The approximately 3,251-square-foot single-level residence offers four bedrooms, three full baths, soaring 18-foot ceilings, elegant Crema Marfil Spanish marble flooring, and a thoughtfully designed split-bedroom layout ideal for multigenerational living, guests, or a private home office.

Recent improvements include a new roof, pool and spa renovation, interior and exterior paint, wildfire-hardening enhancements, smart water leak detection, and numerous system upgrades, providing peace of mind for years to come. Outdoor living takes center stage with a spectacular infinity-edge pool and spa, cascading waterfalls, and multiple vantage points from which to enjoy the estate’s breathtaking views. Master-crafted stone courtyards, pathways, patios, and gathering spaces create a timeless resort atmosphere, complemented by two fire pits, a gazebo, pergola-covered outdoor kitchen with barbecue island, custom redwood bar, and multiple entertaining areas designed for unforgettable gatherings. Recreation abounds with a private pickleball/ badminton/basketball court, while a boutique vineyard and mature orchard featuring citrus, avocado, apple, pear, pomegranate, and tangerine trees enhance the property's distinctive character. A detached guest retreat, approximately 1,053 sq.ft. and RV garage with kitchenette, bath, loft area, and oversized storage offers exceptional flexibility for guest accommodations, a studio, fitness space, workshop, home office, or potential ADU conversion opportunity. Combining privacy, luxury, recreation, and versatility, 3004 Via Donito presents a truly exceptional opportunity to own one of Alpine’s premier lifestyle estates.
