Robert Maes - Del Mar Mansion

Here we are in Del Mar, at a stunning custom home that features your own private in-home theater, a backyard that's to die for, and all the amenities one could only dream of. Without further ado, let's go check it out. Hey. Hey, Ty. How's it going? Good. Good to see you. This is Robert Mays, luxury real estate specialist from Pacific Sotheby's International Realty. Beautiful home on the outside. Tell me about the inside. It's a five-bedroom, seven baths. It's about 11,650 square feet. We've got a theater. We've got a six-car garage that's absolutely gorgeous. Being in real estate 39 years, this is the best house I've ever been in. As we walk into the house, first thing we have is a form of living. Beautiful walnut floors. All the fireplaces in the home are limestone. And real quick, we've got to point out the size of the fireplace. That's a beautiful feature in this room. Because the rooms are so large, it actually fits perfectly in here, and the fireplace is actually five feet high inside. Beautiful. One of the things that I really have noticed thus far, all of the light just floods into the house. Well, and that's true. And that's the style that everybody's going to nowadays, is light, bright, and airy. We have a home theater. This is a unique space because you can hit one button if you want to watch a movie, or you can leave it this way to carry on meetings and so forth. They also have these 14-inch bumpers between the seats that actually shake when there's some bass going on in the house, so it gives you more of a true effect of watching a movie. That actually gives you a better effect than going to the movies. I think you'll never watch a movie in another environment as good as this one. We're headed into the most incredible kitchen you've seen. Does it get much better than this? It really doesn't. And I'll tell you, this kitchen is hard to put into words. You've got onyx countertops. You've got mahogany and walnut cabinetry. You also have very beautiful under-counter lighting. Below every counter, every sink in the house, it's all stainless steel lined. You can really see why it took four years to build this home. Absolutely. The level of detail. This is really a chef's delight. Family room's highlighted with a 108-inch television. I thought we already saw the theater room. This is the informal TV watching area. The kitchen just flows right here into the family room. So whether you're sitting here and relaxing and watching a football game or a movie, or you could be in the kitchen whipping up a special meal. That's what's nice about it. The TV you can watch from any area of this room. In this room right here, we call it the pool table room. Has a wet bar. Has a beautiful wine cellar. Now the highlight of the house is the master bedroom. Wow. The entire master suite, including bathroom, is about 3,000 square feet. This is bigger than most people's homes. You've got even a dishwasher. If you want to sneak away to the jacuzzi at night, you can go down the back staircase. We're facing towards the ocean and you have endless sunset views every night. This is living the California dream here. This master bedroom is the dream. You've got a his and her closet. Beautiful custom cabinetry, onyx top. It's all organized so that you can have your heavy coats, your winter wear, your summer wear, you can all be in one room. When you wake up every day and you head to your bathroom, this is as good as it gets. What's interesting in here is this solid onyx tub. This is one piece of onyx. You even have the floor lights right around your nice tub. Just to highlight it. Just a little highlight. Those are rain heads. Oh, so you can lay in there. You can lay on here. We've seen the downstairs blown away. We're still in the master bedroom over 3,000 square feet. We've got to check out the backyard. You've been holding out on me on that one. Well, let's go take a look. This backyard is great for entertaining. You could have a couple of hundred guests here and the property would have no problem making everyone feel comfortable. You have a pool that's 96 feet long. So really, this is an entertainer's dream. As you mentioned, you can have hundreds of guests over. Who doesn't want to jump inside this pool with, at minimum, five waterfalls and two grottos, a water slide? It's a five-star retreat in your own backyard. All right, Robert, now that we've seen the inside of the house, we've seen the backyard, and it's really all blown my mind. I say we jump in the helicopter, check out the lot size, and some of the community. I think that's a great idea, and I'm looking forward to it. One of the big benefits of Rancho Pacific is the location. It's close to shopping. It's close to the beach. One of the nice things about that property, it's one of the highest locations in the development, and you have a very nice ocean view. The house is located within seven or eight minutes of three high schools, Torrey Pines High School, Canyon Crest High School, and Cathedral Catholic High School. And it's also adjacent to hiking and biking trails. You have the great school districts. You're close to the beach, close to downtown. Everything is really right around this property.
