This Piedmont estate marries the soul of a Mediterranean villa with the pulse of modern technology. The residence balances intimate warmth with old-world grandeur. Every room tells a story of global treasure—from a 400-year-old fireplace surround to custom ceilings, Honduran mahogany window frames, and masterful leaded glass. Yet the estate is thoroughly modern, powered by a Savant automation system, Lutron lighting, and backup generator. The home features double-framed walls for acoustic privacy and a seismic foundation of steel-reinforced concrete piers. The kitchen blends custom cabinetry with elite appliances. The primary suite features a vaulted vestibule, French marble fireplace, boutique closets, and heated marble floors. Four additional suites offer equally superior accommodations. Over 2000 square feet of terraces, inlaid with antique Italian tiles, lead to a 70-foot saltwater lap pool and a fireplace cabana. Nearly a mile of walking paths meander through a sanctuary of over 300 legacy oaks, redwoods, and palms, bordered by Indian Creek and sustained by a self-sufficient on-site well and automated irrigation system. Every architectural, horticultural, and structural decision reflects an artful vision. The result is a sublime harmony between house, garden, and nature.
