Sipping In Style: Four Homes With Cocktail Bars
In desirable settings from East Coast to West, these distinctive, well-appointed home bars prove that the best spot for a festive nightcap is often home sweet home.
Sophisticated Style in Santa Fe
Overlooking the rolling fairways of a Jack Nicklaus–designed golf course in Santa Fe’s exclusive Las Campanas community, this custom estate—a 4,296-square-foot two-bedroom main residence and a two-bedroom guesthouse—combines soft contemporary style with the inherent welcoming warmth of the Southwest. The heart of the home is a dramatic great room with high ceilings, vigas, a fireplace, a dining area, doors to a portal and patio, and a sophisticated wet bar. Indoor-outdoor living and entertaining benefit from a backdrop of two majestic mountain ranges.
A Quintessential Vineyard Estate
At this impressive 14-acre estate, a six-bedroom Mediterranean-inspired residence, a guesthouse, a pool and spa, a bocce court, and a fire pit are enveloped by more than 11 acres of vineyards, gardens, trees, lawns, and rolling hills. Featuring a professional-caliber chef’s kitchen, a formal dining room, a well-outfitted home theater, a wine tasting room, and a great room with a fireplace and a spacious cocktail bar with counter seating, the villa’s modern single-level floor plan is ideal for living and entertaining in comfortably elegant style.
Pacific Palisades Oasis
Impeccable attention has been paid to the details, finishes, and amenities of this stylish 6,528-square-foot five-bedroom home in the prestigious Riviera neighborhood of Pacific Palisades. Highlights include a comfortable theater, a chef’s kitchen with a La Cornue Château series range, a climate-controlled wine closet, formal living and dining rooms, and just off the family room, behind pocket glass doors, a chic custom cocktail bar. The backyard oasis boasts a pool, a spa, a verdant lawn, and flourishing citrus, olive, and other trees.
Red Gate Farm
On the banks of the Aspetuck River, this verdant 54-acre equestrian estate offers three barns with 69 stalls, tack rooms, haylofts, riding rings, staff quarters, an office and viewing room, paddocks, and fenced pastures. High on a hill at the end of a long private drive, the stately stone manor that anchors the property features four bedrooms, six fireplaces, formal living and dining rooms, a library, a wine cellar, a welcoming kitchen, and a family room with a timeless wood-paneled bar.
