A masterpiece brought to life, this art collector’s paradise is 13,757 square feet of top-end architecture conceived to highlight the original owners’ museum-worthy collection, accentuating its beauty with daring angles, luxurious materials, and pinnacle-level luxury. Tucked away behind a private gate and circular driveway, bold gestures prevail. A front courtyard with reflecting pool and fountains reveals the vine-covered façade. The stunning foyer with lofted hallways opens to a great room that partners with the huge stone outdoor patio. Dramatic display spaces include a grand gallery with marble staircase, wet bar and skylight, and the slightly more intimate ‘sculpture gallery’ that abuts the regal salon. Enchanting grounds feature lush lawns, creekside trails, a fairytale bridge, even a bamboo forest. This isn’t art imitating life, it’s the art of living life.
