Tranquility best describes this spa inspired oasis in the desert. Strategically positioned upon 1.19-acre cul-de-sac lot, with north/south exposure. This Mediterranean masterpiece is graced with elements and influences from around the world. With just over 6,000 square foot, this single-story home is anchored by an indoor atrium, which provides a source of light and energy that radiates throughout the property, providing a simple sense of peace and harmony. Timeless, under-stated accents highlight the home, from the Austrian crystal chandeliers to the custom commissioned fireplaces and water features. Current, clean lines capture the true beauty in simplicity, and create an international influenced masterpiece. A classic 3-tier hand-carved fountain greets guests upon arrival. The Moroccan inspired entrance boasts massive hand carved doors, created from 100-year-old Burmese Teak wood, and twenty-three hand-carved Andhi Mable pillars graciously accent the exterior and interior of this luxury home and provide indoor and outdoor continuity. The kitchen is a chef's delight and flows effortlessly into the great room and is adjacent to the dining room. The fully hand-carved reclaimed Burmese Teak Island base is a significant piece of artwork unto itself, and it is accentuated by a floating ceiling that is back lit for ambiance. The second serving island hosts a breakfast bar for easy entertaining and extra prep space. Extensive custom cabinetry, enjoy inlaid marble and natural stone that grace the counters and back splash and as expected, top of the line appliances, complete the presentation. Egyptian Galala Marble was used to replicate a famous French Antique fireplace and it serves as the focal point for the dramatic gathering room. A bank of French doors provides an abundance of natural light and easy access to the covered patio, outdoor gardens, and courtyards. The master retreat features an exceptional ceiling treatment that sets the tone for this relaxing space, with Burmese teak wood coffer that is intricately carved, capturing the differences in 100-year-old wood beams that were reclaimed to make this replica of Temple Ceiling, now found in one of the top hotels in India. There is easy access to a private patio, with a fireplace, which overlooks the garden. Generous his and her closet spaces, dual water closets and vanities with Onyx counter space are the perfect accouterments to the monolithic block of marble that was hand-chiseled, hand-carved, and hand-polished to create the one of a kind soaking tub. The forward thinking and flexible design lends itself to endless possibilities and options; everything from grand entertaining to intimate gatherings - and it can easily accommodate multi-generational living or in home help. With three exceptionally generous en-suites, an expansive executive office, a formal living and dining room, a music room as well as an in-home gym complete the practical side of day to day living. As a bonus, there are separate guest quarters tucked away off the backside of the house that can be enjoyed in many ways. There are 6.5 separate garage bays, with plenty of room to further expand, for the car aficionado or the toy collector. There is a spectacular courtyard to the east of the home with a fountain and additional land with ample space for a full-size tennis court, sport court or guest house. The use of Vaastu principles of ancient Indian architecture, were the cornerstone in creating an overall harmonic home that is practical, pristine, and truly a "one of a kind" estate.
