Spike Moss

Irvine, Kalifornien 92603, USA

In the prestigious enclave of Shady Canyon, 11 Spike Moss stands as the undeniable crown jewel of the community. This magnificent estate spans 17,660 square feet on a rare 1.33-acre blufftop lot, the largest single lot in the enclave. The residence’s exterior is a masterful display of timeless design with Romanesque thick stone walls and reclaimed Tuscan terra cotta brick and roof tiles, while the estate’s pièce de résistance is the awe-inspiring operating 35-foot stone bell tower, crowned with an exquisite Italian bronze bell. Entering the estate through its gated driveway sends one back in time. Upon entering the grand foyer, the sense of another era remains, as you are greeted with soaring fresco-painted ceilings and an opulent Carrera marble stairway that ascends to the private primary suite. The assembly room, with its soaring ceilings and grand fireplace, sets the stage for sublime gatherings as it melds with the dining room's 20-person antique table and authentic main chef’s kitchen and secondary catering kitchen. The primary suite is an inviting and restful retreat, featuring a reclaimed Tuscan fireplace, a hand-carved stone bathtub, and a private fitness suite. The separate family wing ensures comfort and privacy with four additional bedrooms, four bathrooms, and a private kitchenette. The lower level is an unparalleled realm of entertainment and leisure, transporting you back in time with each step down the stone and brick-clad stairway. Emotions strengthen as you enter a subterranean world with brick-clad walls and groin vault ceilings, and a wine tasting room. Adjacent is the Tuscan cistern-style game room, illuminated by a glass skylight, same as the wine tasting room and the 2,500-bottle wine cellar. A 150-inch screen theater and performance stage delivers an immersive entertainment experience, while the Taverna, with a stylish bar, epitomizes refined relaxation. Outdoor entertainment options are not ignored with a 48-foot infinity pool and private spa, offering a sunny sanctuary of unparalleled peace and indulgence. The meticulously curated grounds feature a full-size bocce ball court, a pizza oven, and a cozy fire pit, all surrounded by manicured landscapes. A professional workshop, three-car garage and six-car “auto barn”, bookend the entry courtyard. Located within minutes of the best beaches, dining, shopping, top schools, and transportation hubs, this estate is a statement of unparalleled style embodying the pinnacle of refined living.
