Description

Located in Bradbury’s most prestigious gated enclave, this extraordinary estate spans approximately 4.45 acres with over 17,000 square feet of living space. Inspired by Suzhou Garden aesthetics and traditional Beijing courtyard design, the residence was crafted over eight years in collaboration with the team behind the Huntington Library’s celebrated Chinese Garden, Liu Fang Yuan. The result is a seamless blend of cultural artistry and contemporary comfort, showcasing dark-fired brick flooring, layered gray clay roof tiles, flying eaves, intricate brick carvings, and openwork window screens. The estate follows a traditional three-courtyard configuration across four separate structures, offering a harmonious balance of space, privacy, and functionality. The First Courtyard centers around a symbolic Taihu “Longevity Stone,” with a formal entry that welcomes with symmetry and serenity. The East and West Wings each feature two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a full kitchen, and a private garden—ideal for multigenerational living or guest accommodations. The Second Courtyard, the heart of the estate, includes upturned eaves, pavilions, shaded walkways, and a wraparound veranda. A sculpted screen wall engraved with the Chinese character for “fortune” serves as a symbolic focal point. The expansive East Hall, with 20-foot ceilings and over 1,100 square feet of open space, accommodates grand entertaining, cultural events, or private gatherings. Additional features include tea rooms, lounge areas, a 10-by-82-foot indoor heated pool, and an eight-car garage with EV charging. The Third Courtyard, positioned on a gentle rise, embodies tranquility and prominence, with a serene study, spacious primary suite, walk-in dressing room, and luxurious bath. Openwork screens and carefully placed windows filter natural light throughout, creating a peaceful, contemplative atmosphere. The gardens evoke Suzhou’s poetic landscapes with Taihu stones, an arche Bluestone bridge, and a bubbling spring reminiscent of Jinan’s Baotu Spring. To the south, the architecture curves in homage to Suzhou’s Jinji Lake. Hidden within the estate is a 30.8 kW commercial-grade solar power system, supporting sustainability without compromising its timeless elegance. This architectural heirloom offers unparalleled privacy, master craftsmanship, and cultural depth—truly one of the most significant residences in California.
