About This Home

As of September 2021

Perched on the premier lot within the coveted Aubergine community of Esencia in Rancho Mission Viejo, this unobstructed mountain view estate exemplifies the very best of Southern California living. Evoking the ultimate in style and design, the residence features a wonderful arched entry lit by a designer chandelier and bordered by an elegantly curved staircase. The refined coastal interior flows perfectly with an enhanced chef's kitchen which is open to the family and dining room creating an impressive great room. Anchored by a fireplace, the main living area features high custom beamed ceilings, enhanced engineered wood flooring, designer light fixtures, and large windows that frame the green hills beyond. Tastefully designed, the kitchen is equipped with high end appliances, custom white cabinetry, and a massive center island. The main level detached ensuite casita is perfect for a home office or visiting family. The master bedroom is an elevated private escape with awesome mountain views and a spa-like bathroom with marble floors, large closet, and high ceilings. Ideal for grand-scale entertaining, the main floor is made larger by opening up onto a shaded California room, looking upon the oversized yard with new negative edge pool, warming fire-pit, and lounge area with a stunning mountain view backdrop. Further complementing the home is a tankless water heater, fully paid off solar, and intelligent smart home enhancements. Situated within top- rated school zoning, the residence makes you feel worlds away yet you are just minutes from all of RMV's incredible amenities and world class beaches.
