Outdoor Space & Landscape
Tropical Tranquility
Nestled into more than two acres, this backyard retreat seamlessly merges island-inspired serenity with a passion for sports. The homeowners envisioned an all-season, open-air oasis where entertaining and relaxation flow effortlessly.
To maximize privacy, the cabana was cleverly integrated into the home’s architecture, creating three direct access points to the outdoors. With its two strategic privacy walls and lush landscaping, the space offers seclusion while maintaining an airy, inviting feel. Remote-controlled power screens provide instant enclosure, making the area adaptable to any weather.
The pool’s organic layout wraps around a sunken fire pit, ensuring those in and out of the water remain connected. A cascading rain curtain at the south end adds a soothing ambiance, complementing the bocce court nearby. Thoughtful details—herringbone oak ceilings with customizable LED lighting and full-sun outdoor TVs—ensure that no game is ever missed, no matter where you lounge. This is outdoor living, elevated.
