Grand mansions aren’t just for European nobility – this sprawling home on the outskirts of San Diego proves that. It embraces all the glamour and opulence of the Art Deco age with a full bar (inside and out) for sundowners, a Venetian-style entrance to the swimming pool terrace (the pool is fed by a waterfall) and myriad lounges inside decked out in mid-century splendour. A private art gallery and wine room are at your disposal and there are plenty of entertainment options thanks to a plush private cinema and fully-equipped gym. There’s a golf course and resort nearby and the centre of San Diego is a half-hour drive.

About Carlsbad
You’ll feel that true Californian spirit in Carlsbad, combining the energy of a vibrant city with a relaxed, beachy vibe. A wealthy spot on the coast of San Diego County, the area has a quiet suburban feel, with famously welcoming locals. We’d probably be just as cheerful being surrounded by gourmet restaurants, coffee shops, beaches, and the sea. Tamarack Surf Beach is our stand-out – it’s as white and sandy...
