Through the gate, up the palm lined drive and past the sweeping lawns, lies Villa Escondido, basking in the warmth of the Southern California sun.

This fantasy-like 7000 square foot home seems to be from a different place and time. With its majestic views, the place might be anywhere in the Mediterranean. The time, would be one of grandeur, chivalry and romance.

While Villa Escondido rests comfortably on its lushly landscaped 2.37 acres, there is an opportunity to expand. Two parcels of land, consisting of 17.5 acres, that gently sweep up to Villa Escondido from the West are also available.

The owners will entertain offers that would add the full acreage or a part to Villa Escondido.

Like all great family homes, Villa Escondido has grown over the years to meet the changing needs and desires of a growing family. Originally built in 1932 as a 2000 square foot country home it was expanded in the 1980s and again in 2004 bringing it to its current size. Consequently, the delights of this home are as varied and numerous as the functions they serve. While the newer entry, great room and dining room are very formal and grand in proportion and the large kitchen is gourmet, the home also offers more intimate and casual living and entertaining environments.

Villa Escondido takes full advantage of the Southern California climate. With a large saline pool and its surrounding patio, a smaller covered patio off of the great room and family room and an intimate balcony off of the master bedroom, Villa Escondido, offers many venus for entertaining, relaxing and playing out of doors.

When considering the available land to the west, there is even room for a dozen ponys!
