A Dana Point home so “smart” that the great room’s motorized pocket doors open to the backyard by voice command is on the market for $10.695 million.

The 4,626-square-foot, down-to-the-studs remodel that was recently completed features four en suite bedrooms, five bathrooms and state-of-the-art smart-home technology throughout.

“In fact, the entire estate has smart tech incorporated well beyond many homes today and is designed to work far into the future,” said listing agent Tim Smith of Coldwell Banker Realty in a video home tour.

To prove his point, Smith asks Josh.ai, an AI-powered smart home control platform, to open the left Fleetwood slider, and it does.

Records show the property previously belonged to Franco Fieramosca, the former Gucci and Prada footwear executive who died in January 2021 at 81, and his wife, Cristina Nannelli. The couple sold their home a year earlier to the current owner for $3 million.

Multiple listing service photos posted five years ago show the property has been updated with cutting-edge design and technology, befitting its affluent location.

The custom luxury home, situated on a third-acre cul-de-sac lot in 24-hour, guard-gated Estates at Monarch Beach neighborhood to take advantage of sunsets, boasts views of the Pacific and the fairways at the Waldorf Astoria Monarch Beach Resort and Club.

A pivoting glass entry door opens into the great room. There’s a modern linear fireplace flanked by built-in bookcases, anchoring the living area in that open-concept space. It connects to the dining space, highlighted by a glass-enclosed, temperature-controlled 30-bottle wine wall.

The eat-in kitchen includes marble surfaces, a suite of Miele appliances, a spacious island with seating, and a casual dining area. Both the kitchen and the butler’s pantry are equipped with custom Italian cabinetry that opens using hidden electronic push button technology instead of handles and features interior LED lighting.

Knock on the dishwasher, tap on the refrigerator and these paneled appliances open, too.

The glass walls open to extend the interior with the backyard saltwater pool and spa. There’s a patio with a fireplace and a built-in barbecue bar with a full-sized wood-burning pizza oven and a 36-inch Twin Eagles grill.

On the second level is a terrace with a fire pit overlooking the backyard. It connects to the game room with a wet bar, the media room and the primary suite.

A highlight of the primary bedroom is one of its two custom walk-in closets, which features a chute to the laundry room in the garage below and an app-controlled LG studio Styler Steam Steam Closet.

“But the smart technology doesn’t end there,” Smith said in the video, ticking off the Nest thermostats, Lutron HomeWorks lighting control panel, Vivint security cameras and Samsung Frame TVs that display artwork when it’s not in use and integrate with the Control4 home automation system.

Not to mention Josh.ai.

A seller-owned 25-panel Solaria solar-power system, a solar energy storage backup battery and a JuiceBox EV charger are included in the sale price.
