Gracefully set beyond the Canyons 12th green and fairway, this Santa Barbara-style estate welcomes you through electric entry gates into a generous motor court surrounded by cantera stone accents, custom water features, and lush meticulous gardens. Sprawling across nearly an acre, this romantic setting leads to double glass doors with custom metalwork, opening into a stunning living room with travertine floors, masonry fireplace, elegant furnishings, and seamless access to outdoor living spaces. An intimate wet bar with wine cooler, refrigerator, icemaker, and custom cabinetry is easily accessed by both the living and dining areas.
The dining room is designed for both intimate gatherings and larger parties, featuring a warm wood table and seating, beveled mirror, and chandelier, with convenient flow to the kitchen and outdoor spaces. The chef's kitchen offers full-size Sub-Zero refrigerators with freezer drawers, Dacor appliances, a 6-burner range, center island with sink and bar seating, Miele dishwasher, walk-in pantry, and an inviting morning room with direct access to the outdoor barbecue. Opens nicely to the family room.
Indoor-outdoor living shines in the family room, where two disappearing walls of glass frame unobstructed views of the green, fairway, and San Gorgonio Mountains. Outside, enjoy resort-style amenities including a large masonry fireplace, multiple lounge areas, infinity-edge pool, spa, waterfall feature, and custom firepit.
The master retreat offers a cozy lounge with fireplace, custom furnishings, electronic window treatments, and direct access to the pool, spa and private terrace. The spacious bath includes dual vanities, garden-view soaking tub, double-entry shower, dual lavs, and generous walk-in closets. A handsome den features rich wood paneling, coffered ceiling, custom cabinetry, and abundant natural light.
Two guest suites provide luxurious accommodations—one within the main residence, with closet and full bath. The detached guest house includes a full bath, morning bar, walk-in closet, masonry fireplace and built-in window seat.
Additional highlights include a 3-car plus golf cart garage with generous storage room, epoxy floors and A/C. Room to add 2nd guesthouse. Unobstructed golf course views, the orientation of this home provides seating to enjoy both sunrise and sunset. Quick golf cart access to Member amenities, such as the Clubhouse, Spa & Wellness Center.
Furnished per inventory, excluding art and artifacts.
