A vision brought to life with impeccable craftsmanship and an unwavering commitment to luxury and functionality. Within the exclusive guard-gated enclave of Coto de Caza, this 5-bedroom, 4-bathroom masterpiece is more than a residence—it’s an experience. Every corner, every finish, every thoughtful detail has been meticulously designed to elevate modern living. The open-concept floor plan effortlessly blends beauty and versatility. A main floor flex room offers endless potential—an ideal space for a home office, guest bedroom, or creative studio. The kitchen is a chef’s dream, curated for culinary artistry, and the heart of the home flows seamlessly to the backyard, where tranquility and charm take center stage.

Whether it’s morning coffee on the patio or sunset gatherings under the warm California sky, this outdoor space is designed for connection, not just occasions. The backyard is an entertainer’s dream & a tranquil escape rolled into one. Centered around a sparkling pool and elevated spa, this private oasis is made for both celebration & serenity. Not just beautiful, but smart & sustainable, this home features solar power, combining luxury with energy efficiency. One garage bay has been thoughtfully converted into a home gym, offering a dedicated space for wellness & convenience without sacrificing style. Beyond its breathtaking interiors & resort-style outdoor living, 34 Vela grants access to a lifestyle reserved for the few. This is Coto de Caza—a place where rolling hills frame morning walks, where championship golf courses and a world-class country club redefine leisure, & where tennis, pickleball, equestrian trails, and resort-style pools invite daily adventure. The esteemed Coto de Caza Golf & Racquet Club offers membership plans tailored to every passion—from golf & racquet sports to fitness and social experiences—ensuring residents can immerse themselves in the very best of country club living. Top-rated schools, upscale shopping, & Orange County’s iconic coastline are just moments away. Here, life moves differently. Serene, yet connected. Luxurious, yet welcoming. Exclusive, yet effortless. 34 Vela isn’t just a home. It’s the culmination of aspiration, design, & Southern California elegance—delivered.
