LA BASTIDE DE L'ORANGER - Take a trip to the French Countryside with this luxurious 5,507sf magnificent Provencal style manor sitting on over two acres of divine grounds, including an expansive citrus grove and picturesque terraces. Completed in 2006, built from hand-selected, hand-made and imported exquisite French materials and artifacts, the home was designed to replicate a 17th-18th century Bastide French Provencal home. Experience the beauty as you enter the private circular drive. Listen to the pleasant harmonies of the birds along with the calming sound of the entry fountain. Ascend the limestone stairs, cross the stone terrace, and approach the solid hand-crafted Walnut doors. The interior of the home is open and spacious with no hallways, but rather a dramatic center foyer and a 2nd-floor landing with wrought iron sconces. Look up and see the French Regency lantern chandelier. Custom crown moldings on the 12’ ceilings vary for each room. The fireplaces are elegant and finished with stone mantelpieces. The fireplace in the family room is made of Normandy bricks from a French farmhouse. The separate, intimate dining room has a barrel sky-blue ceiling and doors to the front terrace. The living room has a stone-trimmed arch entry and lots of light as do all rooms. Stunning custom cabinetry can be found in the private library with room for thousands of volumes. Continue to the Chef’s kitchen with honed stone counters, hand-formed ceramic tiles, a large preparation island with sink, and a La Cornue stove that creates an impressive focal point flanked by two antique stone column corbels. One lovely bedroom with an ensuite completes the downstairs. Upstairs are three bedrooms in total. Two are family bedrooms with ensuite baths and walk-in closets. The enormous master suite has an 18th-century fireplace, a generous dressing area, and a separate retreat. The master bath has an incredible solid rose marble bathtub with matching sinks. Exterior grounds include a gorgeous pool and spa, a Greek temple-style pool house with ¾ bath (great mother-in-law quarters or ADU opportunity), a limestone porch, a built-in BBQ area, and a shaded patio for entertaining. Oversized 3-car garage with direct home access. Golf cart distance to Redlands Country Club. Truly a spectacular and prestigious estate in a precious South Redlands location.
