About this home

Nestled on a beautiful sun filled lot behind the exclusive, private gates of Smithcliffs, this French farmhouse is recognized as one of the most well designed homes along the Orange County Coast. Capturing style, sophistication and unrivaled privacy, you can relax pool side or entertain with ease. Vaulted ceilings throughout allow for light and space to capture the ambience. Among the highlights are the professional grade kitchen with abundant storage, well appointed library and exquisite pecan flooring throughout. The residence is enhanced with meticulous details such as the highest grade custom designed hardware, moulding and woodwork. The expansive master suite features a private deck, and an exquisite bath with spa tub, Carrara marble and dressing table. The main level rooms all open though French doors to the magical gardens with mature trees, saltwater pool and tranquil seating area under a grapevine arbor. Its ideal North Laguna location is a short distance from several popular beaches, restaurants and the convenience of John Wayne Airport.

Residential Low Density Zone

This zone is intended for low-density, single-family residential areas, which will provide a suitable environment for family life for residents. The zone is intended to provide a quiet living environment free from rooming and boarding houses, commercial and industrial activities, and, to the greatest degree possible, free from other than local vehicular traffic. All new development in this zone shall be compatible with the immediate residential neighborhood with respect to scale, mass and height. The purpose of this zone is to allow low-profile, single-family residences that preserve existing public and private views and minimize building mass and bulk in a manner that is sensitive to their terrain and to environmental constraints.
