Pacific Rim Beachfront Estate

This elegant beach home is enhanced by the privacy and quiet of its location between the mountains, a nature preserve, and the sea. “East Meets West” in this Pacific Rim retreat accessed through a 24 hour guarded security gate. This spectacular 4bedroom/4 bath home, completely renovated in l999, exemplifies the very highest quality of taste and workmanship.

Upon entering the motor court, one is awe struck by the wide entry stairs framed by palm trees and floor-to-ceiling double doors that open into an Architectural Digest 60’ x 18’great room with coffered ceilings. The public rooms are comprised of living room and dining room with central fireplace and a lanai room/wet bar with disappearing floor-to-ceiling sliding doors that in turn open onto a trellis-covered deck with outdoor gas fireplace . A fully integrated lighting and sound system provides the pallet for your discerning artistic choice while entertaining or reading/meditating by the fire. Your challenge is to decide whether to sit and gaze at the sandy beach to the south or at the grassy wildlife preserve framed by the colorful coastal mountains to the north.

The large state-of-the-art gourmet kitchen, and adjoining full laundry, provide complete facilities for private, intimate meals or entertainment of extended family and friends--always with an eye to the enticing ocean with seagulls and occasional dolphins at play.

The southerly Master Bedroom and private study face the beachside gardens, jacuzzi and front deck. Antique Indian temple doors provide the outdoor access to the northwest and northeast bedrooms, while the central bedroom/media room has direct beach access by a side deck to the beach. All bedrooms have magnificent ensuite baths with custom fittings, fixtures and cabinetry, and each bedroom is enveloped by atrium ceilings with tropical ceiling fans.

A one car garage, separate ground level recreation room for private children’s or adults entertainment, and a separate private office complete this very private enclave waiting to soothe you with the sound of the waves and nature’s healing powers.
