A massive Mediterranean compound recently listed for sale at $8.25 million in the upscale Dominion development is now the most expensive home in the San Antonio market.
As one might expect for such a price tag, the estate is sprawling and loaded with an astonishing array of amenities.
Composed of a main residence, a guest house and a sports-and-wellness center situated on a 2-acre lot, the 27,417-square-foot compound has it all, including six bedrooms and a staggering 11 and a half bathrooms.
Upon entering the main residence, marble tile floors and a ceiling with elaborate crown moulding set a tone of opulence that continues throughout. Oversized windows mirror a series of archways that lead into the heart of the palace — there’s no other word for it, after all.
True to the palatial setting, the rooms are cavernous and seem ideal for entertaining, including the living room, kitchen and bar.
The opulence of certain details in the formal dining room — a sparkling chandelier and arched buffet nook, for example — is offset by the spaces’s muted tones. Then again, understated minimalism is the new wealth signifier, or so we’re told.
Other amenities in the dwelling include the auxiliary kitchen with its own wine cooler, a study with wraparound built-in bookcases and a proper theater room with stadium seating. Adding to the overall sensory experience, an integrated sound system allows for ambient music to be piped throughout the labrynthine home.
The primary suite includes its own private sitting room and dual walk-in closets. An en suite bathroom offers spa-level luxury with marble and travertine finishes, a tub framed by roman columns and dual vanities with a mounted TV.
Outside, a pool with elaborate waterfall features leads to a guest house where a large common area with wraparound couch makes for a stunning gathering place under a conical, wood-paneled ceiling.
Venture further down the stone pathway to find the massive sports and wellness pavilion, including an indoor basketball court, racquetball court, resistance pool, sauna, weight room and game room — along with its own kitchen and living room areas.
Honestly, we could probably go on, but this property must be seen to be believed — for those in the correct tax bracket, that is.
Maybe a sultan is the middle of a house search?
