Designed for maximum outdoor enjoyment, and especially ideal for equestrians, this extraordinary gated estate is comprised of two parcels spanning 12 meticulously cultivated acres. Located on the sought-after westside of the Covenant, this secluded masterpiece harmoniously blends natural materials with a timeless design, strategically oriented toward the scenic southwesterly views. The floor plan easily caters to both grand entertaining and intimate family gatherings while separate bedroom wings, including luxurious guest quarters, can accommodate multi-generational living. No expense was spared in creating this paradise playground which showcases a beach entry pool with water slide surrounded by lush landscaping and complete with a full indoor/outdoor kitchen and dining pavilion, bathroom with sauna, and a lounge area with fireplace and waterfall. Recreational options include a tennis/pickleball/basketball court, sand volleyball, and easy access to the hiking and riding trails. A highlight of this property is the spectacular barn with 6 in-and-out stalls, tack room, hay storage, feed room, industrial laundry facility, full bath, and an Old West style saloon which opens up to the covered patio with BBQ and fireplace - a feature appreciated by both riders and spectators. The horse facilities, which include three pastures and a small riding ring, are accessed by a separate gated drive with easy turnaround for trailers. Seller will entertain offers between $14,250,000 and $15,550,000.
