The grandeur of the formal entrance is striking: the three-tiered fountain of Cantera limestone, the lush landscaping, the stained-glass framed entry doors. It is only as you tour the entire compound that the sheer genius of the land plan becomes clear. Every bedroom opens to some truly unique outdoor feature, from twin rose gardens to a quiet reflecting pool and magnificent mermaid statue. The swimming pool - one of the very finest in Southern California - is precisely situated for maximum sun exposure during the winter months. And the grounds - so expansive, yet so private - are equally well suited for grand parties or quiet weekends, formal occasions or family retreats.
