This view is taken from the ocean side of the property looking towards the house with sweeping lawns in the foreground.

The ocean view looks out upon the breaking waves with grand cypress trees.

This romantic master suite has a corner fireplace, high ceilings and ocean views beyond.

The lap pool and spa has gorgeous views of the ocean and the sweeping lawns.

As you bask by the pool this is the view that awaits you. There are lawn chairs to relax in and watch the migration of the whales.

The grounds allow for wonderful social functions or just a fun game of croquet with family and friends.

The ocean side court yard of the estate is fabulous for entertaining.
