This Garden Retreat brings together the comforts of a French-inspired residence & the beauty of an established country estate. Nearly 5 acres in Tenaja, this distinctive property offers lovely gardens, an extensive citrus orchard & remarkable spaces for gathering, creating & enjoying life outdoors.

Nearly 2 yrs of restoration have renewed the grounds & brought this extraordinary estate back to life. Mature oaks shade the landscape, brick pathways wind through established gardens, & expansive lawns connect a collection of spaces designed for entertaining & quiet retreat.

At the heart of the estate is a nearly 4,000-sq ft, single-story residence with 10 ft. ceilings, distinctive French Art Deco alabaster light fixtures & a stately two-sided fireplace which gives the interior a sense of character rarely found in newer construction.

Designed with everyday living & entertaining in mind, the home offers an exceptional collection of gathering spaces, including a living room, formal dining room, sitting room & separate TV room. The kitchen features rich cherry cabinetry, granite countertops, Thermador & KitchenAid appliances & a generous butler's pantry.

The spacious primary suite provides a private retreat with a walk-in shower, jetted soaking tub & generous custom closet storage. Five additional bedrooms provide flexibility for family, guests, offices or creative spaces. Next, step into the gardens & the property unfolds into an experience of its own!

Enjoy an approx. 3,000-sq ft glass-enclosed gathering barn, bar area, additional rooms & storage, with surrounding lawns offer an impressive extension of the entertaining space. Nearby, an approx. 450-sq ft detached flex building offers additional space for recreation, fitness, hobbies or other private uses.

A charming small chapel tucked into the landscape offers a peaceful destination for reflection.
