More Insights

Built in 1963 (63 years old).
Condition: The property was built in 1963, making the existing structures over 60 years old. The listing explicitly markets the property as an opportunity to 'create a truly one-of-a-kind legacy property' and is 'ideally suited for the construction of a grand estate residence.' The property analysis notes that the existing structures are 'likely dated and may require substantial renovation or demolition.' The value is clearly based on the land and its potential for redevelopment, rather than the condition of the current homes. The absence of interior photos further supports the assessment that the existing structures are not a primary asset and are likely candidates for demolition or extensive overhaul to meet modern standards.

About this home

Nestled in the heart of San Juan Capistrano, this rare 3.3-acre residential equestrian estate presents an exceptional opportunity to create a truly one-of-a-kind legacy property. Zoned for equestrian use, the expansive, mostly flat parcel currently includes two existing structures and an operating nursery, offering immediate utility while allowing ample flexibility for future development. Currently the property provides short term income from the residences and nursery which are non-conforming legal uses that are grandfathered. This property is ideally suited for the construction of a grand estate residence with an ADU, thoughtfully designed to capture the scale and lifestyle this setting affords. The acreage allows room for a private equestrian riding arena, barn, and stalls, as well as resort-style amenities including a pool and pool house, an extended six-car garage, basketball and tennis courts, and beautifully curated outdoor spaces. Agricultural potential abounds with room for a vineyard, citrus grove, or landscaped gardens, blending luxury living with the area’s rich ranch and farming heritage. Set within a vibrant and historic community, the property is just moments from the iconic Mission San Juan Capistrano district, where charming and walkable streets lead to boutique shops, lively bars, and acclaimed farm-to-table restaurants. This is a rare chance to craft a private equestrian estate while remaining closely connected to the cultural, culinary, and social heart of San Juan Capistrano. Submit!!
