Rare opportunity for a Luxury Estate in Secluded Neighborhood of Silverado Canyon. Experience unparalleled privacy and luxury in this expansive estate offering sophistication and seclusion, boasting its own private gated entry and a sprawling oversized lot that is a rarity in South Orange County. Step inside to discover a meticulously designed interior featuring 5 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms spread over two levels. The ground floor offers an array of luxurious living spaces including a formal living room, dining room, an open kitchen equipped with a butler’s pantry and state-of-the-art GE Monogram appliances. A main floor bedroom with an ensuite bathroom provides a perfect arrangement for guests. The oversized family room complete with built-in surround sound creates an ideal setting for entertainment and relaxation with access to a central courtyard to step into to enjoy your morning coffee. Upstairs includes 3 secondary bedrooms, a central loft space, and a grand primary bedroom that also features a private retreat. The entire home benefits from recent upgrades including PEX piping, a water softener system, reverse osmosis, fully paid solar panels, newer dual HVAC systems, and a massive backup generator, ensuring comfort and sustainability. What truly sets this home apart is outside to a backyard designed for entertainment and leisure, where luxury meets nature. This estate features a diverse array of mature fruit trees including apple, pomegranate, lemon, avocado, grapes, and a unique plum cherry tree. The professionally landscaped garden is equipped with a top-tier irrigation system, ensuring verdant scenery and bountiful harvests. The centerpiece of the outdoor oasis is a pebble-tech finished pool with a water slide and a newer pool heater, with an option for the pool to be easily converted back to saltwater if desired. Adjacent to the pool, an entertainment center includes a built-in BBQ, TV, and fire pit, perfect for hosting gatherings. For the golf enthusiast, a putting green is thoughtfully placed, a picturesque pond with koi fish, fed by an automatic feeder, adds a tranquil touch to this outdoor space. Located just minutes from major shopping centers, yet offering a retreat from city life, this estate provides the perfect balance of accessibility and privacy. With its unique position in the canyon and close proximity to urban conveniences, this home is a sanctuary offering the best of both worlds.
