About this single-family home
First time on the market, a property with a pedigree! Wally Cunningham architectural design, custom built by Weir Brothers in 1997, with interior furnishings by Roy McMakin in collaboration with the owners, both modern art enthusiasts and collectors. The project took over 5 years to complete with finished materials hand crafted by artisans on site to create a truly unique and timeless abode. Blending notes of early Spanish-Californian influence, this modern manse spans over 6500 sq ft featuring several detached spaces for privacy and tranquility throughout the expansive grounds. The main building offers a grand entrance pavilion with a formal living room and fireplace, formal dining room, wine cellar, Chef's kitchen and family room. The generous primary suite with a sitting room, dual baths and dressing area is a spa-like retreat. Two additional oversized guest rooms with verandas complete the first entry point building. The second building is sited on the next tier of the natural topography. The owner developed this area as his private executive home office. The space is accented by floor to ceiling glass walls and doubles as a pool house with full bath nestled into the gently sloping terrain and a series of columned pathways. The 17,000 gallon lap pool is quietly nestled into the natural site with Ipe decking and shading from the surrounding majestic pine trees. At the top of the site elevation, guests will enjoy a fully appointed guest house and kitchen with private entry and parking spaces. (see supplement) Further appointments include a 3-car garage with Tesla charger and Generac Battery Walls, Solar discreetly tucked into the new flat roof parapet walls, a gardener's working shed and inner courtyards including a convenient herb garden next to the kitchen. The entire 4 acre setting is enhanced by over 150 mature trees, secret gardens and meditational areas. This timeless architecture is thoughtfully preserved through a series of connecting courtyards and walkways to discover artful interiors along the way. Truly one of the best locations in the Covenant of Rancho Santa Fe, Wally Cunningham's design is reminiscent of his mentor, Frank Lloyd Wright and their respective homage to the delicate balance of architecture and environment.
