Where Are We?On this breathless drive through the canyons and cusp of the mountains, it?s easy to be confused. First we pass by a few luxurious ranches with palominos munching grass. Right after that, a Tuscan villa looms on a knoll, acres of vineyards surrounding it. The hills of Italy? A Spanish countryside?As we make the final turn, past a stunning row of olive trees, we find our answer ? we?ve reached perfection --- and only those with a passion for beauty may enter.To be precise: nearly six acres of perfection, surrounded by the Santa Monica Mountains. Past the hand-carved gate are the eight garages, four on each side of the curved drive. The main entrance is through a 20? stone and brick tower, which dominates the front of this estate. Once inside, a series of arches leads to a great room, dining room and family room, each end holding massive, floor-to-ceiling fireplaces. Superior craftsmanship is evident everywhere, from the stone floors to the massive iron chandeliers, to the marble and copper sinks. A professional kitchen: Viking appliances, 7-foot island, custom cabinetry and two farmhouse sinks, lies adjacent to these rooms. Just beyond the kitchen door is a row of fruit trees, ready for the evening pie: apricot, persimmon, nectarine, peach, plum, cherry, etc. All of these rooms look out to the zero-edged, beach entry pool, spa, outdoor-kitchen and several seating/ lounging areas. The master suite dominates the other end of the main floor, with two walk-in closets, floor to ceiling fireplace and a bathroom big enough to dance in. A stunning claw-foot tub sits next to a large window overlooking the mountains. Upstairs are three large bedrooms and 2 baths, all with hardwood floors and impeccable views.Did we mention the maid?s quarters, with a separate entrance? Or the lower level, with a glass wine cellar and media room, with 17 plush, adjustable- seats, rivaling any of the newest luxury theaters? Let?s also not forget the land devoted to sports, with lighted basketball and sand volleyball courts. The list is endless, but one thing is certain. Where we are is where you?ll want to be --- forever.
