Amidst the stately grandeur of the Valley lies a lovely homage to traditional European estates. La Bellezza di Paradiso is a luxury villa provides a verdant garden theme with large grassy areas and beautiful trees lining a tumbled paver driveway that opens onto a large auto court. Landscape lighting accents the entry Cantera columns, carved Cantera façade, two auto court fountains, trees and paver pathways. Dual electronically automated iron gates with custom hand-applied finish allow entrance to the property where there are over 12,000 square feet of sierra-blend tumbled paver driveways and walkways and 3,000 square feet of grass with tumbled paver and Cantera paver courtyards. Numerous custom Cantera fountains are placed throughout the landscaping.
