This remarkable custom residence occupies a rare location within the acclaimed guard-gated Shady Canyon enclave where the setting shifts- and architecture gives way to pristine land and uninterrupted views that invoke Tuscany. Here, the boundary between home and landscape softens entirely, and the rear grounds seem to extend indefinitely into rolling hills, with native grasses and canyon vistas creating a sense of space. Reimagined with a second level addition adding a new suite of bedrooms including a luxurious primary suite, this classical Santa Barbara style home is both warm and deliberate in its simplicity. White stucco walls, exposed wood beams, and beautiful finishes establish a quiet palette, while a series of openings via French doors dissolve the line between indoors and out. The kitchen and family room unfold as one continuous space, oriented entirely toward the rear terrace and views beyond, and the modern pool and spa, allowing daily life to move fluidly between interiors and the outdoors. A private entry courtyard introduces the home with a sense of intimacy as the layout unfolds offering six bedrooms and six-and-two-half baths. On the main level, two bedroom en suites and a detached casita offer quiet refuge- and an additional flex space is perfect for a dedicated gym. Upstairs offers an ideal configuration with a primary bedroom suite with office space and two additional secondary bedroom en suites. Outdoors, the design embraces the atmosphere. A large pool and spa sit low against the horizon, while barbecue, dining, fire pit and lounge areas offer resort style living, set beneath a pergola and open sky showcasing the breathtaking views reminiscent of Tuscany. As the light shifts, the property takes on a cinematic quality, with colorful sunsets setting the surrounding hillsides aglow at dusk. Shady Canyon, known for its world-class amenities, including swimming, pickleball, tennis, golf, playground, clubhouse, hiking and biking trails, and 24/7 guard-gated access, is in close proximity to excellent schools, UCI, John Wayne Airport, and famed shopping and dining experiences.
