Looking to set a local record, the owners of the so-called Coronado Castle have listed the historic property with an eye-popping $39 million asking price.
Conceived by famed architect Richard Requa in 1925, the property includes a 14,242 square foot main house, a guest house, gardens and a host of lux amenities—all just 100 feet from the shore.
The three bedroom, seven bathroom main house features vintage Hollywood glamour and castle-like characteristics, including an impressive turret that acts as an entrance hall, hand-hewn beams, opulent tile flooring, ornate ironwork and stained-glass touches. An immaculately hand painted coffered ceiling dominates the formal dining room and is a true showstopper.
The gourmet kitchen boasts an 80 inch La Cornue range and rotisserie, double Subzero fridge, Miele steam oven and coffee station, and a wet bar. Historically accurate embellishments have been added throughout. Including a mix of rare finishes and Moorish tiling sourced from around the world.
The basement has been updated with entertainment in mind. The now includes a golf simulator, media room with bar, trophy room, 25-seat movie theater with projector, 1,300 square foot gym, and a full spa with dry sauna, massage table and ice bath.
Outside, a pool deck features 250-year-old stonework, Moorish ironwork, a full outdoor kitchen and dining area. The lush oasis includes 100-year-old rustic olive trees, three fountains, a putting green, secret garden and dog run.
