Property Description
Built in the mid-1980’s, Hacienda Del Bosque has been tastefully remodeled and extensively embellished by the current owner. The approximately one-acre estate rests behind stuccoed walls and is nestled among mature trees and lush landscaping affording utmost privacy.
Entering through the courtyard rose garden, one is instantly impressed by the home’s strength and substance. A grand glass and hand-forged iron entry door and three-foot-thick exterior walls embrace the treasures within the residence. Heavy-beamed cathedral ceilings and lintels over interior doorways, as well as the doors, custom bookcases and cabinets are of Sugar Pine, while Saltillo tile graces the floors.
The traditional floor plan, with rooms off of an extensive central hallway, affords seemingly limitless access to exterior splendor. The sun-filled living room opens to a central portico, as well as through French doors to the pool, in-pool spa and lawn area. The inspiring room also features an antiqued limestone fireplace and a bar with marble counters. Nearby, an office/study with its own full bath and private entrance could serve as an additional bedroom suite.
The guest wing provides a pair of suites with full baths, walk-in closets and access to the rear portico. Guests and their hosts alike will appreciate the welcoming, convivial ambiance of the chef’s kitchen, adjacent dining nook and adjoining cozy den. The kitchen offers Viking Professional appliances, limestone countertops and custom hand-made cabinetry. The dining nook opens to the rear portico, while the den’s restful space is enhanced by built-in bookcases and a warming fireplace. Close-by, a versatile studio and full-bath suite could be used as an additional office or bedroom, or for staff quarters.
The lavish master suite – occupying the entire second floor of the hacienda – provides the owners a world of their own steeped in unsurpassed privacy. Its fireplace and heavy-beamed cathedral ceiling bestow Old World appeal, a private balcony offers dramatic mountain views and the expansive walk-in closet, plus a pair of additional closets, assures proper and plentiful storage and dressing areas. The luxurious master bath features dual sinks, separate tub and shower and stunning hand-painted tile; an accoutrement shared by all bathrooms on the property.
While their hosts are comfortable in the master quarters, guests to “Hacienda Del Bosque” enjoy their own special retreat. The separate guest house and its flagstone patio overlook the pool, pergola and beautiful lawn. French doors open to the spacious living room with its fireplace, built-in bookcases and entertainment center.
