Tim Smith, a Coldwell Banker Global Luxury Property Specialist affiliated with the Newport Beach office of Coldwell Banker Realty, has listed the private sprawling estate of Ben Kante and Joni Rogers-Kante, Founder, CEO and Chair of SeneGence, the creator of The Original Long-Lasting Liquid Lip Color®, for $49,950,000. Located at 76 Golden Eagle in Shady Canyon of Irvine, Calif., the nearly 13,000-square-foot residence has seven bedrooms and 12 bathrooms.
“An art piece unto itself, this sumptuous estate is one of the most magnificent offerings in Southern California with awe-inspiring mountain and city light vistas,” said Smith. “Designed by renowned architect David Hohmann and built by Fari International with recent expansion and upgrades by Tony Valentine Construction, the elevator-served museum-quality interiors are accoutered with carefully sourced materials and interior furnishings by Ebanista. Embellished with tile by Concept Studios, Venetian Stoneworks slabs, Edgar Berebi hardware, ornate millwork and custom ceiling murals by Andrew Tedesco Studio, the home’s craftsmanship belies its age, offering a timeless ambiance rarely seen today.”
In addition to the "best home cinema" as globally awarded by CEDIA in 2020, the residence boasts a boardroom for ten with teleconferencing AV system, billiards and poker room with wet bar, more than 1000 bottle wine room, gym, wet and dry saunas, massage room and subterranean tunnel that leads to one of two lower-level guest ensuites. As intended, the great room flows effortlessly onto one of several wood-beamed loggias, separated only by oversized pocket doors. Designed as a dazzling complement to the great room, the grand kitchen features a catering kitchen, Naica quartzite slab countertops and custom mosaic tile backsplash. The centerpiece of the top level, the palatial primary suite has a fireplace, large expanded deck overlooking the home's commanding hillside setting and spa bathroom with dual water closets and two boutique-quality walk-in wardrobes. Outside, the ten-foot-deep resort-style pool takes center stage with water flowing over a vanishing edge, diving board, spa, underwater speakers and scuba snorkel system. On an approximately 37,810-square-foot parcel, the grounds offer an air-conditioned six-car garage, cold plunge, auto-tee driving range, cabana bar, oversized fire pit, barbecue with grill and commercial pizza oven surrounded by teak cabinetry. Other highlights include a Crestron home automation system, Vantage lighting controls, perimeter security cameras, a comprehensive leak detection system and RoseWater HUB SB20 backup battery power system.
