Behind the gates in Pablo Creek Reserve is ''Casa Antigua'', a lush private estate in which visitors will simultaneously feel as if they've stepped back in time to the bygone era, and yet find themselves surrounded by all the comforts and advances offered by the 21st Century. From the aged iron gates affixed to the stately stone entry columns accented with gas lanterns to the authentic full bed-depth stone driveway, this European Architecture inspired property instantly reveals it is a masterpiece on every level. Custom steel doors and windows, 12'' solid masonry walls on first and second floors, handcrafted cabinetry and expert carpentry are combined with the very latest appliances and whole house systems to make this an extraordinarily detailed home of the highest quality. Because it is designed at the human scale, Casa Antigua is undeniably magnificent, but at the same time possess an intentional, understated elegance which makes its occupants feel instantly at ease. The exterior gardens and recreational spaces offer the same successful combination of formal and informal highlighted by: covered lanais, a serene pool, open yard, bocce ball court, and an unexpected, walled, formal garden. For those who are seeking the best of both worlds, old and new; proximity to beaches, shopping, and services as well as privacy; grandeur and comfort, look no further than "Casa Antigua".
