An indoor pool is incredible enough, but an indoor waterfall, too? This house has both, along with almost 40-foot ceilings, multiple mezzanines, and not one but two stages fit for pianos or other artistic expressions. Outside, lush gardens and tranquil courtyards compete with a fireside lounging area for your favorite spot to relax in San Diego’s year-round climate. Back indoors, the acoustics rival that of a concert hall, and the natural light conjures opportunities as an art gallery. Leave it to Zillow Gone Wild, they’ve found another property that almost defies the imagination.
