The Sanctuary | An Architectural Masterpiece with White-Water Ocean, Lagoon and Sunsets Views

“One of the things that makes this house a true gem, is the fact that it was designed by S. Scott Emsley, an Award winning Architect. In fact the home won an award from the American Institute of Architecture for the floating rooflines. Which just fits so perfectly with the way it cantilever down the hill into the lagoon.

The home is very recriminate of Frank Lloyd Wright but still it’s own look, Mid-Century Modern. It’s a very popular design right now and this home truly captures the flavor of a Mid-Century Modern. If follows all the attributes that you would expect. All the organic materials. All the lines that are so interesting. It gives the home so much vibrancy to the design of the home but here in this location it was made to be here. Literally made to be here and it fits so perfectly on the land. All the living areas have this incredible view by having indoor, outdoor living.

One thing that I think that makes this home very special right now, for today’s buyer is the auxiliary dwelling unit also known as a casita or guest house. To have a guest house of that caliber and with that kind of view, on this kind of property is really rare and a wonderful asset for the home and the new home buyers.

I think this home is designed so very well there is room division with these incredible floating walls but still that great sense of openness. I love the way that the two auxiliary bedrooms are down a separate wing from the master bedroom, giving the master a great deal of privacy. When you are standing out there on that deck the environment that you’re in, is like nothing you can find anywhere else, it’s such a privilege. Whoever moves into this home, is going to experience a lifestyle like no other.”
