About This Home
As of October 2025Welcome to one of Coto de Caza’s most distinguished addresses which now just became the best value in Coto. An extraordinary custom estate in The Woods, one of the community’s most coveted and picturesque neighborhoods, ideally located near the exclusive Coto de Caza Golf & Racquet Club.
Set on a sprawling ~49,860 square foot lot, this magnificent ~12,680 square foot residence was masterfully crafted with steel construction and designed to impress at every turn. A grand semi-circular, dual driveway with a porte cochere leads to an imposing three-story entry crowned by an exterior copper dome, setting the stage for the home's blend of classic elegance and modern luxury.
Inside, you’ll find 6 bedrooms and 11 bathrooms across a truly remarkable floorplan built for both intimate living and grand-scale entertaining. The dramatic family room evokes a two-story European cathedral with soaring ceilings, extensive custom moldings, and a massive fireplace. The formal dining room is equally elegant, complete with its own fireplace for warm, memorable gatherings.
For effortless entertaining, the home features a dedicated game room (perfect for billiards, shuffleboard, ping pong, and darts), a full bar with wine closet, and an independent theater/screening room. The gourmet kitchen is designed to handle events of any scale, featuring an expansive butler’s pantry and separate food prep area ideal for a private chef or service staff.
Additional highlights include three staircases, two full laundry rooms, multiple offices, a dramatic two-story library, and even a separate walk-in vault/safe room. The expansive side motor court with an electric gate provides ample secure parking in addition to the 5-car garage.
Owned solar panels with a 25-year warranty offer modern efficiency, while the grounds are perfectly suited for hosting large-scale events—from weddings and galas to unforgettable family reunions.
This is not merely a home, but an estate that stands apart from all others in Coto de Caza. A rare opportunity to own one of the community’s true showpieces at only $511 per square foot! Don't let this incredible opportunity pass you by!
