These five acres of equestrian heaven are located in Wellington’s exclusive Mallet Hill gated community. With a 12-stall barn, six-car garage and plenty of room for entertaining short-term or long-term guests, this one-of-a-kind home has it all, including an art gallery, a walk-in wine cooler, a gym and a screening room. Together, the well-appointed guest house and grand main living quarters have a total of eight bedrooms and six baths, giving the homeowners and guests the pleasure of convenience, while also affording them the luxury of privacy. Vaulted ceilings and large, ample windows welcome the Florida sunshine, making the property both a welcome retreat and a comfortable home.
Wine Cooler: Separated by a gleaming glass wall and running the full length of the dining room, this walk-in wine cooler assures that your drink of choice will never be more than a few steps away. A playful cork end wall is a wonderful design element. Formal Dining Room: What dining room is complete without conversationinducing views? This one offers views of both the unique wine cooler and the outside patio area with its pool and summer kitchen.
Kitchen: This kitchen begs to be put to use entertaining guests. The gleaming stainless steel top-ofthe-line appliances include four ovens. A view to the front drive and its equestrian-themed fountain area lets the homeowner keep an eye out for guests as they arrive. Screening Room: This well-appointed screening room makes for a luxurious media experience. Media options also include the art of the written word with bookcases nearly surrounding the room. A fireplace tops off the coziness of this unique space. Formal Living Room: The ceiling in this spacious formal living room draws the eye forever upward, making a statement without speaking a single word. To the right of the piano, visitors exit through the gallery to the guest house. wellington the magazine | january 2015
