About This Property

This coastal Spanish retreat is situated on a single-loaded cul-de-sac on a premier corner lot within the quiet Montellano neighborhood of Talega. A rare blend of scale and sophisticated modern design that has undergone a full transformation. Spanning approximately 4,785 square feet on an 11,101-square-foot lot, the home has been meticulously updated with significant 2025 enhancements, including a complete whole-house re-pipe and fresh interior and exterior paint. The interior is defined by brand-new aged oak wood flooring and refined millwork that flows through light-filled living spaces, accented by custom wainscoting and three inviting fireplaces. At the heart of the home, the chef’s kitchen features Shaker cabinetry, porcelain countertops, and a professional Viking appliance suite, all complemented by a functional butler’s pantry with dual beverage refrigerators. The residence is designed for seamless indoor-outdoor living, anchored by a central open courtyard with a custom water feature and fireplace. A new folding door system opens the living area to a resort-style backyard, where a private pool and spa are surrounded by a new built-in BBQ, firepit, and multiple covered patios overlooking views of rolling hills. The highly functional floor plan includes five bedrooms and five-and-a-half bathrooms. The main level features an executive office that opens directly to the interior courtyard, as well as a private downstairs guest bedroom with an en-suite bathroom. Upstairs, the primary suite serves as a true retreat with a private balcony with panoramic hills views and a fully remodeled bathroom finished with shiplap walls and marble mosaic accents. Three additional en-suite bedrooms and a generous loft provide versatile space for a media room or teen lounge. Additional modern conveniences include a three-car tandem garage with overhead storage, Tesla solar, and brand-new water heaters, ensuring this home is as efficient as it is beautiful. Talega community lifestyle provides an unparalleled SoCal experience. Residents enjoy access to a wealth of amenities, including the Talega Swim and Athletic Club with resort-style pools, and multiple sports courts for tennis, pickleball, and volleyball. Over 19 miles of scenic trails and is anchored by the championship Fred Couples Talega Golf Club. With top-rated schools and the world-class beaches of San Clemente just minutes away, this home represents the pinnacle of coastal living.
