Tucked behind gates atop a secluded canyon, this newly-constructed Italian Villa showcases grand-scale living spaces and exquisite craftsmanship on par with the great triumphs of classic European architecture.
A circular motor court of hand-laid granite overlooks sweeping canyon vistas, with intricate double gates revealing a serene entrance portico with white roses and Italianate columns. Inside, French limestone floors, soaring vaulted ceilings, and intricate plasterwork speak to the integrity of the home, with dramatic arches and windows incorporated throughout creating a dynamic play of light and shadow and enhancing the natural chiaroscuro of the spaces; a touchstone of the Italian Renaissance masters.
Plentiful French doors throughout the main level’s living spaces open to sweeping terraces for a seamless indoor-outdoor flow, while sumptuous dual great rooms with walnut inlaid floors, solid marble fireplaces, and imported Italian fixtures frame a central corridor flowing to the phenomenal loggia and entertaining pavilion. A magnificent chef’s kitchen showcases custom cabinetry, stacked Wolf appliances, and a large eat-in island, with doors off the breakfast area offering a gracious flow to the gardens. A refined salon with a marble slab bar, formal dining room with an intricate fireplace and private terrace, manager’s office, two en-suite guest rooms, and an elevator complete the main level’s offerings.
At the top of a statement-making staircase, three voluminous guest suites are awash in natural light, boasting generous marble bathrooms, walk-in closets, and canyon-facing balconies. A staggering, 1,700-square-foot master suite reveals a tranquil sitting area with fireplace, elegant molding elevated by soft LED strips, and a sprawling terrace stretching the entire length of the room. Dual marble bathrooms and showroom closets featuring custom cabinetry, large center islands, security cameras, and Solatube light tunnels complete the offering.
An expansive lower entertainment level holds a plush cinema, temperature-controlled walk-in wine cellar, backlit bar with onyx countertops, and a steam shower and dry sauna, with French doors encouraging movement between indoor and outdoor spaces.
Primed for momentous occasions, the home’s substantial outdoor spaces include a dining loggia, al fresco kitchen and fireplace, tranquil garden, and multiple terraces leading down to a zero-edge infinity pool and spa which spills over picturesque canyon views.
