Luxury meets the links at 9 Colonel Winstead Dr. The Brentwood home situated in The Governors Club is headed to auction on Monday, March 24 with a starting bid of $3.4 million.
By the numbers, the five-bedroom, eight-bathroom estate boasts an 800-bottle wine cellar, two 85-gallon saltwater aquariums, an 11-seat media room, and a two-lane bowling alley. The real star of the show is the view from its balconies, which overlook the 3rd green and fairway of the Arnold Palmer Championship golf course.
Of course, living in The Governors Club has community perks of its own — like the cabana bar by the resort-style pool and access to Pleasant Hill Mansion.
