Since 1980, Bear Brand Ranch has not only established itself as an esteemed neighborhood in Laguna Niguel, but all of Orange County. With expansive lots, security and guaranteed privacy of being tucked away above the coastline, the 24-hour guard-gated community boasts some of the city’s most expensive homes.
And one of these homes is on the market.
Nestled on a sprawling corner lot, 21 Old Ranch Road is made of six bedrooms and seven-and-a-half-bathrooms across more than 7,500 square feet. It is listed for $7.5 million.
As part of the Bear Brand Ranch community, this Laguna Niguel home puts its residents in short distance from California’s most beautiful beaches. Laguna Beach, Dana Point and San Clemente are all nearby, as are an abundance of trails for hiking and biking, like the Aliso Summit and Laguna Ridge trails.
Built in 1995, the tastefully ornate estate was updated to offer its homeowners a functional home with a visually pleasing aesthetic that highlights the space’s architecture. Many large windows— a number from floor to ceiling— welcome in Southern California’s infamous sunshine, illuminating the sleek interior.
In the kitchen, you’ll find Crystalo quartzite counters and SubZero/Wolf appliances that position you for meals with ease. You can hop up to the island for a quick bite or sit at the kitchen table for breakfast just as smoothly as you can whip up a decadent meal for a dinner party hosted in the navy-toned dining room.
Homeowners who enjoy welcoming guests will be delighted to know the Old Ranch Road has multiple guest spaces. In addition to the numerous rooms, it features a main floor guest retreat and a fully functional apartment just above the garage.
Whether entertaining guests or relishing in all that the home has to offer, residents will delight in their oasis-like backyard, which includes a pool, spa and multiple seating areas flanked by lush palm trees and other greenery. There is also a fully-equipped gym, a space for a library or home office and en-suite bathrooms for each bedroom.
But homeowners will be most charmed by the main bedroom. Inspired by a luxury hotel and spa, it has its own private covered porch with a fireplace and views of the twinkling Pacific Ocean.
The 21 Old Ranch Road listing is held by Seth Nelson, Ariana Gaffoglio and Fredrik Eklund of Douglas Elliman.
