About This Home
As of April 2018Panoramic views to the golf course and mountains are captured from this custom Villa on the 5th fairway, selected by the owners because it was not near a green, a tee or cart path, and for the North view, thus no direct sun in the late afternoon. A beautifully landscaped courtyard leads to the double door entry. Spacious living areas with walls of glass open to an expansive outdoor patio for relaxing by the pool and spa, for fine tuning your putting game, and for living and entertaining at its best. The gourmet kitchen is adjacent to the family room and bar, with easy access to the outdoor built-in barbecue and the nearby formal dining area brings the outdoors inside, as you overlook the courtyard gardens. The master suite is both comfortable and luxurious, with a cozy sitting area and fireplace, and dual vanities and closets. Two guest bedrooms in the main house, and an exceptional guest casita with separate living room and kitchenette is privately accessed from the courtyard.
