This estate is its own private sanctuary surrounded by a mature avocado grove. The timeless and elegant main residence offers a stone archway that was brought from a church in Italy and encases the alder arched door, and the home's architecture was designed to compliment the unique piece and extend the European influence throughout the estate. The expansive living room showcases four stained glass windows which are the Four Muses with back lighting that came from France.
