Situated just steps from the sand, the home includes six bedrooms and 8 1⁄2 bathrooms to ensure privacy for every member of the family (plus all of your lucky visitors). An 800-bottle refrigerated wine cellar plus an ocean-view kitchen equipped with Dacor appliances, dual Sub-Zero refrigerators, a whopping six freezers and marble countertops teamed with copper sinks will delight the gourmand in the group, while a gym with its own full bathroom and steam shower will please fitness junkies. Imported details, from antique doors to iron entry gates, were thoughtfully sourced from France, and the lush landscape outside—where orange, lime, persimmon, berry and papaya trees dot the grounds—equally evoke a vacation state of mind. Finally, a stunning pool and spa offer views of the crashing waves nearby to make all of your California dreams come true.
