Home of the Day: The pirate life in Coto de Caza
At first glance, this sprawling estate in Coto de Caza resembles a theme park more than a home, with meandering pathways leading to such attractions as a lookout tower, an entertainer’s pavilion and a private lake. Anchored in the lagoon-style swimming pool, a half-scale replica pirate ship complete with cannons and an enterable cabin adds another whimsical note to the park-like setting.
