The primary suite is a true sanctuary, complete with dual spa-like baths, dual dressing rooms, and sweeping views. Outdoors, the estate unfolds into a series of lush garden rooms. Meandering stone pathways connect terraced lawns, rose gardens, fruit orchards, a romantic gazebo, and a charming pond. A sparkling pool and spa are flanked by ocean-facing patios and sun-drenched lounging areas, while hidden corners like the chicken coop and vegetable gardens add soul and self-sufficiency to this one-of-a-kind retreat.
