Description
Villa Ananda is a contemporary masterpiece that embodies serenity and sophistication within Stone Creek Ranch in Delray Beach - South Florida's premier enclave hailed as the ''Billionaires' Row.'' Featured on CNBC, The Wall Street Journal, and in leading global design magazines, this estate is a rare fusion of architectural brilliance, natural beauty, and adrenaline-fueled elegance, with an automotive pedigree worthy of a champion driver. The result is a definitive statement in refined luxury living. Reminiscent of the French Riviera, Villa Ananda is sited behind private gates on 2.5 lush acres with sweeping lakefront vistas and an extraordinary 660 feet of waterfront. This single-story compound spans approximately 17,031 total square feet, with 11,457 square feet under air. Inspired by the tranquil elegance of iconic Aman Resorts, the estate embodies the essence of a private retreat - offering a rare balance of serenity, privacy, and security.
Outdoors, the property transforms into a resort experience, with gardens designed by renowned landscape architect Krent Wieland. Italian cypress, roses, bougainvillea, and Japanese blueberry trees frame the grounds as living art - creating vibrant vistas by day and a cinematic glow by night with curated lighting and the gentle sound of fountains. A covered lanai with fireplace, retractable screens, and a built-in grill extends the interiors seamlessly into the open air, while a bougainvillea-draped pergola and fire pit invite intimate gatherings under the stars.
Car enthusiasts will prize the rarity of nine air-conditioned garage bays - expandable with lifts to accommodate up to 18 vehicles - an amenity created for the passion of a Lamborghini Super Trofeo race-car driver. This extraordinary feature makes the estate as functional as it is breathtaking, complete with an arrival area designed to handle race car carriers. With the scale of the property, a true aficionado could expand even further, creating space for a collection that extends well beyond 18 cars.
Inside, every element reflects intentional world-class craftsmanship and design. Envisioned by Inson Dubois Wood Interiors, the spaces are dressed in soft shades of gray and white, accented with artisanal finishes that transform each room into a work of art. Furnishings - offered separately - include bespoke pieces from the Christian Liaigre Collection, adding an additional layer of refinement. European white oak floors provide a natural yet sophisticated foundation, while custom millwork and wall treatments blend seamlessly with lighting designed around Selenite crystal. Celebrated for promoting clarity and positive energy, the crystal infuses the interiors with both beauty and a restorative ambiance.
The kitchen stands as a showcase of style and function, anchored by a dramatic Calacatta Crema marble island that invites gathering, dining, and entertaining. Equipped with Sub-Zero refrigeration, dual Wolf ovens, and Bosch dishwashers, it delivers state-of-the-art performance with striking visual appeal. Beyond, a succession of elegantly scaled rooms unfolds with effortless continuity, each designed to capture abundant natural light and frame sweeping views of the water.
The primary suite unfolds as a private wing of the estate - an exclusive sanctuary designed for ultimate comfort and versatility. It features the main bedroom, a secondary bedroom, a dedicated office, and dual baths and closets, creating a retreat that is both indulgent and highly functional. More than a suite, it is a self-contained domain within the residence, offering complete privacy and refinement. Boutique-style closets have been custom designed with precision, while spa-inspired baths provide moments of retreat and restoration. In addition to the primary wing, six additional bedroom suites each offer their own distinct sense of luxury, complemented by seven full bathrooms and three powder rooms finished to the highest standard.
Villa Ananda integrates technology and security with seamless sophistication, delivering both comfort and peace of mind. Crestron home automation and a Sonos sound system provide effortless control, while impact windows, a full-house generator, lightning protection, and advanced UV water and air purification ensure resilience and well-being. For leisure, a club room with a 150-inch projection screen brings the cinematic experience home.
Completed in 2018 and extensively reimagined in 2019, Villa Ananda was expanded with a dedicated guest wing, enhanced living areas, and a full redesign of its landscaping, pool, and finishes. The result is a residence that feels entirely new, yet carries an enduring sense of tranquility and permanence.
Stone Creek Ranch itself is synonymous with prestige, offering residents the assurance of a 24-hour manned gate and armed roving security. Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac, Villa Ananda enjoys complete privacy while remaining just moments from the education, cultural and lifestyle destinations of South Florida. Top private and public schools are minutes away. Downtown Boca Raton lies only 12 miles away, Delray Beach's vibrant Atlantic Avenue is 12.5 miles, and Palm Beach's iconic Worth Avenue is just 27 miles to the north.
Every detail of Villa Ananda has been curated to embody harmony, elegance, and distinction. More than a residence, it is an experience, a sanctuary, and a legacy estate that stands as the pinnacle of South Florida living.
