There are gigantic houses in the prestigious Frontenac Woods neighborhood, and then there's the 8,000 square foot mansion at the end of Frontenac Woods Lane.

The house - a colossal six-bedroom, eight bath built in 1984 - is one of the latest projects for Coldwell Banker Gundaker's The Irvine Team. Team member Caroline Matzen says the home's best selling points are its enormous size and the flexibility for work and play.

"It's a great house for a family, and it's a great house for entertaining," Matzen said of the home, located at 10588 Frontenac Woods Ln. in Frontenac. "That's a highly sought-after area, and a very prestigious area to live. It's a very different house, but there's absolutely so much square footage for the money."

The home is listed for $1,199,900.

Located at the end of the Frontenac Woods Lane cul-de-sac, the home sits on a one-acre private lot. That privacy can be tough to find in some suburban developments, but generally at or around 5,000 square feet and built on comfortably spacious lots, the homes in Frontenac Woods are largely the exception to the rule.

But don't be fooled by the home's wooded seclusion or contemporary exterior. It comes loaded with a modern interior, including a built-in circular bar, a sub zero refrigerator, double ovens and computerized lighting and surround sound schemes.

The indoor hot tub and Habitat steam room add a bit of uniqueness to the home, which also offers a heated, in-ground mineral water pool in the back yard.

"It's really a great place for having people over, and because of that secluded drive, you've got plenty of room for the parking," Matzen said of the home, which has been featured in Architectural Digest Magazine.
