The Rancho Residence
23,000+ SQ. FT.
A midcentury modern oasis nestled between 100-year-old California oak trees, this classic residence pays homage to the Japanese-inspired aesthetic of the great Frank Lloyd Wright. Roof planes of bronze and mahogany seem to float between the brick volumes of the house. A custom brick screen design becomes a signature feature of the home that reveals itself across the property. The home meanders across the property creating and revealing a multitude of unique outdoor living spaces.
Pulling into the driveway, a guard house keeps watch over the entrance to the estate. Upon entering the motor court, the expansiveness of the property is revealed as you look through the great room to the gym pavilion and lap pool beyond. Off of the motor court are three parking spaces covered by a beautiful trellis, and a family garage for four vehicles. The detached guest house off of the motor court doubles as a remote office; just far enough removed from the main house to feel like a private retreat. The main residence is two stories over a full basement. The main floor is laid out for both casual family living and formal entertaining. The combined kitchen and family room is a comfortable space for the family to relax and unwind. The formal living and dining room sits centered in the home with views both across the motor court to the front and through the oak trees in the rear yard. A bar and den create an extension of the formal entertaining space that connects guests to a beautiful sunken fire-pit lounge. On the second level, there are 5-bedroom suites nestled into the canopies of the oak trees; one master suite and four secondary suites. The master suite is accessible through a grand art gallery opening up to the rear yard. The master bedroom faces a sheltered master terrace with its own private fire-pit lounge. The master suite offers a beautiful bathroom from which one enters two separate walk-in-closets. The basement of this home offers entertainment options for all interests. A gaming area and climbing wall are at the center of the lower-level entertainment area. A fifteen-seat theater provides a luxurious in- home cinematic experience while a multi-sport simulator room provides entertainment for those with a more active spirit. In a private wing of the basement is the more relaxing spa features of the house which include a makeup & hair salon, steam room, sauna, plunge pools, and massage room. The perfect retreat without having to leave the privacy of your home. From a service standpoint the property offers space for 5 in-house staff with separate entry, a Kosher kitchen, and on-property parking for two staff vehicles.
From the main house you meander past the main family pool with elevated spa, waterfall, waterslide and baja shelf. Designed as natural oasis, with natural rock-boulders and waterfalls, the pool acts as a counterpoint to the more angular geometries of the home. The pool is flanked by an outdoor kitchen and bar with barbecues and a pizza oven. At the rear of the property is the Pickleball Court and gym pavilion. A 25 meter lap pool doubles as a beautiful water feature backdrop for the Pickleball court. The gym pavilion offers a huge state of the art workout facility. A hidden surprise of this property is the basement of the gym pavilion. This is outfitted with a two-lane bowling alley, billiards & poker room, bar, and a blank space studio which can be a designated space for yoga or perhaps a music studio, buyers choice. This private entertainment level would make any avid sports enthusiast jealous.
This private estate includes 23,000+ square feet of livable space spread across a gorgeous, flat 1.2 acre site. The classic design of the home and 100-year oaks make it feel as if this property has existed for decades. The materials and details of this home add to its timeless quality.
