Elite Luxury Homes A TALE OF FOUR CITIES, THIS ISSUE’S SELECTION OF PROPERTIES FEATURES TWO BEAUTIFUL YET ENTIRELY DIFFERENT CALIFORNIA ABODES, AN ARISTOCRATIC HOME IN LONDON AND A HOTLY ANTICIPATED NEW RESIDENTIAL BUILDING IN NEW YORK BY SAMANTHA COLES An impeccable display of sleek geometric architecture, this 10-bed, 18,500-sq-ft home is known as El Canto del Agua (meaning ‘the song of the water’). Designed to merge with its Californian surroundings, the property has tons of fl oor-to-ceiling windows, some of which are double height. The very lengthy list of amenities include: a grand family room with a big bar and a fl oor-to-ceiling glass wine cellar that can hold over 1,000 bottles; a home cinema with space for 20 guests to recline and relax; an astonishingly large primary suite at 2,700 sq ft with two double oversize closets, sitting room, o ffi ce, patio and central fi replace, plus an en-suite bathroom with double rainwater showers and a soaking tub; and a spacious gym that includes a huge Roman style bath and rejuvenation center with jetted tub and various steam shower heads. It is quite di ffi cult to pinpoint the showstopper in this home, but the outdoor space is rather exceptional. Centered by a terraced swimming pool complete with waterfalls and stepping stones, there’s a sunken seating area with a fi repit and multiple lounging areas for lazy days in the sunshine. There’s also a rooftop sundeck and a wraparound balcony. Naturally, a home of this caliber also comes with a separate, completely independent home — with two bedrooms, three bathrooms and a 1,300-sq-ft kitchen — for guests or sta ff . $35.6m.
