If there was ranking for show-stopping swimming pools, then the curvaceous waters that sweep the border of this Bel-Air acre plot would be topping the chart. Not only is it vast and flows to infinity, but it places swimmers and bathers at the edge of unparalleled views from the Getty to Catalina. The seven bedroom, ten bathroom, 20,000 square ft home designed by Tag Front Architects is valued at $48,000,000, and it’s easy to see why.
A modern paradise unfolds behind the gates of this property in the prestigious Bel-Air neighbourhood. The acre-plus promontory supports oversized gardens, the finest in indoor-outdoor living and jaw-dropping architecture.
The front of the house stands like a fine fortress, protecting the serenity within.
To the side of the gardens, the professional tennis court beds down by a hedgerow and mature trees.
Six fountains froth in the swimming pool, marking the beginning of its exaggerated length. The location of the fountains positions them to be viewed from inside the home too.
SeaBobs make a quick and fun mode of transport to scoot from the house end of the pool to the sun loungers set out all the way down at the other.
The sun loungers are double banked around the pool edge, with some staying dry upon the deck, and others offering a cool dip.
The pool loungers are set into the shallows of an underwater platform; a step down plunges into deeper water.
The infinite pool ripples out to a breathtaking panorama, and reflects neverending clear blue skies.
By night, the house and gardens are alive with light, emitting a welcoming warmth.
The social spaces open up to the gardens so that all areas can be used seamlessly and connectively.
