The top level offers a private guest retreat with an en suite, kitchenette, library, dedicated workroom, and large walk-in closets. The terrace level serves as an entertainer’s paradise, boasting three en suite bedrooms, a 1,500-bottle wine cellar, a private massage room, an exercise room, and an aqua therapy suite complete with sauna, soaking tub, and steam shower.
The seamless flow between indoors and outdoors is defined by curated grounds featuring a main level gracious courtyard with an arbor, a gazebo overlooking a tranquil fish pond with cascading waterfalls, a private hot tub, a dedicated putting green, and a dramatic fire-pit terrace.
