what is the “oasis”?
Oasis is the word most befitting of this unique space. Serenity abounds in this fully walled, private zen garden. Every detail of this 7,000 square foot luxury estate exudes blissful delight. The 9 bedrooms, 11 bathrooms and two guesthouses are all of spa quality. Lush gardens welcome and comfort you. Adding to the exquisite landscaping is a large pond home to many 30+ year-old koi. Linger in the gazebos, lounge by the fireplaces, play in the game room, splash in the pool, or enjoy a veggie bbq at the outdoor grill and bar. Host a private yoga class in the heated yoga studio. A genuinely special location where connections deepen, hearts open and peace is found.
