PRIVATE ESTATE. A rare and refined masterpiece, this gated Italian Tuscan Villa, gracefully set atop 3.07 private acres in the coveted Santa Monica Mountain enclave of Encino, defines timeless European elegance fused with California sophistication. Hidden behind a grand 450-foot private driveway, the estate unveils itself like a secluded resort, offering absolute serenity and sweeping panoramic views of rolling canyons by day and glistening city lights by night. Crafted with uncompromising attention to detail, this approx. 7,500 sq ft architectural estate offers an elevated lifestyle of luxury, scale, and design. The dramatic foyer, crowned by soaring ceilings and anchored by a magnificent curved staircase, opens to luminous living spaces enriched with walls of glass, bespoke finishes, and richly appointed textures throughout. The formal living and dining rooms flow effortlessly beneath voluminous ceilings ideal for grand-scale entertaining or intimate evenings. A professionally equipped chef's kitchen stands at the heart of the home, featuring custom cabinetry, premium appliances, generous prep areas, and seamless access to indoor/outdoor spaces designed for elevated entertaining. The main residence comprises four luxurious bedroom suites, each with its own ambiance and privacy, complemented by five spa-inspired baths. A stately wood-paneled library, dual family rooms (on both levels), and multiple private terraces offer spaces to unwind, gather, and admire the unparalleled surroundings. Adding to the estate's allure is a fully detached 2-bedroom guest house with expansive terraces, ideal for extended guests or multi-generational living. A separate entertainment pavilion, fully insulated, offers the freedom to indulge in high-volume media or private events without disrupting the tranquility of the main or guest residences. True to the essence of a world-class retreat, the outdoor grounds are a sanctuary of beauty and function: custom-designed stamped hardscape wraps around the estate; tropical landscaping and mature forest-like surroundings create an atmosphere of total seclusion; and a massive motor court accommodates 25+ vehicles with ease. The three-car garage, multiple storage rooms, and separate utility areas ensure both luxury and practicality. Indulge in a full complement of wellness amenities, including a private sauna, oversized jacuzzi tub, and a steam shower, evoking the ambiance of a luxury spa. The estate is encircled by thousands of feet of custom-built retaining walls, offering structure, beauty, and enhanced privacy. Minutes from the vibrant energy of Ventura Boulevard, premier restaurants, top-rated schools, and upscale shopping, yet worlds away in peace and privacy, this residence offers the rare balance of seclusion and accessibility. A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own an estate of this scale, distinction, and provenance in the heart of Encino.
