About This Home

As of August 2026

Welcome to Your Private Sanctuary in Olinda Ranch!

Nestled in a tranquil cul-de-sac, this stunning Olinda Ranch residence offers the ultimate blend of luxury, privacy, and Southern California charm. Set on an expansive lot with no rear neighbors, this home is a true entertainer’s dream—designed for both unforgettable gatherings and peaceful everyday living.

Step into a beautifully landscaped oasis featuring an elegant mix of slate and natural rock, designed for low-maintenance beauty. The backyard is a private retreat with a custom rock pool and spa, a built-in outdoor BBQ station, and a cozy fire pit, perfect for al fresco evenings under the stars. Backing directly to the Olinda Oil Museum & Trail, you’ll enjoy serene views and direct access to hiking paths—an ideal setting for nature lovers.

Inside, the spacious layout includes a desirable main-floor primary suite and an additional bedroom for guests or multi-generational living. Upstairs, you'll find two more bedrooms and a versatile loft that can easily be converted into a fifth bedroom or used as a game room or study.

At the heart of the home is a brand-new gourmet kitchen, thoughtfully designed with quartz countertops, a stylish farmhouse sink, and custom cabinetry with designer hardware. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the family room, complete with a cozy fireplace, and connects to the formal living and dining areas—ideal for entertaining. A dedicated office/den with French doors opens to the charming front courtyard, offering a perfect work-from-home setup.

Additional features include a three-car tandem garage, modern updates throughout, and a Soundscore™ of 84 (Calm), underscoring the peacefulness of the neighborhood.

Located in the prestigious Olinda Ranch master-planned community, you'll enjoy access to open green spaces, scenic trails, and a community park featuring sports fields, picnic areas, and playgrounds. This home is conveniently located just 6.5 miles from Cal State Fullerton, 9 miles from Fullerton College, and within easy reach of both John Wayne (23 miles) and Ontario International Airports (22 miles). Newport Beach is just 26 miles away, perfect for weekend escapes.
