Swim laps, lounge in the pool house, or sun yourself on the chaises while listening to babbling brook and birdsong. The scale rivals most luxury hotels. Suzman & Cole's design weaves nearly a mile of walking paths through over 300 legacy oaks, redwoods, and palms. Bordered by Indian Creek and an on-site well with automated irrigation, the estate is a self-sufficient natural oasis.
