Designed for both executive living and large-scale entertaining, the home offers four kitchens, two laundry rooms, and expansive gathering spaces. A fully realized wellness and recreation level includes heated floors, sauna, change room, powder room, and a spa shower with direct access to the patio and grounds. Additional amenities include media and games rooms, a home gym or nanny suite, and a dedicated space for a customized secure room. Outdoors, the resort-style setting features an in-ground pool, a covered loggia with outdoor kitchen and fireplace, and multiple areas for dining and relaxation. The expansive grounds offer mature plantings, privacy, and space for recreation. Parking accommodates 15+ vehicles, including a three-car garage with lift-ready capability. A rare offering defined by scale, privacy, and refined design in one of the region's most dominating golf course/luxury pockets.
