Behind the private entry gate of this luxurious estate, you will discover one of the finest and most unique properties in all of Talega. Set on the hilltop on a massive lot at the end of the cul-de-sac, overlooking a large green belt with views out to the ocean over the hills, it is an elegant old-world Tuscan dream come true. Acquired by the current owners from the builder, this home has never before been offered for sale. The masterfully designed grounds are an entertainer's dream come true: fully-equipped outdoor kitchen, pool with beautiful fountains, spa, gas fire pit, a private interior courtyard, and a loggia that's perfect for year-round dining. Sufficiently sized to easily accommodate large dinner parties, its layout is ideal for intimate gatherings, as well. The grandest of vacation dreams will now be realized by taking just a few steps... The carefully upgraded interiors are comfortable, inviting, and warm from corner to corner. The soaring entryway transitions to a large den, which opens to the interior courtyard and loggia, and to the dining area - which has direct access to the interior courtyard and loggia, as well as to the outside kitchen and pool area. The kitchen has been upgraded in a fashion to be of supreme value to even the most accomplished of chefs, is completely open to an additional dining area, and then to the living area which has three full-height patio doors to maximize indoor-outdoor living. Right off the entry patio is a separate entrance to the casita, perfect as in-law quarters, for guests, a private office, or more. Its 3/4 bath is en-sui
