OPULENT KNOLL-TOP ESTATE

3903 CARBON CANYON ROAD

Expansive ocean and island views and lavish amenities highlight this gorgeous, private knoll-top property at the end of a long, gated, palm-lined drive. Large windows, vanishing glass doors, exquisite finishes, and superb quality combine in gracious, light-filled open spaces, all oriented to the majestic views and ideal for indoor-outdoor living and entertaining. The central living area is an open and elegant living and dining room with high ceilings, wide-plank hardwood floors, a stunning full-height matched marble fireplace, and a wall of glass that folds away, opening the space to a shaded portico looking out at the serene backyard and the ocean. The chef’s oceanview kitchen is a study in culinary style, with beautiful cabinetry, marble countertops, a large island with seating, and a large breakfast alcove. This opens to a family room with a fireplace, built-in bookshelves, and foldaway glass doors opening to the portico and the infinity pool. Also on the main level is an office with fireplace and a reading nook; a media/entertainment lounge with a wet bar; and two ensuite bedrooms. Within a stone turret, a curved staircase leads to the lower level, wrapping around an enormous cylindrical aquarium. This level features a high-capacity, fingerprint-access wine cellar; a dramatic billiards lounge with a tray ceiling, full-width wet bar, and exterior turf area; wide-screen movie theater; a recording studio; a large mirrored gym with a ballet barre, a massage room and large sauna. The home’s upper floor has four en-suite ocean-view bedrooms, including a spectacular owner’s suite with dual bathrooms, a reading/office room, large fireplace, sitting area, and a private balcony overlooking the ocean. The grounds of this inspired residence are every bit as lovely as the home itself, with lawns, patios, firepit, outdoor living room, al fresco dining table, fireplace, waterfall infinity pool, enormous pool deck, water feature, built-in sofas, and amazing ocean views. Stone steps lead up the hillside through a landscaped garden and an orchard to a birds-eye-view lookout with tables and chairs, perfect for cocktails at sunset and star gazing into the night. This is a remarkable and romantic contemporary Mediterranean residence. $35,000,000
