Recalling the grandeur of Beverly Hills, the Hamptons and exclusive European enclaves, this landmark ocean-view estate in the coastal hills of San Juan Capistrano represents a new level of enlightened luxury and rare opportunity. Crafted over 7 years and now revealing a $4 million remodel, the masterfully designed and constructed mansion is one of the finest in Orange County, encompassing an exceptionally private elevated homesite of 3.8 acres. Located just five miles from the beach and behind 2 gates of its own, the uncompromising residence presents a total of 7 bedrooms, 5 full baths, 2 half baths and 5 imported fireplaces in approximately 14,917 s.f. Panoramic countryside and city light views are framed by spectacular grounds that reveal a circular driveway around the entire perimeter, a tranquil stream, detached gym with A/C, and a serene 33,000 gallon lake teaming with more than 500 Koi. Entertain stylishly with a resort-caliber pool and spa, an open-air fireplace surrounded by amphitheater seating, a reflection pond, rolling lawns, gazebo, more than 2,500-s.f. of decks and loggias, a party pavilion with BBQ and TV, and a full-perimeter trail leading to gardens, fruit trees and olive groves. Embraced by a French limestone façade and slate roof, the main house is introduced by a stunning 3 story entry with domed ceiling, skylight, floating curved staircase, imported chandelier and illuminated art alcoves. Formal living and dining rooms provide the perfect setting for sophisticated celebrations, while casual gatherings are enjoyed in a great room and a new chef-inspired kitchen with island, Italian-made Pedini cabinetry, marble countertops, and Miele, Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances. Experience the pinnacle of personal luxury in a primary suite that displays a view deck, retreat w/ fireplace, and an opulent bath with book-matched marble surrounds, a soaking tub, steam shower and walk-in wardrobe by Pedini. Guests may be reluctant to leave after enjoying a newly upgraded three-bedroom, two-bath guest house that spans nearly 5,751 s.f. and features remodeled living spaces, a second-level kid’s lounge and game room with two new decks. Currently featured as a table tennis/billiards room, a wide main-level hallway with polished concrete floors would make an ideal car-collector’s showcase. The guest home’s 1,300-s.f. basement, which is not included in the estate’s total square feet, can easily become a wine cellar, state-of-the-art home theater or golf simulator
