NEW CONSTRUCTION!! Residing in the exclusive new gated enclave of The Oaks at Trabuco, this brand new custom estate is scheduled for completion in 2024 and ideal for those seeking a luxurious countryside escape that belies its city-close setting. Blending modern style with classic farmhouse-inspired elements, the graceful residence is built into its own private 4.5 acre canyon, with views extending up rugged hillsides that embrace the canyon and provide captivating panoramas from most living areas. A long drive introduces the home, which displays a first floor that presents a split four-car garage with glass roll-up doors, a spacious game and media room with powder room, a private courtyard, and stairs or elevator that leads to the upper floors. Ascend a grand outdoor staircase to the estate’s stunning entrance, where a towering foyer opens to a main floor that showcases pleasing natural light, a separate bonus room, an office, and a massive great room that opens to a grand covered terrace through disappearing panel doors. A chef-caliber island kitchen boasts high-end appliances, an enormous walk-in pantry, and an island that incorporates banquette seating and a built-in table.
