It's described as "old world hacienda," according to the Times, and features six bedrooms, 5 1/2 bathrooms and several fireplaces along with stone and hardwood floors.

There are also three guesthouses on the property in addition to a gym, tennis court, swimming pool, spa and "two-story entertainment pavilion" that includes a kitchen and fireplace.
