THIS CUSTOM LAGUNA NIGUEL HOME RIVALS EXCLUSIVE WORLD-CLASS HOTELS

THIS MONTH’S PROPERTY SHOWCASE INTRODUCES A SPECTACULAR CUSTOM ESTATE THAT OFFERS EVEN MORE THAN YOU CAN DREAM OF. Panoramic ocean views embrace colorful sunsets over Catalina Island as shimmering lights blink on across the city below, and every possible luxury blends seamlessly within a home that rivals exclusive world-class hotels while remaining warm and inviting. Welcome to 6 Jencourt at Laguna Niguel’s guardgated Bear Brand Ranch, where a lofty homesite high on a cul-de-sac street reveals custom water features, a putting green, a resort pool, and a separate spa.

A towering two-story foyer provides an appropriately stunning introduction, with custom etched glass and stainless steel entry doors and interior railings that pay homage to classic Art Deco design cues. The multi-level residence easily accommodates a spacious living room with a dramatic fireplace, library, rec room with wet bar, an office, temperature-controlled wine room storing 1,476 bottles, an oversized formal dining room, a family room with indoor barbecue, 5 ensuite bedrooms, and 8 baths in an array of configurations.

On the top level, a vaulted ceiling crowns the ocean-view main suite, where owners will appreciate a sitting area with fireplace, access to a secondary bedroom, and dual bathrooms with opulent walk-in closets, jetted tubs, and a steam shower.

Deceptive from the street, just one door rolls up to reveal a massive subterranean 10-car garage that spans about 4,249 square feet and presents a finished floor, abundant lighting, and storage. It is joined on this level by a fully appointed workshop and a secured firearm display and storage room.
