Behind the gates of iconic Shady Canyon, where estate homes blend harmoniously with nature, this French Provincial estate is a masterclass in architectural grace and enduring sophistication. Positioned on an expansive lot with panoramic views of preserved hillsides and rolling canyons, the home feels worlds away- yet remains minutes from the vibrancy of Orange Countys coastal and cultural attractions. The home opens with a formal living room anchored by a limestone fireplace and sweeping views beyond a wall of French doors. Sunlight filters through illuminating hand-finished walls, beamed ceilings, and herringbone wood floors that move seamlessly throughout. The kitchen, warm and welcoming, is outfitted in bespoke cabinetry and accented with artisanal tile work. It transitions naturally into the family room, where a custom bar offers a sophisticated focal point for casual gatherings. From here, the space opens to outdoor terraces where soft breezes and hillside stillness elevate every open-air moment. A separate dining room and salon offer elegant venues for entertaining. At the heart of the home lies a stunning game room-library, a richly layered retreat with custom built-ins, serene views of the lush grounds, and space to unwind or gather. Alternately, this dynamic space can serve as the fifth en suite bedroom. On the second level, the primary suite occupies its own private wing, with a spa-like bath, dressing room, and garden-framed views that meet unbroken vistas of the surrounding hills that foster serenity. Additional guest suites echo the same understated elegance and include a main-level junior primary suite which offers the scale and comfort of a full primary retreat and private access to the grounds- ideal for guests, extended family, or those seeking single-level living. Outdoors, the landscaping is nothing short of poetic: manicured hedges and olive trees evoke a European countryside, while tiered gardens, a tranquil zero-edge pool, and uninterrupted sight lines to untouched terrain create a daily experience of retreat. A built-in barbecue and adjacent fireplace sitting area invite relaxed dining and fireside conversation. Also noteworthy is the upstairs bonus room currently serving as a den or media space, elevator, and 3 car garage with gated motor court. Live artfully, privately, and completely with Shady Canyons amenities offering 24-hour guard gates, cycling and walking trails, pickleball, tennis, swim facilities, playground and more.
