About This Home

As of May 2023

Imagine waking up to the sound of hoof beats and mission bells, with the beaches of Dana Point only a few minutes away. Come fall in love with the serenity of Aguacate Farms, a five acre equestrian haven in the heart of San Juan Capistrano. A coastal property with grounds of this magnitude and a panoramic view of the mission, mountains, and ocean is a rare find in Orange County. The contemporary single level home boasts old world charm with crisp modern aesthetics of nearly 5,000 square feet and a five car garage. A detached casita features a full kitchen, bathroom, walk-in closet and views of the pool and hillside. Entertain guests in the backyard that features a salt water pool & spa, built in bbq, and fire pit with adjacent built-in seating.

The property lies at the end of Aguacate Road, abutting the Peppertree Bend trail. It is a quick trail ride to Sycamore Trails, Rancho Sierra Vista or Rio Vista stables and minutes from the Blenheim Equestrian Center. Currently, the property features a three stall barn and two separate pastures and is currently zoned for six horses. The property has the potential to be zoned for up to 21 horses with a conditional use permit. In addition, property has the potential to be subdivided into two parcels. The landscaping features drought tolerant plants and mature trees that offer privacy. Enjoy the 3D virtual tour of the home and the aerial tour of the grounds.
