What's special

Welcome to the highly sought-after North Tustin community—a rare opportunity to own a private equestrian estate on nearly half an acre with endless possibilities. This beautifully maintained 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath home offers space, privacy, and timeless charm. A desirable downstairs bedroom with its own private ensuite bathroom provides the perfect setup for guests, extended family, a mother-in-law suite, or multigenerational living. Recent upgrades include remodeled bathrooms, brand-new carpet, fresh interior paint, newer windows, and new laminate flooring. An elegant iron front door and double-door entry create a grand first impression, while crown molding, recessed lighting, and ceiling fans throughout add style and comfort. Designed for everyday living and entertaining, the spacious floor plan features an inviting family room with a beautiful fireplace, separate living room, formal dining room, and expansive kitchen with an adjacent laundry room and half bath. Situated behind dual gates, the property boasts a picturesque horseshoe driveway, offering convenience and impressive curb appeal. The nearly half-acre lot provides exceptional potential for an ADU, pool, guest house, workshop, or equestrian amenities. Rear easement access offers additional flexibility for future possibilities. Outdoor living is enhanced by mountain views, mature fruit trees, RV parking, a pull-through garage, and privacy rarely found in such a central location. The Spanish-style tile roof adds timeless character, while the expansive grounds create a true estate-like setting. Something increasingly difficult to find in Orange County: the space and freedom to embrace a more rural lifestyle while remaining close to everything. Imagine keeping horses, chickens, roosters, goats, or even pigs on your own property—an extraordinary opportunity for those dreaming of equestrian living, a hobby farm, or simply more room to live life on their own terms. Located within the award-winning Tustin Unified School District, including Arroyo Elementary, Hewes Middle School, and Foothill High School, this exceptional North Tustin property is minutes from shopping, dining, entertainment, and major freeways. Properties offering this combination of privacy, usable land, lifestyle flexibility, and future potential are increasingly rare in Orange County. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to own an exceptional North Tustin estate where comfort, convenience, and possibilities come together.
