Discover a Contemporary Masterpiece at the Santa Lucia Preserve designed by Mark English Architects in 2020. The Meadow House stands as a testament to harmonizing modern luxury with the untamed natural beauty of The Preserve. Wrapped around an ancient oak grove in a Z configuration, the design preserves and honors the expanding meadow in the view. Expansive openings and massive retracting doors with deep verandas graciously merge indoor and outdoor living. The exterior palette of weathered steel and cedar battened screens soften the boldness of modern design in a wild setting, blending into the surrounding environs. The expertly appointed chefs kitchen with shoji sliding screens inspires entertaining on a grand scale while guests enjoy six ensuite bedrooms, two half baths and an additional full bath, a lower-level media room, a special yoga/meditation retreat and a separate guest house. The inspired living pavilion offers an intimate library and a sunken lounge for gathering amidst the mesmerizing views. The ultimate luxury of the Meadow House is the location in the heart of The Preserve community; live in nature and walk to dining at The Hacienda, Sports and Equestrian Centers or travel the abundant trails. A perfect balance of nature and lifestyle for the adventurous at heart.
