About This Home

As of March 2025

Drive through the gates, past the stately Oaks and up the winding drive to a bridge across the large pond. Here you'll catch your first glimpse of the beautifully updated mid-century hacienda, with every tasteful detail designed with your unique lifestyle and comfort in mind. New floors throughout, an extensive kitchen redo and designer bathroom updates, plus a powder room addition, are top of the list where custom tile and stone feature prominently. Inside the home, lovely views through every window enhance the relaxed yet sophisticated country lifestyle. Particular highlights include multiple courtyards and outdoor spaces such as the gorgeous pool, water-side gazebo, and fountain courtyard. Work from home in a large office with built-in storage, plus an attached 2-car garage/gym with 3/4 bath. Additional attributes of this spectacular parcel include a private well with 3 large storage tanks, remote solar panels, and a rare 8-car garage for the automobile enthusiast. The park-like setting is yours to enjoy as-is yet still affords plenty of room for horses, grapes, or other interests. For those seeking privacy in paradise with all the modern comforts thoughtfully curated, this could be your dream come true.
