PROPERTY DESCRIPTION

Authentic Provencal gated estate in San Juan Capistrano, with world-class beaches, shopping and dining nearby (but seemingly a world) away. This exquisite private estate is approximately 1-acre of paradise with views of the hillsides, canyons, and peek-a-boo ocean views. The architect/builder used French artifacts, antique components, and artisan finishes imported from France throughout the main residence and guest house, every detail has been selected for its beauty, authenticity and rich patina. There are 5 large stone fireplaces in the main house, which features a formal living room and dining room, climate controlled wine room, gourmet kitchen with family room, an office, 4 bedrooms, and 6 bathrooms. The home has beautiful limestone and wood flooring throughout. The gardens surrounding the home are beautifully landscaped in Provencal style with fruit trees and plantings. The outdoor area has a salt water lap pool, fountain and built-in BBQ. In addition the guest house has 1 bedroom and bathroom, kitchen, family room and office. A separate garden house with 1/2 bath sits amid vegetable and herb beds. The result is an estate with a sense of history and relaxed elegance formerly reserved for centuries-old European country manors. Close to the prestigious school St. Margaret's Episcopal and J Serra.
