Nestled in the picturesque enclave of Monte Nido, just ten minutes from Malibu, this spectacular 5-Acre property exemplifies California Mediterranean architecture at its finest. Drive down a secluded road, over a storybook bridge to the entrance, which is guard-gated and extremely private, onto the entry level grounds, which are accentuated by sprawling grassy fields, mature Sycamore Trees and a flowing creek which runs down from the top of the property. Inspired by design found in Montecito and Napa Valley, the property is comprised of seven structures (Main House, Guest House, Pool House, Gym, Recording Studio, Meditation/Massage Pavilion and two 3-car garages). From the motor court, a grand staircase leads up to the formal entrance of the main house. Enter into a gracious foyer, which leads to a voluminous and light-filled main living room featuring walnut floors, a massive chandelier, coffered ceilings, an enormous fireplace clad in Limestone and highlighted by Spanish tiles. Anchoring the main floor is an elegant dining room, a beautifully redone chef's kitchen (replete with top-of-the-line appliances), a state-of-the-art movie theater, a plush family room, which opens to a private outdoor dining patio and fountain. A stunning and sophisticated two-story, wood-paneled library completes the main floor. Upstairs are three beautifully appointed bedrooms, including a luxurious primary suite featuring separate his/hers bathrooms and walk-in closets. The finished lower level offers a huge studio workspace and wine cellar/tasting room. The Kitchen and dining room open seamlessly to a koi pond, outdoor kitchen, dining area and fireside lounge. Walk up to the second level, through the most majestic grounds, replete with lush gardens and waterfalls, where you will find a full gym, a resort-like pool, a pool bath and second guest house. Walk further up, passed the mini vineyard (currently dormant) to the meditation/massage Pavilion at the top of the property, where the views of the hills and the property below are breathtaking. The property also includes (on the lower level) a fully equipped and beautifully redone guesthouse, which has its own kitchen, spacious bathroom and large walk-in closet. And, if that wasn't enough, the property also includes a fully functioning recording studio.
