scale and beauty of this space, like the courtyard, are sources of elegance
that further frame the home as a true estate.
A ranch of such beauty, and one located in such a treasured spot,
demands that a certain amount of entertaining take place. Features that facil-
itate this include two enormous motor courts for parking, and a lower level
of the home, approximately 1000 square feet of additional space that can
be transformed into a movie theater or other gathering place. The courtyard,
too, can be quickly converted to a festive party zone, complete with fresh-air
cooking delights like a grand barbecue grill and a pizza oven. Another spot
that's been carefully planned for formal dinner parties is an airy, formal dining
room where the ceiling is framed in aqua tile and
custom studded in Western details; directly adja-
cent, a completely stocked second kitchen adds
to the ease of preparing and serving food.
When it comes time to retreat into one's private
space, there's a master wing where one finds,
tucked behind carved doors, a sunny, earthen
retreat. The master bath is a glass and tile vision
where a white soaking tub, poised beneath a
window, is where one might lose themselves in
the birdsong and rustle of the trees just outside. The custom walk-in closet
has the feel of a bespoke tailor's studio. The bedroom is thoughtfully elegant,
with a tile-inlaid fireplace, vaulted ceilings and French doors that open onto
roomy balconies where one can pass the time contemplating the ocean or
the pastoral green of the landscape.
"It's subtle elegance," concludes Chhabria. "Its details are very impres-
sive, and the setting and location set it apart from other properties." It's a
rare combination to find: an architectural home with distinguished features
woven through it, set against acres of gently rolling green hillside, and with
ocean views, no less—a refined slice of paradise here on Earth.
