Welcome to Talega, located in the coastal hills of Southern California. This exclusive gated community in San Clemente is on a serene single-loaded street overlooking the double fairway of the Fred Couples designed Championship Golf Course and the Nob Hill natural preserve. This estate inspired by the French Riviera—approximately five miles from the ocean ‘as the crow flies’—has an expansive floor plan offering everything a large family could desire. This six bedroom, six bathroom old-world crafted villa offers a grand entry with a hand-pieced mosaic centerpiece, wooden flooring, a wrought iron staircase, and thirty foot wood-beamed ceilings. The garden and many prominent rooms were pre-wired during construction for high-end speakers which can be linked to a stereo system. The opening section of the home features a detached casita with a bedroom and a half-bathroom inside being utilized as a theatre on the first floor. A separate space with a bedroom, bathroom, and living room are located on the top floor of the ‘small home’ accessible by its own outdoor staircase. Both spaces are windowed with views looking out to the front garden and the courtyard garden. A formal living room and a large family room both with custom stone fireplaces warm the place. The gourmet kitchen has a large butler’s walk-in pantry, granite countertops, an island, and professional-grade appliances. The master suite features a luxurious bath and a double-doored balcony with a breathtaking garden view onlooking to the golf course below and the ocean vistas beyond. The back garden homes a beautiful pool with Italian mosaic tiles lining a water-featured wall. Attached to it is a heated spa. It is also home to fountain features and plants reminiscent of European gardens. The Talega community is host to four private pools and eight parks with eleven miles of scenic walkable trails. Nearby is the Blue-ribbon Vista del Mar K-8 school. Downtown San Clemente is a six mile drive away. For the serious surfer the well-known Trestles surf is only a nine mile drive away. Dana Point Harbor is a nine mile drive away. John Wayne Airport is thirty miles away. Come and see for yourself. Life is good in Talega!
