SPECTACULAR 4.5 ACRE PARCEL IN A PRIVATE CANYON WITH APPROVED PLANS READY TO BUILD! Residing in the exclusive new gated enclave of The Oaks at Trabuco, this amazing lot is ideal for those seeking a luxurious countryside escape that belies its city-close setting. Blending modern style with classic farmhouse-inspired elements, the design of the graceful residence is built into its own private 4.5 acre canyon, with views extending up rugged hillsides that embrace the canyon and provide captivating panoramas from most living areas. A long drive introduces the home, which displays a first floor that presents a split four-car garage, a spacious game and media room with powder room, a private courtyard, and stairs or elevator that leads to the upper floors. Ascend a grand outdoor staircase to the estate's stunning entrance, where a towering foyer opens to a main floor that showcases pleasing natural light, a separate bonus room, an office, and a massive great room that opens to a grand covered terrace through disappearing panel doors. A chef-caliber island kitchen boasts high-end appliances, an enormous walk-in pantry, and an island that incorporates banquette seating and a built-in table. Indoor and outdoor spaces are blurred in the formal dining room, where a see-through glass wine display captures the eye. Approximately 7,374 square feet with an additional 1,080 square feet of covered decks and terraces, the expansive plan ensures comfort with 6 en-suite bedrooms and 8 baths. A 550 square foot, one-bedroom casita features an en-suite bath, separate living area and full kitchen. The primary suite is distinguished by serene views and a patio, while a wood tray ceiling, two walk-in closets, freestanding tub, spa-style shower and sit-down vanity elevate luxury to new heights. Limited to just nine custom estate homes on equestrian-zoned lots, the gated enclave of The Oaks at Trabuco is ideal for those seeking solitude and privacy. Nature dictates the placement of every residence in the exclusive collection, which is closer to shops, restaurants and toll roads than Coto de Caza and Dove Canyon.
