    It took roughly four years to turn a hilltop parcel at 13 Old Ranch Road into SmartClixx founder Gary Dinkin’s dream home.

    With 360-degree views from La Jolla to Laguna Beach in Orange County, California, this 13-acre piece of land is one of the largest in the neighbourhood and even the wider area.

    Basically, if the home is sold for the asking price, it will break the record for the most expensive sale in the area, which typically sees one-acre homes sell for between $10 million to $20 million less.

    Noted as Robb Report‘s home of the week, the artsy, love-filled estate is on the market for a cool $50 million (around R800 million):

    The $50 million custom-built home spans 14,500-square-feet and has six bedrooms, ten bathrooms and almost every amenity you can think of.

    It might be too large for the retired businessman, his wife and their two doodles (their two grown daughters live elsewhere), but it’s the ideal compound for a family that appreciates art, loves to entertain and enjoys the outdoors.

    The 500-foot driveway leads you to a custom, geometric glass-and-steel gate that Mrs. Dinkin herself designed and continues to the circular motor court and a stunning porte-cochère (designed after the one at the Aria hotel in Las Vegas) that features one of the two Jon Seeman sculptures in the driveway, and has room for up to 30 cars. There’s also a separate eight-car garage.

    Virtual tour time:

    The Dinkins spent years perfecting every detail inside and out to honour their family and love, which they’re now willing to share with others:

    For example, the ceilings have an array of shapes, including two hearts above the breakfast nook. The library ceiling features six triangles, one for each member of their family and their two dogs.

    Mrs. Dinkin says that although there are hidden symbols that represent her family and the love between husband and wife, anyone will be able to find their own meaning within these artful elements.

    Even the front door has won awards for its design.

    But the real star of the show is the negative-edge pool, thanks to its spa and centre-fitted fire pit that seats 25:

    There’s also a large bar, game room, Art Deco-style movie theatre, gym, steam room and infrared sauna, and a hidden wine cellar in a Spanish-Mediterranean style.

    The home was a true labour of love, and an “anomaly” that Mrs Dinken believes will never be found again.
