Description
Every so often, a residence comes to market that quietly redefines expectations--this extensively customized Andalusian Contemporary Prestige Collection estate stands among the most architecturally compelling offerings in Griffin Ranch. Early interest has been strong, with private presentations now being introduced selectively.
Positioned on a premier 23,506 sq ft corner homesite, spanning approximately 4,529 sq ft of refined single-level living, this open-concept residence offers 4 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, a detached casita & a 4-bay split garage with epoxy flooring & climate control. The highly sought-after Residence 6B plan is rarely available within the community & represents one of the most desirable layouts offered.
A striking architectural arrival is framed by mature Phoenix palms, layered stonework, curated hardscape & privacy hedging. Custom wrought-iron gates open to a private courtyard anchored by the detached casita--ideal as an executive office, studio, or guest retreat.
Inside, soaring ceilings, refined millwork, custom cabinetry & slab stone flooring and countertops create a cohesive, elevated material palette. Expansive retracting glass walls in the great room & kitchen deliver seamless indoor-outdoor living, opening to a south-facing resort setting with sweeping Santa Rosa Mountain views.
Significant post-construction enhancements include a professionally integrated Control4 system managing whole-home audio, media, lighting, security & gate access.
The gourmet kitchen is designed for both performance & entertaining, featuring Thermador Professional appliances, expansive island seating, walk-in pantry, butler's pantry, warming drawer & commercial-grade ventilation.
The flex lounge--arguably the home's signature space--centers around a dramatic illuminated Lumix Quartzite bar with integrated media, surround sound & seamless pass-through to outdoor entertaining areas.
The primary suite offers direct backyard access, complemented by a spa-inspired bath with slab finishes & custom wardrobes.
Outdoors, the south-facing backyard presents a custom pool & spa, pergola lounge, curated landscaping & mountain views--creating a private, resort-caliber setting.
Residents enjoy guard-gated Griffin Ranch & The Griffin Club, offering fitness, Pilates studio, tennis, pickleball, bocce & a 25-meter pool.
Opportunities of this caliber are rare. Offered partially furnished. Private presentations available by appointment to qualified buyers.
