered by a golf course, the awe-inspiring property boasts hundreds of trees and flowers, winding walkways, gardens, a koi-filled lagoon traversed by a custom-made stone bridge, and a magnificent palm court, which can seat 500 guests for a spectacular lawn event surrounded by roses in bloom. An adjacent tennis court can hold an additional 500 guests and an event stage.
Enter the main residence through uniquely designed wrought-iron doors into an open, airy six-bedroom home, where the warm, breezy feel of the outdoors flows from room to room and large windows provide a panoramic view. High ceilings and archways, stone fireplaces, hardwood floors and marble surfaces fill the living, dining and dressing areas. The master bedroom on the ground floor features a master bath with lavish spa tub, sitting area and his-and-hers walk-in closets. An open kitchen, wet bar, temperature-controlled wine closet and billiard room surround the den, and a 13-seat movie theatre welcomes guests with high, padded seats, upholstered suede walls and a performance stage.
Surrounding the main residence are an exercise room, pool and outdoor living area, complete with a fireplace and wet bar. An exquisite European spa exudes regal luxury with multimillion-dollar Italian tile ceiling, floor and wall mosaics, Italian stone fountains, hand-painted murals, marble columns, a private outdoor shower, manicure and pedicure room and tiled Roman bath with fountain.
Aside the property sits a well-appointed guest house, where a 100-year-old Indian door opens to gorgeous, comfortable accommodations, a ceiling made from timbers from a Washington state railroad bridge, antique flooring and a 15th-century French fireplace. A winding path leads below the guest house, where Israeli stone walls with candlelit sconces guide the way into a custom-made bowling alley and game room, complete with two lanes, computer-controlled scoring, custom-wood flooring and hand-carved pub furniture.
Atop the property lie a rose garden, tenant house and garage with hydraulic lift. In all, the residence can garage 10 automobiles and provide valet parking for hundreds.
