Behind the gates of Lucia Altura, the most exclusive enclave in Talega, one of its twenty estates just became more attainable. The home at 17 Calle Viviana has a new asking price of $4,295,000, down $300,000 from $399,500, a 7% reduction. Set on a quarter-acre lot, the estate offers panoramic ocean, city light, and sunset views. With so few homes in this small, hillside tract, a chance to own here doesn’t come along often, and this one is worth another look if you’ve been watching Orange County’s luxury coastal market.
Arrival and Main Level
You enter through a private courtyard with a fireplace. It’s a perfect place for cool, coastal evenings. Across the flagstone, the grand entrance hall opens to a layout with volume and natural light that works equally well for small gatherings and large parties.
Hardwood flooring runs through most of the home, tying together the formal living and dining rooms and the more relaxed family areas. The main level also includes a separate bedroom suite, a library or study, and a dedicated wine room, along with thoughtfully designed transition spaces with classic architectural details.
Upstairs Retreat
The primary suite is set in its own wing. It includes a spacious bedroom and a sitting area with an ocean-view balcony. The spa-inspired bath has a deep soaking tub and a separate shower, and the walk-in closet is oversized. An upper gallery and loft lead to the additional bedroom suites and a versatile bonus room, currently used as a home theater.
Outdoor Living
This home was designed for seamless indoor-outdoor living, and the rear grounds work as a true extension of the interior. Step outside and the setting changes completely, from refined and elegant inside to relaxed and resort-like in the yard.
The pavilion.
An expansive outdoor pavilion anchors the space. It includes a full kitchen, a bar, and a big-screen TV, so you can cook, serve, and entertain without ever heading back inside. It’s an ideal setup for game days, casual weekend gatherings, and dinner parties alike, and it keeps the host part of the party instead of stuck in the kitchen.
The pool and spa.
A resort-style pool and spa with classic water features set the tone for the whole backyard. Spend the afternoon swimming, then soak in the spa as the evening cools off.

Spaces to spread out.
Multiple sunning and entertaining areas give everyone room to find their own spot, whether that’s a lounge chair by the water, a seat near the pavilion, or a quiet corner to enjoy the view. Stone walkways connect the different areas and tie the outdoor environment together.
Sunsets and views.
Because the home sits high in Talega, the backyard looks out over the same ocean, city light, and sunset views that make the community special. Evenings outside are a main attraction here.
The casita.
An adjacent casita adds flexibility for guests or extended stays. It gives visitors privacy while keeping them close to the action, and it can be a good fit for out-of-town family, friends, or longer visits.
Year-round use.
With Southern California’s mild climate, the outdoor spaces are made for use throughout the year, not just in summer. Between the front courtyard fireplace for coastal evenings and the pavilion in back, you can spend time outside in almost any season.
The Details
The home offers five bedrooms, five full bathrooms and one half bath, and 5,136 square feet of living space, and was built in 2010. It’s located at 17 Calle Viviana in Talega (San Clemente), within the gated Lucia Altura enclave.
