About This Home

As of March 2022

Very rare offering! Former celebrity owned private compound. This whimsical 1920's Spanish style retreat offers an amazing amount of bespoke artistic details throughout including five fireplaces, quarried coral, onyx, teak and a sunroom made of rare Honduras Mahogany woods. Restored and upgraded by famed artist/architect Robert DeYoung, this exotic and private property features a main house (2083 sf) plus a two story detached guest house (1356 sf) with a kitchen and living room on the lower level and bedroom, bathroom and patio with treetop views on the second level. The lush and tropical backyard consists of rare and exotic trees and plants in addition to a custom pool in quarried coral spanned by a bridge. In the main house as well as in the guest house, the bedroom suites and breakfast area feature unexpected Mediterranean and Adobe details. Among them are molded walls, stones, alcoves, and open spaces. This once in a lifetime custom art home is not to be missed!
