The home
About 27562 Lost Trail Drive
Located on nearly half an acre in Nellie Gail Ranch, this meticulously updated residence was remodeled in a thoughtful, multi-year, seven-figure renovation completed in 2024. The transformation addressed the home’s finishes and core infrastructure, creating a rare turnkey property with exceptional quality throughout. Custom shiplap accents, European white oak flooring, and an open-concept layout designed for modern living and entertaining play off the beautifully crafted staircase with solid white oak treads, hand-stained railings, and matte black iron spindles. The stunning kitchen is anchored by an oversized island with seating for eight, with premium appliances, quartz countertops, imported Italian tile backsplash, six-burner gas range, double ovens, built-in refrigerator and freezer columns, custom oak shaker cabinetry, dual fireclay sinks, under-cabinet and toe-kick lighting, plus a coffee and wet bar. The main level includes a full guest suite, private office, powder room, and laundry room with Italian porcelain tile, utility sink and folding counter. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a peaceful retreat with a dual-sided fireplace and spa-inspired bathroom featuring a quartz waterfall dual-sink vanity, soaking tub, imported Italian tile feature wall, custom matte black framed shower enclosure with four shower heads, and TOTO Washlet. A spacious walk-in closet by California Closets finishes the suite. Three additional bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and a large bonus room complete the upper level. Designed for resort-style living outside, you'll discover a remodeled pool and spa with mini pebble finish and Pentair equipment, two fire pits, a grass play area, mature fruit trees, and an outdoor kitchen with Blaze BBQ, double burner, honed quartz countertops, sink, and refrigerator. Sonos outdoor audio, upgraded landscape lighting, and automated irrigation enhance the space. Major upgrades include a refurbished roof with new underlayment and gutters, full PEX repiping, Andersen windows, expansive WinDor folding doors, dual-zone HVAC with all-new ducting, owned solar system with two Tesla Powerwalls, epoxy garage floors, Halo whole-house water filtration, and expanded driveway and side yard with potential RV accommodation. Smart home features include whole-home Sonos audio, hardwired security cameras, Ring alarm, and Nest thermostats. Nellie Gail amenities include equestrian facilities, pool, tennis and pickleball.

Estimate only, not a loan offer or quote. Principal and interest use the Freddie Mac 30-year fixed average of 7.28% (week of Oct 1, 2026); your rate will differ. A loan this size is typically a jumbo loan, which prices differently. Tax and insurance are modelled, not billed amounts; tax uses a typical Laguna Hills rate, excluding Mello-Roos. Verify all figures. Full assumptions and disclosures.
