Motivated Seller is offering an exceptional value and opportunity to own one of the finest estates in OC. Perched in the coastal hills of San Juan Capistrano, this landmark ocean-view estate blends the timeless elegance of Beverly Hills, the Hamptons, and European retreats—only 5 miles from the beach. 3.8 ultra-private acres protected by dual gated entries, the compound showcases a 9,166 s.f. Primary residence, 5,751 s.f. guest house, and a 1,300 s.f. subterranean level – perfect for a wine cellar, theater, or golf simulator. Following the original 7-year meticulous build, the home has most recently undergone a $4 million renovation; every inch reflects uncompromising quality craftsmanship, materials and design: 7 bedrooms, 7 baths, 5 imported fireplaces, French limestone exterior, hand painted murals and a slate roof. The entry offers a dramatic 3-story foyer, imported chandelier, floating staircase, skylight, and art niches. Outdoor amenities rival any 5-star resort: panoramic hilltop views, a 33,000-gallon koi-filled lake, tranquil stream, gym, rolling lawns, fruit orchards, olive grove, and a perimeter trail. Entertain with a resort-style pool and spa, open-air fireplace amphitheater, BBQ pavilion with TV, 2,500 s.f. of loggias and decks, and parking for over 50 cars in a circular roadway surrounding the property perimeter. The chef’s kitchen features Pedini Italian cabinetry, marble counters, island and top-tier Miele, Wolf, and Sub-Zero appliances. Formal dining and living rooms with stone fireplaces and beam ceilings provide the ideal setting for sophisticated celebrations, while casual gatherings are welcomed in the family room with bar, wine display, stone fireplace and breakfast nook overlooking the spectacular grounds. The primary suite is a sanctuary with a view terrace, fireplace retreat, and a spa bath wrapped in book-matched marble with steam shower, soaking tub, and Pedini wardrobe. The separate guest house offers a living room with vaulted beam ceilings, open kitchen, 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, office, a game lounge, A/C and dual view decks. A polished concrete hallway hosts table tennis and billiards but doubles as a car collector’s gallery. One of Southern California’s most exceptional estates – Rare privacy, world-class design, and unmatched lifestyle!
