Custom estate in Santa Rosa Valley has Tuscan touches

If the discerning homeowner could live every day in a resort-like setting, then a Tuscan countryside estate in glorious Santa Rosa Valley would be their dream residence.

That dream is located in the equestrian-zoned Hidden Meadows Estates gated community. Situated on six acres at 2624 Marvella Court, it has six bedrooms, 5 1/2 bathrooms and is more than 5,600 square feet of opulence.

Built in 2005, attention was paid to every architectural and interior detail of the custom home, from the stunning wrought iron light fixtures with a heart-shaped motif to the gentle archways and abundance of upgraded materials, including a Spanish tile roof reinforced by concrete in the Old World-style.

The property has its own wood and wrought iron security gate with intercom system, with a pebble- and flagstone-enhanced sweeping driveway that leads to the spectacular home. The grounds showcase well-kept foliage, manicured lawn and mature trees, and the focal point is a large stacked-stone planter in the center of the driveway. A complementing stacked-stone archway leads to the courtyard, where there is access to the main home, as well as an entrance to the two-story attached guest quarters, which feature a bedroom and bathroom on each floor.

Near the outdoor kitchen and entertaining area is a one of-a-kind pub and gaming room, with a beautiful restaurant-sized bar that’s perfect for entertaining, a storage room for refrigerator and kegs, space for a pool table, and two separate bathrooms.

At the main residence, the wrought iron front door leads to a tumbled travertine floor with stunning inset mosaic piece. The home has a great room that includes a gourmet kitchen with cherry-stained alder wood cabinets, granite countertops, tumbled travertine backsplash and stainless appliances. There is also a breakfast area, a family room with stacked stone fireplace and projection television, and a formal dining room.

There is a downstairs laundry room and a bedroom with bathroom that can be used for a caregiver or as an in-law’s suite.

Throughout the residence, there are exposed-beamed ceilings, hardwood floors and multiple French doors leading to the rambling grounds. Private and serene hillside and property views abound from all angles, visible through the glass doors as well numerous windows.

Up the sweeping wood staircase with wrought iron railing is a carpeted master bedroom with spa-sized bathroom that has a jetted tub with a private window view, his-and-her walk-in closets, double sinks, separate room for the commode and glass-enclosed shower. The master bedroom also has its own balcony patio with outdoor fireplace.

In addition to the two secondary upstairs bedrooms and bathroom, there is a guest suite accessible via a balcony walkway. A third story loft can be used as a separate family room or child's play area.

Complementing the exquisite interior is the equally outstanding exterior of the home, which features a flagstone walkway amidst the lawn, huge tumbled travertine barbecue and vast dining area, sport court for the athletics aficionado and an enormous fenced dog kennel that can comfortably house the family’s canines.

Other amenities include a three-car garage, fire sprinklers, security system, surround sound and a privacy wall that runs the entire perimeter of the property.

This incredible estate is priced at $2,299,000 and is an exclusive listing not offered in the Multiple Listing System (MLS).
