Tucked behind the gates of Rancho Madrina in San Juan Capistrano, this exceptional Monterey Colonial estate is a masterclass in timeless architecture, refined craftsmanship, and resort-inspired indoor-outdoor living. Upon entering this one-of-a-kind home, you will immediately notice the handmade Saltillo tile on the main level, rich wood flooring throughout the upper level, tray ceilings, custom walnut plantation shutters, and solid-core wood doors throughout, all giving the home a warmth and character rarely found at this caliber. The chef’s kitchen is built for serious cooking and effortless entertaining, anchored by custom inset quarter-sawn white oak cabinetry, slab granite countertops, custom brick backsplash and a generous Butler’s pantry. A professional-grade 2022 Wolf appliance suite and vent hood with a commercial exterior blower, paired True refrigerator and freezer columns (both new in 2022), and a Sub-Zero undercounter ice maker. The great room is anchored by a brick raised-hearth fireplace and built-in surround sound system, while the formal dining room features a dramatic custom iron chandelier, dual-sided fireplace, and French doors that open to a center courtyard with fireplace, ideal for entertaining. The primary suite, with Juliet balcony, opens to a spa-quality bath with jetted tub, large dual-sided walk-in shower, and two spacious closets with custom built-ins. Three additional spacious ensuite bedrooms and a bonus room make this the perfect home. Outdoors, the grounds deliver the very best of Southern California living: an expansive covered patio, authentic Mugnaini wood-fired pizza oven, outdoor prep area, and bocce ball court. A magical secret garden, mature organic fruit orchard, raised garden beds, custom iron and wood side yard gates, exposed aggregate pathways, bubbling fountains, and lush privacy landscaping complete the setting. Additional amenities include a three-car garage with epoxy floors and built-in cabinetry. Behind the beauty is a long list of premium systems upgrades: a fully owned 41-panel Enphase solar array (installed 2020) translating to no electric bills; a 2024 Bosch 18-SEER upstairs heat pump, AC compressor, and evaporator coil; a 2019 Bryant downstairs AC compressor; and full retractable screens on every exterior door for year-round coastal breezes. The quality and craftsmanship are truly unparalleled, a rare opportunity that will go fast.
