Newly Built Fresno Estate with a 13-Car Garage and 400-Gallon Saltwater Aquarium Hits the Market for $11,577,777

The 8,904-square-foot residence in Via Alicante pairs a La Cornue-equipped kitchen with an expansive private-resort setting featuring a pool, putting greens, pickleball court, sauna and multiple outdoor entertaining spaces.

There is no shortage of amenities at 2230 E Spey Valley, but two numbers quickly convey the scale of the newly built Fresno estate: a garage with room for more than 13 cars and a 400-gallon saltwater aquarium inside the house.

Completed in 2026, the gated residence spans approximately 8,904 square feet on 1.7 acres in Via Alicante. It has five bedrooms and 6½ bathrooms according to the listing description, along with two additional flex rooms that can accommodate uses ranging from offices and fitness spaces to additional guest accommodations.

The property is asking an equally distinctive $11,577,777. Beyond the main house, much of that proposition is tied to the grounds, which have been developed as a private recreational compound with a resort-style pool, putting greens, covered outdoor kitchen, removable pickleball court, koi pond and sauna.

A La Cornue Kitchen—and a 400-Gallon Aquarium

The kitchen is built around one of the home’s principal design statements: a La Cornue range. The French-made range gives the culinary space a recognizable focal point while supporting a kitchen intended for serious cooking as well as entertaining.

Elsewhere, a 400-gallon saltwater aquarium introduces a very different kind of centerpiece. At that volume, the aquarium is less decorative accessory than architectural feature, bringing movement and color into the interior on a scale designed to attract attention.

The rest of the floor plan balances those showpiece elements with dedicated functional spaces. A game room and wine cellar are supplemented by substantial storage, while two flex rooms allow the house to adapt to a future owner’s priorities.

They could function as a private office, gym or wellness room, for example. The listing also suggests potential use as additional guest accommodations, though they should not be counted as additional bedrooms without confirmation that they satisfy applicable requirements.

Nearly 9,000 Square Feet Designed for Flexibility

With five bedrooms, the house doesn’t rely on an unusually high bedroom count to justify its 8,904 square feet. Instead, much of that space is devoted to recreation, entertaining and rooms whose purpose can change over time.

That is particularly relevant for a newly built estate. Rather than prescribing a specific use for every room, the two flex spaces leave part of the program deliberately open-ended.

The game room and wine cellar are more specialized, while the kitchen forms the principal culinary and social anchor. Generous storage addresses a more practical consideration in a property designed to accommodate large gatherings and a significant collection of vehicles or recreational equipment.

Owned solar is another component of the estate’s infrastructure. The supplied listing does not provide the system’s capacity or production figures, so its actual contribution to the property’s energy consumption would require separate documentation.

The Backyard Operates Like a Private Recreation Club

Step outside and the estate becomes less about square footage than the number of different ways the grounds can be used.

The resort-style swimming pool forms the visual center of the outdoor environment, surrounded by landscaped grounds and multiple gathering areas. Putting greens create another recreational zone, while a removable pickleball court adds a sport that can disappear when the space is needed for another purpose.

Two fire pits provide contrasting settings, including one designed to operate with either gas or traditional wood. A koi pond introduces a quieter landscape feature, and a private sauna extends the property’s wellness amenities beyond the interior of the house.

The arrangement gives the 1.7-acre site several personalities. One part can function as an active recreation area while another accommodates dining, conversation or a quieter retreat.

That ability to separate activities becomes particularly useful when entertaining on a large scale. A pool party, dinner and game of pickleball don’t necessarily have to compete for the same patch of backyard.

Two Outdoor Living Areas Expand the Entertaining Space

The primary covered outdoor pavilion is effectively another living and entertaining room.

It contains a full kitchen and televisions, allowing meals and gatherings to remain outdoors without repeatedly sending guests back into the main residence. Its roof also provides protection from Fresno’s summer sun, making the space more functional during hotter periods.

A second outdoor living area creates additional flexibility for dining, lounging or entertaining. Combined with the pool and recreation areas, the two spaces distribute guests across the grounds rather than concentrating everyone under a single patio.

This is where the property’s resort comparison becomes more tangible. The pool alone doesn’t create that experience; it is the combination of food preparation, shaded living areas, sports, wellness amenities and landscaped gathering spaces that allows different activities to happen simultaneously.

The Garage Can Hold More Than 13 Cars

For an automotive collector, the most consequential amenity may sit away from the kitchen and pool.

The estate provides garage capacity for more than 13 vehicles, an unusually large allocation even for a house approaching 9,000 square feet. The listing also positions the space for recreational equipment and storage, meaning it doesn’t have to function exclusively as a car collection facility.

Unlike properties marketed with enough land to potentially build a large garage in the future, the capacity here already exists. That removes the uncertainty surrounding whether a collector could secure approvals for a major additional structure after purchasing the property.

The listing does not specify the garage’s square footage, number of individual bays, ceiling heights or whether the stated 13-plus capacity depends on lifts or tandem parking. Those details would be important for a serious collector to verify, particularly if the space is intended for oversized or especially valuable vehicles.

Even with those questions, the stated capacity makes the garage one of the estate’s defining features—and one that broadens the property’s appeal beyond conventional luxury-home amenities.

The $11,577,777 Price Starts a New Market Story

Unlike several established estates with years of prior sales and changing asking prices, the supplied information for 2230 E Spey Valley contains no historical transaction or listing data to analyze.

That means the $11,577,777 asking price should stand on its own rather than being framed against an unsupported previous value. Based on the reported 8,904 square feet, the asking price works out to approximately $1,300 per square foot.

Even that metric tells only part of the story. A simple price-per-square-foot calculation assigns the property’s value to the residence while failing to separately capture the 1.7-acre site, extensive outdoor improvements, pool, sporting amenities and unusually large garage capacity.

For a 2026 residence, there is also no long history of completed sales for this particular house from which to infer how buyers have valued it over time. Its current offering effectively begins that market record.

A House Built Around Hobbies

Many luxury estates are organized around the conventional hierarchy of kitchen, great room, primary suite and pool. This one adds another layer: it allocates substantial space to what its owner might actually want to do.

Cooking has the La Cornue kitchen. Cars have a garage capable of accommodating more than 13 vehicles. Golf has the putting greens, pickleball has its own removable court, wine has dedicated storage, and fitness or wellness can occupy one of the flexible rooms before extending to the private sauna.

Even the 400-gallon aquarium belongs to that idea. It isn’t a necessity; it is an enthusiast’s feature deliberately incorporated into the house.

That may ultimately be the most distinguishing characteristic of 2230 E Spey Valley. For $11,577,777, the property isn’t merely offering a large new house with a resort-style backyard. It has been conceived as a collection of spaces for recreation, collections and entertaining—then given 1.7 gated acres on which to spread them out.
