Casa Lucca, "Green" Dream Home


Casa Lucca is an extraordinary estate constructed in the style of an authentic Tuscan Villa. This home is greener, safer, quieter, healthier, more thermally efficient and more environmentally friendly than any other estate home in this market. A thick masonry shell and permanent concrete tile roof create a fortified and energy-efficient environment. Equipped with a high-tech thermal blanket, solar energy panels, energy efficient HVAC equipment, and Low-E windows and doors…its specifications far exceed the National Energy Star standards.

Green Features:
• Hot water and emergency energy are generated from the sun
• All rainwater is harvested for irrigation
• Constructed with recycled and renewable resources (including carpets, components and finish products that do not produce the levels of volatile organic compound gases that are associated with allergies and asthma)
• Primary lighting sources that use a fraction of the energy of conventional lighting
• Awarded "Best Green Built Home"

Nestled between its 360-degree observation tower and its dine-in wine cellar, there are two floors of resort-style, carefree living space. The L shaped loggia and master suite offer breathtaking views of the cascading waters of the large saline swimming pool, which appears to flow seamlessly into the pristine waters of the 75-acre lake where the fish abound and only non-motorized watercraft are allowed.

Authentic appointments include antique and rough sewn timbers, handmade Spanish cedar and Mahogany doors, Italian marble, stone and leather. The feel is completely Tuscan, but artfully disguised state-of-the-art conveniences provide a lifestyle of luxury.

Casa Lucca features 12-foot, first floor ceilings, 10-foot second-floor ceilings, a main floor master suite, 3 second-floor suites, plus a separate au pair or exercise suite. There is more than 12,000 sq. ft. under roof that includes: 7871 sq. ft. of heated space, 1884 sq. ft. of covered outdoor space, a 444 sq. ft. private courtyard, 1290 sq. ft. of garage space and a 1032 sq. ft. pool pavilion.

With over $300,000 of donations raised through its construction, Casa Lucca will help transform the lives of the patients, friends and families of those afflicted with Leukemia, Lymphoma and other cancers. Living in the opulence of this one-of-a-kind custom estate, the lucky homebuyer is likely to feel transformed, as well.
