From the finest custom upgrades to a fantastical resort backyard, this luxurious view home at Clifton Heights in Ladera Ranch is among the community’s finest. Located at the end of a cul-de-sac, the regal Tudor-style residence boasts an elevated homesite spanning more than 10,000 square feet with panoramic valley, hill, mountain and evening-light views. Inspired by Disney pirates, a magazine-worthy 10.5'-deep swimming pool showcases lifelike rockscapes with inlaid fossils, a bridge, Baja shelf, waterfall with secret grotto, and a water slide that is nearly 20' long. Custom lighting, a spa, and auto-fill tech complete the enchanting scene. Grounds wrap around to a patio with a custom Tiki-themed palapa, where a built-in bar includes a Lynx grill and Viking appliances. The front yard captivates with a private fireplace and infrared warmed entry courtyard with wrought-iron gate. Approximately 4,758 square feet, the floorplan is one of the most sought-after and rarely available in the neighborhood, with five ensuite bedrooms, five- and one-half baths and versatile living spaces. A secondary bedroom is located on the first level, and a sophisticated casita with separate entrance is situated at the top of a staircase ascending from the courtyard. A generous loft provides the ideal spot for a media room, play room or second family room. First impressions are magnificent thanks to a double-height foyer with a floating circular staircase, and a formal living room. A custom two-sided fireplace in the living room that is shared with a custom wood-paneled office/library. Entertain formally in a dining room that opens to the courtyard, and host blockbuster movie nights in the family room, which showcases surround sound, a fireplace, built-in aquarium and scenic views. The fully appointed open kitchen features a large island with prep sink, breakfast nook with French door to the backyard, granite countertops with full backsplash, a built-in refrigerator and double oven. Sweeping views embellish the grand primary suite, which hosts a private office, tray ceiling, Bose surround sound, two walk-in closets with built-ins, and a lux bath with tub, separate shower and individual vanities. Hardwood and tile flooring, elegant custom millwork, new interior paint, recessed lighting, custom built-in cabinetry and plantation shutters are included, with whole-house water filtration, whole-house pex repipe, fans, audio and solar power (65 panel) working behind the scenes.
