Tucked away in the rolling hills just a few minutes drive from the charming town of Occidental is this stunning & elegant Mediterranean Style Villa set in a beautifully landscaped 6.68 acre estate! Set well back from the private gated entry, you'll travel along a paved, gently curving driveway with mature olive trees to this nature enshrouded Villa! As you near the Villa, one of the first amazing elements of this fine home you'll notice is the raised, arched front entry deck with steps on either side and wide curved front steps framed by large palm trees that lead to the oversized, custom wood front door! The home features many great areas to entertain, share with family or sit privately in solitude. The formal entry has 18 foot ceilings; the living room, formal dining room and family room all feature high coffered ceilings. There is also approximately 900 sf of additional, unpermitted, living space featuring a kids room off one of the upstairs bedrooms and a large game/media/office room with it's own set of stairs from the laundry room downstairs. There is also a small, secret door from the additional kids room to the game/media/office room that the young ones will absolutely love! At the heart of this property is the feeling of privacy, seclusion and nature. This exquisite home is surrounded by lush gardens created and nurtured over the last 25 years by a master English gardener! The patios and gardens surrounding the home lead to a beautiful swimming pool with diving board and hot tub/spa with built-in cascading waterfall! A hand-built pizza oven, private pergola covered patio, private lawn and lush surrounding gardens add to make outdoor living an experience of elegance, beauty and grace! Set on the northerly edge of the estate, the original 3bd 1ba home has been kept and used as an unpermitted caretaker's home with it's own yard and on it's own septic system. Around the estate land there are several outbuildings, carports, a shop building and garden sheds, etc. Covering the grounds is an expansive open meadow, a small established vineyard, 50+ mature and producing olive Trees, various fruit trees and berries!
