After Building a Modern House, They Spent $45 Million to Create Something Completely Different
After building a modern home in San Mateo, Calif., April and Andrew 'Boz' Bosworth made a major architectural pivot when they decided to build a getaway. Inspired by a trip through South America, the couple built a rustic, 12,000-square-foot hacienda that nestles into the landscape.
The vacation home, which they call Estancia Madera, is in the Santa Lucia Preserve, a former working cattle ranch that is now a gated community between California's Carmel Valley and Carmel-by-the-Sea. While a large portion of the 20,000-acre Preserve's rolling meadows and hills is a conservation area, the community also has almost 300 home sites and amenities like a golf course, clubhouse and guest lodging. It is where the couple got married in 2012 and purchased 65 acres the following year.
