From the lushly landscaped grounds and private infinity-edge pool with hot tub and cold plunge, to the open-air stainless steel kitchen by Kalamazoo and dual alfresco lounge areas, every inch of the exterior was designed for both celebration and serenity. Tropical gardens and soaring palms form a green cocoon of privacy while offering unobstructed ocean views that stretch to the horizon.Inside, soaring ceilings and wide-plank chevron oak floors lead you through a gallery of European-inspired luxury. Floor-to-ceiling glass doors open to create united indoor and outdoor spaces, blurring boundaries between architecture and nature. A grand formal living room is framed by Ebony Macassar and Thassos stone, opening to an expansive deck ideal for sunset entertaining. A statement fireplace anchors an outdoor dining area set beneath the stars, wrapped in tall bamboo for ultimate seclusion. The chef's kitchen, inspired by the famed El Bulli restaurant and designed in collaboration with culinary innovator Juan Carlos Ramos, features bespoke cabinetry and Wolf & Sub-Zero appliances. An elegant dining room seats up to 25 guests, flanked by French doors and ocean breezes. Upstairs, the showstopping primary suite is a sanctuary of light, warmth, and view. Vaulted ceilings with exposed beams and a sculptural wood fan crown a space anchored by a sleek fireplace and floor-to-ceiling doors that open to a private balcony. Enjoy watching your best films with a full screen projector and surround speakers. Herringbone floors echo the craftsmanship throughout, while a spa-worthy bath with copper double slipper tub and steam shower completes the retreat. A second primary suite mirrors the luxury, with retractable glass walls and a private terrace with rooftop jacuzzi.
