THERE ARE HOUSES, and then there are statements. In Granite Bay, a modern compound built in 2021 is quietly redefining what it means to live large. At over 11,000 square feet between its main house and guest residence, this estate isn’t just a home, it’s an experience.

Step inside the 8,811-square-foot main house and you’ll see how every inch was designed to impress. Four sprawling bedrooms with ensuite baths feel more like boutique hotel suites. The bar, with its clever passthrough to the outside, anchors gatherings that spill effortlessly into the open air. Two full kitchens, one of which is stocked with top-of-the-line Thermador appliances, make hosting a chef-worthy event feel almost too easy. There’s a private theater with its own mini-kitchen, and a lounge designed for long nights that don’t have to end early. Even the garage is oversized, with room for boat parking.

The guest house? Not your average “casita.” At 2,247 square feet, it’s a fully realized retreat: two ensuite bedrooms, an office, a great room with a Thermador-outfitted kitchen, plus its own backyard, patio, and two-car garage. It’s independence without being apart.

But the real show begins when you step outside. This estate was designed for California days that turn into California nights. The upper pool area feels like a private resort, complete with a courtyard and a massive outdoor kitchen that could handle a catered wedding. A short stroll brings you to the lower pool, with its own outdoor bar and seating built for the golden hour. There’s a fire pit with room for stories and laughter, a miniature golf putting course for the competitive at heart, and a sports court where games unfold under the sun. Landscape architect Angela Long Horton and the team at Figs Landscaping carved out spaces that feel alive, while NorCal Pool Productions delivered water features that are less “backyard pool” and more “fivestar retreat.” Solar panels power the entire estate, proving you can live extravagantly and sustainably. The collaboration of Hawks Construction, Bart Edwards’ Architecture, and Lynn Lugo Design was a dream team of designers resulting in a compound that is at once glamorous and livable, daring and timeless. This isn’t just luxury real estate, it’s a canvas for the kind of life most only imagine. And in a market where “once-in-a-lifetime” is often an overused phrase, this Granite Bay estate may actually be just that. Properties like this don’t come around often. Schedule your private tour and see for yourself how a home can become one of the headlines of your life’s story.
