THE SPACE Once you and your guests step into this gorgeous estate home and take in the spacious, naturally lit beauty, you’ll know you're about to experience an extraordinary vacation. Leave your cares behind as you recline on a comfy couch with a glass of wine, staring into the flames dancing in the majestic hand-cut stone fireplace. Lean back and enjoy the Great Room’s vaulted ceilings, huge wood beams, and magnificent views through the stunning wall of windows and French doors. Or catch a movie or your favorite show on the flat-screen Smart TV.
Ready for a bite to eat? The open design leads you directly into the large, fully-remodeled Chef’s Kitchen, perfect for creating delicious vacation meals, with top-end appliances, cookware, and gadgets, as well as a primo coffeemaker and all the fixings.

When a formal meal is prepared, the adjacent dining room is a perfect place to share time with your family or friends.
On the ground level, you’ll find all sorts of fun in the extra-large game room and bar area—both fully-equipped—including a pool table, ping-pong, jumbo fridge, sleek bar, and chairs, as well as an array of cozy couches for ultimate relaxation. Plus, plenty of board games, an arcade videogame, and an assortment of kids’ games and books. If you or any of your guests need a suitable workspace, we’ve got that for you, too!
