Perched in the coastal hills of San Juan Capistrano, this landmark ocean-view estate blends the timeless elegance of Beverly Hills, the Hamptons, and exclusive European retreats"”all just five miles from the beach. Spanning 3.8 ultra-private acres and 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 elements: 7 bedrooms, 7 baths, 5 imported fireplaces, French limestone cladding, hand painted murals and a slate roof. The entry sets the tone with a dramatic 3-story foyer, imported chandelier, domed ceiling, floating staircase, skylight, and museum-quality art niches. Outdoor amenities rival any five-star resort: panoramic hilltop views, a 33,000-gallon koi-filled lake, tranquil stream, gym, rolling lawns, fruit orchards, olive grove, and a full perimeter trail. Entertain effortlessly 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 driveway that surrounds the perimeter of the property. The chef's kitchen is outfitted with Pedini Italian cabinetry, marble counters, island and top-tier Miele, Wolf, and Sub-Zero appliances. Formal dining and living rooms with imported 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 private view terrace, fireplace retreat, and a spa bath wrapped in book-matched marble, complete with steam shower, soaking tub, and Pedini wardrobe. The separate guest house, recently upgraded, offers a spacious 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 currently hosts table tennis and billiards but doubles as a car collector's gallery.
