Inspired by the Florentine craftsmanship that flourished at the height of the Renaissance, the almost 10,000-square-foot Mediterranean estate within the exclusive Covenant of Rancho Santa Fe is a perfect mix of elegant European grace and the effortless indoor/outdoor style that defines Southern California living. Set on 3.8 manicured acres, the family-friendly residence features a 30x50-foot resort-style pool, a guest house, and sits directly adjacent to the horse trail. Enter through the gated driveways on either side, where a fountain made from a 16th century limestone baptismal font serves as the centerpiece for this grand manor. With elegantly-curved walls, soaring spaces, French chateau limestone floors, and 9 indirect custom grandiose fireplaces, the extraordinary custom design is assured to fit any taste. The kitchen features top-of-the-line appliances, including a professional Thermador cooktop, 2 Thermador ovens, a Subzero refrigerator, and separate Subzero freezer. Outside, the large patio includes an outdoor kitchen and bar with Viking appliances and overlooks the flagstone pool with 12 Italianate water arches. 7 bedrooms and 7.5 extraordinary bathrooms with exquisite marbles and granites woven into intricate patterns add to the spa-like setting, and provide a peaceful retreat for guests at the end of a long day in the Southern California sunshine.
