Property Description

Nestled in a mature pine grove within the Sierra foothills sits one of Mariposa’s most spectacular private & self-sufficient estates. Only miles from the west Yosemite entrance, the estate is surrounded by vast trails with towering pine & cedar groves that provide ample privacy. The centerpiece of this property is its sprawling 5,119 SF custom-built masterpiece that leaves one feeling the exclusivity and luxuriousness that this home offers. The estate epitomizes the perfect union between restrained elegance & comfortable functionality. Walking into the living room with its towering vaulted ceilings, handcrafted library & immense stone-walled fireplace is reminiscent of entering a chalet in Yosemite. The level of craftsmanship & artistry resonates throughout the home. The chef’s kitchen is designed to accommodate the crowds the estate can embrace while the indoor pool right outside the dining area impresses, yet does not overwhelm the surroundings. With 5 beds, 5 baths, 2 libraries, 6 fireplaces, gourmet kitchen, 1,144 SF four-car garage, 480 SF RV garage, & a heated-indoor swimming pool perfect for entertaining, the estate has everything one needs to retreat to the mountains. Both master bedrooms on the west wing offer private entrances onto the central garden. The office/library was built to feel like a treehouse, nestled amongst the pines and welcoming the surrounding trees through its windows. A spacious, screened garden just off the main living area, offers a four-season outdoor retreat where one can comfortably enjoy a book or morning coffee. The east wing offers picturesque views from each bedroom as well as its own entrance into the indoor pool area. This 21+ acre parcel is beautifully maintained to allow access to private roads, 3 RV hookups, RV garage, & private trails to a seasonal pond and amazing lookout points. Walled gardens and courtyards give one a retreat-like experience while strolling the meandering slate and brick walkways surrounded by redwood trees, pear trees, and a beautiful blend of indigenous and imported plants. The multiple patio tables and benches located throughout the gardens allow you to pause and meditate on the sights, sounds and smells offered by this serene retreat. A discreet 2 bed/1 bath mobile home was used for the property caretaker-has its own private entrance and driveway. A full-house automatic generator, propane tank and well with water tank reserves create a home that is ready for anything.
