A welcome retreat from urban life, this palatial estate is nestled into the south hills of Simi Valley. It offers 40 acres of land and 6000 square feet of living space over two homes, surrounded by soaring views. Minutes away from the San Fernando Valley. Designed by renowned Ventura County architect, Charles Ian Blaugrund, the two homes are connected by a 4 car garage, and share a picturesque lagoon-style swimming pool and hot tub overlooking a stately hillside terrace. The dwellings are surrounded with a lush orchard and a large variety of palms, cactus, flowering trees and clusters of rose gardens. The luxurious 4500 sq ft ranch-style home evokes the rustic sophistication and charm of a Mediterranean palazzo. It holds 4 bedrooms and 3.5 baths with a formal living room and dining room, huge master suite equipped with a spa bath, sauna and dressing room. The chef?s kitchen is connected to a dining nook with panoramic view and is outfitted with state-of-the-art KitchenAid appliances, a 5 burner gas stove and a double oven with a warming drawer. The property includes a generous 1500 sq ft guest home, accessible by a separate entrance. It is equipped with 2 bedrooms and large shared bathroom with a soaking tub. The guest house also boasts a full kitchen, cozy dining nook and laundry room. This dream property currently caters to an equestrian lifestyle. Another two acres flat area can be allocated for another structure to expand on the property's current use or to help develop a new direction for potential additional new uses. The grounds include an extra large koi pond, a bird aviary currently housing peacocks, a gazebo and fountain area, sundecks and an intimate fire pit terrace. The wrap around orchards and garden are equipped with a drip system and irrigation lines. The gorgeous lagoon style swimming pool is ideal for entertaining- easily accessed by both the main home and the guest house. A gazebo overlooking the azure water is a perfect spot to host Sunday brunch as well as intimate dinner parties under the stars. The property has a private nature trail, and plenty of room to roam.
