Inside One of Peralta Hills' Most Exceptional Estates

A home of this caliber deserves an approach to match, and this one delivers. A dual-gated circular driveway sets the tone from the moment you arrive not as a security feature alone, but as a statement of intent. The extensive brickwork and mature landscaping that frame the entry have the kind of settled, established quality that only comes with time.

This isn't a house that was built to look impressive. It's a house that has become impressive, and the difference is visible the moment you pull in.The three-car attached garage sits comfortably within the overall composition without dominating it, which is harder to achieve than it sounds at this scale.

At approximately 5,123 square feet, the interior is large but what distinguishes this home is how that square footage is organized. Soaring ceilings and abundant natural light create a sense of scale that goes beyond the numbers, while generously proportioned rooms avoid the hollow feeling that can plague oversized homes. The large windows and doors throughout don't just bring in light, they dissolve the boundary between inside and outside in a way that makes the entire one-acre property feel like an extension of the living space.

The floor plan flows through multiple living and entertaining areas: formal living and dining spaces for occasions that call for them, a spacious family room for daily life, and multiple fireplaces that give each space its own character and warmth. Vaulted and beamed ceilings, warm wood details, and thoughtful built-ins add the kind of architectural interest that keeps a large home from feeling anonymous.

The kitchen has been beautifully reimagined as the genuine heart of the home which is exactly what a kitchen at this scale needs to be. A large center island anchors the space and provides the kind of prep and gathering area that makes the difference between a kitchen you cook in and a kitchen you live in. Abundant cabinetry and counter space handle the practical demands of a household of any size, while built-in appliances give the space a clean, intentional finish.

The adjoining casual dining area ensures that the kitchen doesn't exist in isolation from daily life; it connects to the rhythm of the house rather than functioning as a separate production facility. For a family that cooks and entertains, this setup covers both without compromise.

The bathrooms throughout the home have been beautifully reimagined, bringing a current sensibility to the property without erasing its character. The updates feel considered rather than cosmetic, the kind of renovation that improves the experience of living in a home rather than simply making it photograph better. In a home with this much architectural detail elsewhere, bathrooms that match the overall standard matter, and these do.

The primary suite operates at a different scale than most. Spacious enough to include a genuine sitting area not a corner chair, but a room-within-a-room it offers the kind of private retreat that redefines how a bedroom can function. Generous closet space handles the practical side without compromise, and the large en-suite bath brings the same updated sensibility as the rest of the reimagined bathrooms. Four additional bedrooms extend the home's flexibility considerably. Family, guests, home offices, a gym, a dedicated playroom, multigenerational living arrangements the floor plan accommodates all of it without feeling stretched. Few homes at any price point offer this degree of genuine versatility.

The one-acre grounds are the defining feature of this estate, and they've been developed to use every portion of that land meaningfully. A private pool and spa anchor the outdoor living space with the resort-quality amenity that Southern California weather demands. Expansive patios and lawn areas create room for entertaining at any scale an intimate dinner outside, a large gathering, or simply daily life conducted outdoors the way it should be in Orange County.

The full-size tennis court is what places this property in a category most listings can't reach. Private tennis courts are rare at any price point. At this price point, combined with a pool, more than 5,000 square feet of living space, and a full acre of grounds, it becomes genuinely exceptional. Mature landscaping ties the whole property together with the established, private quality that takes decades to cultivate and cannot be purchased new.

Few properties in Orange County offer this combination. Usable acreage, living space above 5,000 square feet, a pool, and a private tennis court all four, at this address, at this price. That is the opportunity. Peralta Hills estate properties don't come to market often, and when they do, the ones with this combination of scale, amenities, and value close quickly. Positioned at the entrance to the neighborhood for convenient access, priced below comparable interior estates, and offering a one-acre lot developed with a pool, spa, tennis court, and more than 5,000 square feet of beautifully updated living space this is the kind of property that defines what Southern California estate living is supposed to feel like. If you've been waiting for the right one, this is worth your attention
