Ortega Mountain, CA · 2.53 acres · 4 bd · 3 ba · 3,163 sq ft · Built 1995
This 2.5-acre home is in Rancho Carrillo, a small, rarely seen community off the Ortega Highway above San Juan Capistrano. It has been around since the early 1960s and backs up to the San Mateo Canyon Wilderness in the Cleveland National Forest. The community has its own riding arena, round pen, recreation center, pool and volunteer fire department, and the coast is a short drive down the hill.
The remodeled four-bedroom, three-bath home sits under a canopy of oaks, and the living room has 25-foot ceilings and tall windows. The kitchen has a large island, Thermador appliances, double ovens and a built-in coffee station. Out back are a saltwater pool with a waterfall and spa, fountains and koi ponds. The horse area has six stalls, hay and tack storage, a wash rack and shaded turnouts, with Forest Service trails right outside the gate.
