Description:

Presenting the highly sought-after West side Covenant location bordering the tranquil and protected river valley sanctuary in Rancho Santa Fe, this extraordinary and highly versatile estate boasts some of the finest detailing available in homes today. Encompassing nearly 13,000 square feet, the custom residence reflects the award-winning talents of internationally acclaimed Bassenian Lagoni Architects, which has infused a masterful design with the authentic ambiance of Spain's breathtaking Andalusia region. Elegant, solid wood gates introduce the sprawling property, which is centered around a 8-bedroom suite, 10.5 -bath main house and a 2 bedroom, 2 bath guest house that showcases an entry foyer finished in hand-chiseled limestone, a huge great room with dramatic 23 foot high trussed beam ceiling and solid walnut wood floors and cabinetry, game room, formal dining room, parlor and office, each with its own fireplace. Ideal for entertaining and culinary endeavors, a magnificent kitchen is crafted with a walk-in island, convenient prep kitchen, auxiliary catering kitchen, multiple pairs of Viking appliances, and an outdoor cooking island. The main level with no stairs is home to an opulent multi-room master suite that pampers homeowners with a wet bar, oversized custom closets, and a lavish bath with 2 steam showers, spa tub, and fireplace. Equally impressive, the dynamic lower level reveals a dine-in wine cellar, state-of-the-art 10-seat Movie Theater with snack bar, and bedroom suites that open to gorgeous waterfalls and many outdoor fireplaces. An inspired design passionately fuses the past and present to dramatic effect with carefully selected details including solid walnut floors and cabinetry, etched and tumbled Italian travertine, intricate mosaic floors, solid alder interior doors, and vanishing slide-away doors that fuse indoor and outdoor living spaces. Further refinements are led by Smart Home technology, solar electric power and pool heating, a Lutron lighting system, multiple heating and cooling systems, a security system with motion sensors and closed-circuit cameras, interior/exterior music systems in every room, and flat screen tvs throughout. Picturesque grounds are accentuated by intimate patios and verandas, colorful landscaping, splashing fountains, and a newly built, highly refined equestrian facility featuring a 4-stall barn with vaulted wood ceilings, turnouts, tack room, groom's quarters with laundry facilities, riding arena, hot/cold water wash racks, and feed and storage garage. Christened Casa Bonita del Rio, this extraordinary estate is complemented by a private membership to the esteemed Rancho Santa Fe Country Club, the brand new award winning K-8 school of Rancho Santa Fe and is conveniently located near the equestrian trail systems and large equestrian center, beaches, shopping centers, abundant recreation, and a host of fashionable restaurants.
