Description

Located on an oversized lot on the prestigious rim side of Chautauqua is The Dragon, crafted by Jae Omar and JVE Development Group. A luxurious, artful residence that seamlessly combines meticulous design, inspired craftsmanship, and a unique narrative. Spanning approximately 11,500 square feet, this home offers sweeping views and a high level of privacy just moments away from Palisades Village. From the outside, the home's facade commands attention with vertical wooden planks treated in the ancient Japanese shou sugi ban technique, where the wood is charred to preserve it, giving it a striking matte black finish. This dark, dramatic exterior is offset by a bright and vibrant interior, thoughtfully designed to guide visitors through an immersive experience. Upon entering, a double-height foyer introduces Jae Omar's signature style, including towering wood features, expansive glass panels framing private courtyards, artisanal plaster walls, live-edge wood finishes, and stunning stonework. Inside, the formal living room plays with unique window placements, while the dining room opens onto a two-story waterfall crafted from book-matched stone. The gourmet kitchen, complete with double islands, seamlessly integrates glass and wood cabinetry with premium appliances. A secondary living room features an angular stone fireplace accented with slatted marble, and the rear of the home opens through sliding glass walls to a covered patio, grassy lawn, sculptural fire pit, and a sleek pool with spa all overlooking tranquil canyon views. Rounding off the first floor is a well-appointed office with courtyard views. The second-floor primary suite is designed for luxury and privacy, featuring a book-matched stone fireplace, a sitting area with a full wet bar, custom walk-in closets, a private balcony, and a spa-inspired bathroom overlooking the canyon. Below, the wellness level offers a serene retreat, with rough-hewn natural surfaces, a plunge pool fed by the two-story waterfall, an exercise room with a steam shower and sauna, a glass-enclosed wine cellar, a bar, and a plush home theater. Every detail of The Dragon has been methodically executed, making it a masterwork of luxury living in one of the world's most coveted locations.
