Nestled on a scenic lake in Pine Ridge, this magnificent estate compound offers a host of superb amenities and recreational pastimes.
The country-like beauty of Pine Ridge is all the more alluring in this unique compound facing southwest on the shores of Mockingbird Lake, a picturesque recreational lake offering fishing, small-craft boating, kayaking, canoeing, and jet skiing. From the estate’s gated entry, a long private drive leads to the six-bedroom main residence, while a second drive serves the four-bedroom guest house, beyond which sits another structure ideal for boat storage or additional garage space.
Expressly designed to capitalize on the lakefront scenery, the elegant Mediterranean-inspired residence overlooks the water from most major rooms, several of which flow onto view-filled resort-style loggias by the infinity-edge pool. Every requirement is provided for comfortable living and entertaining, from the elaborately detailed formal and casual living areas, to the theater, poolside game room, and private quarters for family, guests, and staff. Whether for relaxing or partaking in all the recreational activities at hand, this is an exceptional Pine Ridge estate.
