Appearing very much like a verdant winery manor, this two-level villa was built for alfresco fun and comfort in mind. Situated in the exclusive Covenant of Rancho Santa Fe, this romantic estate basks in Southern California's year around sunny climate. With dozens of windows to capture the area's Florentine light, this elegant home is idyllic in its ultimate privacy and quietude.Only minutes from Interstate 5, it is close enough to the Pacific Ocean to feel cooling breezes waft in through telescoping glass doors, which lead immediately to a fabulous entertainment zone highlighted by a spacious super-sized pool, custom outdoor kitchen that is complete with stainless steel outdoor BBQ appliances and granite countertops. Convenient to the custom mosaic tile pool is the detached resort sized one-bedroom cabana, complete with bath and kitchen. Nearby (beneath the covered upper terrace with seating for a dozen diners) is a refrigerated wine cellar for 500+ bottles with a built-in climate controlled storage closet for valuable furs. The fully mature landscaping, which rises up a gentle slope from a private road, covers just under three acres and is crowned by tall oasis palms and trellises covered with flowered vines and jasmine. Tucked away is a three-car garage and a covered outdoor fenced dog run (for cats, too). Beyond the circular drive way is a large manicured lawn that can easily be a sports field or future home to rows of vineyard grapes. The sweeping multi-leveled interior is accented with archways, private niches and Roman-style pillars. All lower level spaces, including a refurbished gourmet kitchen (with uber chef appliances) are negotiated over stunning marble tile. The family room is vaulted with wood beams and comes with an audio/visual media center. Upstairs, via a bridged Venetian walkway, there are three bedrooms, an acoustically precise movie theater and office space. It is very much a home that can comfortably contain a large family (within the R. Roger Rowe Rancho Santa Fe school district) or more simply it can be an intimate retreat for a corporate scion and her husband as a second home in California. The lifestyle choices are truly unlimited.
