Located in Granite Bay, California, this 6 bedroom 14 bath home is the creation of Austrian architect Gillsburg Andrew. With over 15,440 sq. ft. of interior space it sits on nearly five acres of land with three man made lakes, manicured gardens with European inspired fountains and charming touches such as gazebos and sculptures. Originally constructed by Gary Cino, the owner of the 98 Cent Clearance Center chain, as a one-of-a-kind fishing escape the front lake has a depth of 26 feet, is filled with 1.1 million gallons of water that are stocked with bass, trout, sunfish, carp, and bluegill. Known as The Ponds at Granite Bay, the property complimented the fishing escape theme with deluxe suites for guests and a commercial kitchen.
The current owner transitioned the fishing compound into a European estate during the early 2010s by working with Austrian architect who shared his vision for creating a home from a bygone era with a nod to the grand homes of Europe. He sourced the classically trained craftsmen who would turn his vision of a stately home complete with wrought iron gates, grand staircases, gothic arches, domes, vaults, courtyards, and grand fireplaces into reality near Folsom Lake. Most building was completed in 2020 while special finishes continue to be finalized.
Yet it also has modern amenities such as a home theatre, wine cellar with tasting room, fitness center, a Swedish sauna, Turkish steam shower, and an interior courtyard with pool which is visible from each of the two floors. There is also a ten car garage, a full-sized vault directly from the Bank of America in San Francisco, and an elevator that goes from the first floor to the rooftop. There is also a caretaker suite and the 14 peacocks, mandarin ducks, rooster, chicken and 8 swans are included with the property.
The grounds include a fruit orchard (cherries, peaches, plums, apricots, apples, pears, and gooseberries), a citrus grove (lemon, mandarins, and oranges) and are enhanced by the magnolia, palms, birches, pines, willow trees, and polucarpus to complete the landscaping.
The cathedral ceilings, dramatic staircase and stately fireplace create designer touches of a bygone era. The six bedroom suites each have their own heating and air conditioning zones with gas extending to the balconies to offer outdoor access year-round.
