A four-car attached garage (882 sq. ft.) with epoxy floors and sectional steel doors provides ample space for your vehicles and storage needs. Recent upgrades include a fully paid solar system, fresh interior and exterior paint, new pebble-tech pool resurfacing with high-efficiency heater, brand-new hardwood flooring on both levels, updated bathrooms with quartz counters and modern fixtures, and custom wood shutters throughout.

Beyond the home’s luxurious interior, enjoy direct access to Whiting Ranch Regional Park and Cleveland National Forest, where hiking, mountain biking, and equestrian adventures await.

Estimate only, not a loan offer or quote. Principal and interest use the Freddie Mac 30-year fixed average of 7.03% (week of Sep 24, 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 Orange County rate. Verify all figures.
