Welcome to a stunning masterpiece of design and cutting-edge technology nestled in the prestigious Graywood Plantation of Southwest Lake Charles. This expansive 8,348 sq. ft., one-owner executive smart home was custom-built in 2016 with the finest materials, reflected in every exquisite detail. Beyond the custom iron gates, a scenic, tree-lined paver driveway leads you to the residence, setting an impressive tone of grandeur. Step inside to soaring ceilings, walls of glass, and striking architectural lines that create a perfect blend of elegance and modern sophistication. The chef’s kitchen is truly a showstopper, equipped with professional-grade appliances, a built-in espresso/coffee maker, and luxurious granite countertops—ideal for gourmet cooking and entertaining guests. The private owner’s suite offers a peaceful sanctuary, while multiple living areas, a home theater, and a dedicated mother-in-law/guest suite ensure ample space and comfort for family and visitors. The 1,063 sq. ft. guest and pool house is an exceptional retreat on its own, featuring a private gym. Outside, enjoy a heated 50,000-gallon pool, a fully equipped outdoor kitchen, and an expansive balcony designed for effortless entertaining with breathtaking sunset views. This home is thoughtfully appointed with sophisticated indoor and outdoor lighting, whole-home surround sound, elegant stonework, an industrial Generac generator, and a comprehensive water softening and filtration system. The raised house pad significantly reduces flood insurance costs to just $1,233 annually. Manicured landscaping surrounds the estate, offering a private resort-like atmosphere.
