Nestled in the hillside of San Juan Capistrano’s equestrian Stoneridge Estates, surrounded by rolling hills and inspired by nature, it’s easy to fall in love with the casually elegant style of this home. From its undulated walnut hardwood flooring and reclaimed wooden beams, to its arched doorways and 1,900 bottles stacked stone wine cellar, this one-of-a-kind custom Provence estate with its Mediterranean charm and rustic style blends modern luxury with timeless elegance. The sensible floor plan stands out from all others with five bedrooms on the second floor, each with an ensuite bathroom and a large walk-in closet. A generous upstairs bonus room and main floor office/library with built-in cabinetry offers ample space for whatever you need. What really makes this home special is the independent guest suite equipped with its own kitchen, laundry, fireplace and private loggia entry. The primary suite above features soaring ceilings, a romantic fireplace, a customized closet, a spa-like bathroom and a private deck with picturesque views. Characterized by an abundance of light and warm natural shades, the open floor plan is perfect for gatherings both large and small. Guests are welcomed into the grand formal living and dining rooms joined by a rustic double-sided wood-burning fireplace and complemented by a comfy reading nook for relaxing with a good book. The heart of the home is the large chef’s kitchen with abundant cabinetry, Carrara marble surfaces and an extended island overlooking casual dining and an expansive great room. Walls of French windows and doors frame scenic garden views of the sprawling backyard blending indoor/outdoor living on this nearly half-acre lot. An entertainer’s oasis designed for relaxation inspired by a sparkling saltwater pool and spa, a wood-burning fireplace, Viking cook station with barbeque and bar and native California landscape. Zoned for agriculture, there’s a charming henhouse and plenty of space for animals on the property.
