The home
About 72 Hillcrest Lane
Set amongst a grove of sycamores and pines overlooking a scenic private park in Newport Beach, this exquisite Big Canyon custom residence is a most unique and special offering. Three years in design and construction, it is the culmination of a lifelong passion of its creator who is an esteemed collector, curator and student of the arts. The French inspired home and surrounding gardens, published many times, exude a mature authenticity that could not be replicated today. This impressive property is entered through a formal garden court designed after the Serra de la Madone, lushly planted with roses, lavender and citrus. Inside, the quality is apparent (note: the replacement cost of the structure today exceeds the asking price). Various antique elements collected over decades in France were utilized throughout its nearly 6,000 square feet. Grand, over-scaled rooms ideally arranged for light and views open to terraces and verdant gardens. The four room master suite is especially inviting and private. The versatile plan serves two people in residence equally as well as two hundred for an event. There is also a detached 2 bedroom guest cottage. The alchemy achieved here deserves special consideration from those in search of the finest in property offerings.
