Spirits will soar inside this contemporary masterpiece of wide open spaces punctuated by stone, lush hardwoods, glass walls and seamed copper sheeting above the fireplace extending to the 2-story vaulted ceiling in the living room. Looking out to the lawn through the wonderful wall of glass, it looks like the Chinese horse statue formally on the side table, mushroomed into a full sized steed on its way for a drink from the pool. Perfect! Maybe they'll let him stay! Privately tucked away behind the gates of Moraga Estates in Bel Air, CA, this 9,543sf residence was built in 1986 with 5 BR and 6.5 BA. Nestled into 2 acres of lush lawns and gardens, the property overlooks the Getty Museum and vast Pacific beyond. The kitchen has all of today's amenities and has a breakfast room. The formal dining room has views over the lawn and Pacific, and the pièce de résistance is the grand master suite with its his and hers baths and dressing rooms! (Dreams do come true!) Such a perfect house for entertaining, it has a sophisticated bar and lounge off of the living room . . with the lounging alligator for one of your more unique conversation pieces!

Outdoors, with lawns and distant views is a lovely pool and spa, Zen retreat and trickling fountains. The four car garage sits at the edge of the large motor court under the watchful eye of a large sitting Buddha, bringing serenity to the entrance.
