One Pelican Hill Drive in California’s elite Newport Beach, is, at 12.47 acres, the largest estate parcel available in coastal Orange County.
This 17,000 square ft. European style villa with materials sourced from Italy, has endless ways to entertain and delight.
The estate has been outfitted with every conceivable state-of-the-art convenience with a tennis court, stable, putting green, pool pavilion and much more.
Less than a mile from the world-class Pelican Hill Resort – with no immediate neighbors, it is a self-contained secluded oasis, private and secure, with panoramic views of canyons, city lights, and Pacific Ocean vistas.
Beyond the gatehouse entry is an elegantly landscaped world unto itself with a cascading lake of over one acre and an organic edible garden. Its sun-blessed slopes are perfect for a vineyard and a wine cave along the lake awaits the Villa’s first vintages.
No detail has been overlooked in the fine custom finishes, including marble and limestone, intricate ceilings, gold leaf, and ironwork.
The lavish home includes both formal and intimate entertaining areas.
The home has both a professional kitchen, and a butler’s kitchen with a china/silver room for keeping utensils in grand style.
Other details include a conservatory dining area, sumptuous guest suites, a wood-paneled lounge with bar and boardroom.
The master wing boasts its own private living and screening rooms.
Basement level amenities include an indoor pool, high-tech theater, gym and sauna, wine cellar, and staff rooms. The 14 car garage is a car collector’s dream.
This ultimate dream home is listed for $55 million with HOM Sotheby’s.
