About 20482 Sun Valley Drive
Exceptionally unique 1.5 acre, mostly flat, private compound, located in Laguna Canyon, three miles inland from the Pacific Coast Highway and the renowned Laguna Beach coastline. A very rare setting with the capability to build your dream home or renovate the on site, existing structures. Centered in nature, but within the heart of bustling Orange County. The most obvious possibility is to renovate the original living quarters. The property consists of three separate structures. The first building has two rooms and two baths. The second building has a kitchen and living room with bath and pantry. The third structure is small guest house consisting of a single room with sink, shower and water closet. The location is on a cul-de-sac at the end of the street, surrounded by 12' high concrete walls. Automatic gates welcome guests into an oversized courtyard and motor court. One you've never seen the likes of in Laguna Beach. Alongside the courtyard is a 75' lap pool and jacuzzi. Private wells provide irrigation for lawns, trees and flowers. Central to the outdoor living area is a eucalyptus grove with mature 80 foot trees. Small citrus grove with orange, grapefruit, lemon and lime trees. This setting is ideal for the person looking for their own sprawling compound surrounded by a natural, serene and exceptionally private setting. This is a blank canvas for something special!
