Before stepping foot onto the grounds of Villa Ravello, one can sense the magic of this incredible setting.  Impeccable classical design by Architectural Digest’s AD100 architect Marc Appleton and meticulous building craftsmanship from Leonard Unander Associates herald the highest standards in quality from imagination to execution. Tall California live oaks stand sentinel alongside a majestic iron entry gate with the estate’s “VR” signature crest, allowing a glimpse of the grand Italianate facade beyond the auto-court, ready to usher visitors into the embrace of this unique never-before-sold property.

Lined with Mexican purple sage, violet Princess flowers, and dark green California lilac ground cover, accented by white and pink roses, the garden is meticulously curated to reflect the finest native specimens. The apricot-colored lime plaster exterior elevations are equal parts beautiful and durable, with a look of iridescent translucency reminiscent of old European towns, and have the breathability, sustainability, and crack-resistance that has made lime plaster a favorite of generations of true craftsmen over more commonly used Portland cement stucco.
