‘Las Cascadas’ … an estate as majestic as its name, ideally situated between breathtaking mountain vistas and unsurpassed ocean views.

The splendor and grandeur of this magnificent three acre estate begins as you enter the classic Mexican gateway and follow the gently curving driveway to the stately motor court.

Constructed as an authentic Spanish-Mexican Hacienda, ‘Las Cascadas’ is unequalled in craftsmanship, artistic detail and design. The craftsmanship and spirit of Hispanic artisans abounds are evidenced by hand sculptured stone, quarried on the estate, imported cantera columns, Saltillo tile, carved stone fireplaces, architectural accents, fountains and expansive terraces.

One passes through the entry archways into the dramatic galleria, to the Sala Grande with hand painted hewn beams, 14 foot ceilings, large carved stone fireplace and an authentic “Cantina”, a fully equipped bar. The gracious dining room, with fireplace, leads out to a covered terrace with expansive views of the gardens, pool and ocean. The gourmet kitchen includes a large butler’s pantry, breakfast room with fireplace and private outdoor dining terrace with BBQ.

The downstairs features a large recreation room, gym, custom designed Home Theatre and Wine Grotto with tasting room and abundance of refrigerated wine storage. The estate includes a separate staff quarters and four car garage.

The grand Hacienda’s doors open on to terraces of cantera stone and private courtyards where jasmine trails on antiqued wrought iron railings, and cascading water relaxes the soul. An old-world aqueduct gently moves water from a courtyard fountain, to a water drop which splashes into a 20’ x 50’ solar heated swimming pool and spa. An inviting poolside Cabana provides for comfortable entertaining.

‘Las Casadas’ …dramatic ocean and mountain views and an undeniable warmth and charm all its own. With the graciousness and elegance of California living at its very best.
