An ocean-view Mediterranean-style villa with a subterranean level encompassing a wine cellar and custom high-tech screening room has been listed for $43,995,000 by Tim Smith, a Coldwell Banker Global Luxury Property Specialist affiliated with the Newport Beach office of Coldwell Banker Realty. Located at 9 Clear Water in Newport Coast, Calif., the three-level residence has seven bedrooms, 11 bathrooms, two offices and a bonus room/loft with ocean views.
“Inspired by the private villas of Europe’s romantic Mediterranean region, this sublime custom residence in Crystal Cove’s guard-gated Estate Collection has it all, from fabulous ocean views and top-tier appointments to generous space and lush grounds,” said Smith. “Sequestered on a small cul-de-sac street, the opulent home is poised on a hilltop where unobstructed panoramic views span the azure Pacific Ocean, dramatic canyons, natural hillsides, lush fairways, evening lights, beaches, Catalina Island, sunsets and Orange County’s famous coastline.”
Providing an appropriately impressive introduction to the villa, the home’s glass-and-wrought-iron entry doors lead to a circular foyer with illuminated art niches. Flanked by colonnade-style halls with stunning cross-loin ceilings, the phenomenal great room features a high open-beam ceiling and an oversized fireplace. One hall goes to a private courtyard via numerous sets of Palladian-style French doors, and the other hall offers passage to a formal dining room with a patio as well as the home’s casual living and entertaining spaces.
A great room with a built-in entertainment center has direct access to a richly appointed kitchen complete with a separate breakfast room, butler’s pantry, oversized island, built-in refrigerator and a pro-grade Wolf range. The primary suite offers an ocean-view loggia, expansive custom closet and luxury bathroom with a freestanding tub. In addition to an eight-car garage, the nearly 21,607-square-foot grounds extend and frame the home with formal gardens, custom fountains, a gated entrance, private courtyard and a resort-style backyard with a pool, spa, loggias, a built-in BBQ center and lawn for elegant gatherings.
