Whether you’re grilling outdoors or simply relaxing by the pool, the connection to nature is ever-present.

The interior design focuses on a warm and inviting palette of neutral tones, with stained wood, mixed metals, and custom elements. The great room, with its antique oak ceiling beams and a limestone surround fireplace, creates an ideal space for cozy evenings. At the same time, the adjacent chef’s kitchen boasts waterfall countertops, high-end appliances, and an additional butler’s pantry for storage and prep. The main-floor primary suite offers private access to the outdoor spaces, and its spa-like bath features marble finishes, a soaking tub, and a walk-in shower. Upstairs, a central family room and ensuite guest rooms provide additional spaces for relaxation and family gatherings.
