This extraordinary home manages to do the impossible: it offers over 17,000 square feet of architectural brilliance while maintaining incredible warmth and intimacy. While the scale is undeniably grand, the floor plan is a masterclass in human-scale design, prioritizing an unhurried flow and everyday livability. From the moment you arrive, the imported Spanish railings and brick-and-granite façade establish a sense of enduring quality, yet the layout ensures that the first impression is as inviting as it is stately. The brilliance of the interior lies in its intentional proportions. While the formal spaces command attention with soaring 20-foot ceilings and towering walls of glass, the home never feels cavernous. Rich Brazilian Cherry hardwoods anchor each room, creating a grounded atmosphere that balances the dramatic volume of the formal living and family rooms. Here, the architecture invites natural light to fill the space, ensuring that even the most impressive rooms feel airy and inherently comfortable. The primary suite is a true sanctuary, spanning over 1,750 square feet to offer a private wing for total decompression, complete with a sitting area and a spa-inspired bath including a steam shower, dual vanities & deep jetted tub. A grand beautiful office overlooking the front yard greets you just off the foyer. At the heart of the home, the kitchen and family room transition seamlessly for a layout designed for true connection. Though equipped with premium appliances for serious entertaining, the space remains centered on daily life, featuring a generous breakfast room and a built-in coffee station for slow mornings. Thoughtful touches like a fireplace in the mudroom—one of five throughout the estate—ensure that even utilitarian transitions feel cozy. This wing also includes a dramatic two-story library, topped by a dedicated art gallery that keeps the home’s creative spirit visible and accessible. The upper levels prioritize the luxury of space and privacy, connected by extra-wide hallways that make moving through the home feel effortless. Each secondary bedroom is a full suite with its own private bath, and three feature granite balconies for private outdoor escapes. Practicality is woven into this grand design, with laundry facilities on all three floors and an elevator to simplify the logistics of daily life. The lower level defies expectations of a basement offering a bright, open-concept wellness and entertainment hub that feels like a private club. A 960-square-foot professional gym anchors the wing, sitting alongside a full spa with a sauna and steam shower. With direct access to the private inground pool, the transition between indoor wellness and outdoor recreation is seamless. Between the wine cellar, media room, and multiple recreation spaces, the floor plan provides an intuitive flow for both large-scale hosting and quiet family indulgence. Perhaps the most comfortable aspect of this estate is the peace of mind provided by its forward-thinking infrastructure. A sophisticated geothermal heating and cooling system paired with solar panels allows the home to operate with incredible efficiency, keeping average monthly utilities under $300. It is a rare achievement to find a residence that offers the grandeur of a palace with the manageable footprint and sustainable ease of a modern home. This is a generational statement built for legacy, where every square foot is designed to help your life unfold with total ease. *** Fully Inspected Elevator Shaft in Place - Elevator to be installed prior to settlement
