1300 Log Cabin Ln, Ladue, MO 63124

Property Description

Set on more than three acres in one of Ladue’s most coveted locations, this truly one-of-a-kind contemporary residence is where organic architecture, exceptional craftsmanship and resort-like living come together. Tucked away behind an understated approach, the sprawling one-story reveals an entirely different experience the moment you enter through the dramatic pivot front door. Gutted to the studs and reimagined, the spectacular Jerusalem limestone entry sets the tone. An expansive main living and entertaining space is defined by a soaring 58-foot wall of floor-to-ceiling glass beneath a cathedral ceiling. Panoramic views stretch across beautifully landscaped terraces, fountains and the freeform saltwater pool, bringing the outdoors into nearly every corner of the home. At the heart of it all is a magnificently appointed kitchen centered around a massive mahogany island with a stainless-steel top, complemented by Wolf, Miele, and Sub-Zero appliances and Delicatus granite. An 800-bottle, temperature-controlled wine room is ready for everything from a casual glass to the kind of dinner party that deserves its own guest list. Radiant-heated Portuguese limestone floors, custom Honduran mahogany Shoji-style sliding doors, split-faced Georgia marble walls, Brazilian cherry hardwoods, a NanaWall folding glass door system and Loewen windows are just a few of the details that make this home unlike anything else. A fully integrated smart-home sound system and custom lighting allow the atmosphere to shift with the occasion, while expansive glass and carefully positioned living spaces continually frame the surrounding landscape. The pool/guest house, constructed in 2008, offers a private en suite bedroom, kitchen and living area, along with exceptional views of the grounds. A newer wellness room with full bath provides additional flexibility as a guest suite. Outside, more than three acres unfold into mature gardens, fountains, landscaped terraces and private spaces designed for both entertaining and escape. Spend the afternoon poolside, unwind in the hot tub, rinse off in the outdoor shower, and retreat to the primary suite without ever feeling like you've left your own resort. And then there is the garage. For the serious collector, the newly constructed garage addition offers room for up to eight additional vehicles, accessed through dramatic glass dealership-style doors. The original garage remains an ideal space for your everyday drivers, or the perfect post-work hangout. A whole-house generator, newer systems, updated plumbing and electrical and meticulous home stewardship provide the infrastructure to match the extraordinary design. All of it, remarkably, sits in a premier Ladue location close to Ladue schools, Ladue Marketplace and Truffles, the Log Cabin Club, area country clubs, and more. This is not a home that needs to announce itself. The architecture, the setting and the experience do that quite well on their own.
