The property consists of 2 parcels that include a gorgeous separate guest with a view of the pool/spa, a catering kitchen, gym, tennis court and a cabana with 2 half baths. The property encompasses approximately 61,000 sq. ft. of grounds that are impeccably manicured with a formal rose garden and private "Zen Garden" with a look out point for amazing views. The "Secret Garden" is below the main portion of the grounds and consists of meandering trails that ultimately lead to a children's paradise with play house, play equipment, a rope climb and archery range. There is a look out bench along one of the paths with lovely views of the sunset. This Mediterranean style villa reflects luxury and elegance at its finest. The main home features 5 bedrooms, 6 baths and 3 fireplaces. The gracious formal entry leads past beautiful arched wood doorways to the living and music rooms. Under the staircase is a powder room designed by Roy Disney. The formal dining room has built-in cabinetry, a spectacular chandelier and entry to the conservatory with majestic view of the city and grounds. The custom built kitchen cabinets display craftsmanship at its fines and features granite counters, a center island with a 2nd sink and 2nd dishwasher.
