Property Description

Welcome to 16 Mariposa, a spacious and beautifully appointed home located in the highly sought-after 24 hr guard-gated community of Dove Canyon, known for its scenic beauty, rolling hills, and premier Jack Nicklaus signature golf course. Boasting over 3,400 square feet of living space, this residence features five generously sized bedrooms, all located upstairs, along with 3.5 bathrooms designed for both comfort and functionality. The chef’s kitchen is truly exceptional, featuring a large granite center island with bar seating, a built-in drawer microwave, professional Decor range and double ovens, a custom built-in wood pizza oven, wine refrigerator, and two oversized chef-style refrigerators, perfect for hosting and everyday luxury living. Situated on a corner lot, the serene backyard is thoughtfully designed for outdoor enjoyment and entertainment, complete with a built-in BBQ bar, custom seating area, and a sleek firepit for evening gatherings. Heading upstairs, the primary suite includes a recently tastefully and fully upgraded en-suite bathroom, offering a spa-like retreat. The remaining four larger bedrooms share two additional well-appointed 2 bathrooms upstairs, providing both space and convenience. One of the standout features is the expansive private balcony—accessible from one of the secondary bedrooms/bonus room (it has a closet), offering views of the surrounding hills and beautiful sunrises, with ample space for enjoying your morning coffee with your family or relaxing in the evening with friends. This home is ideally situated within walking distance to Dove Canyon’s exceptional amenities, including the Junior Olympic-size pool and spa, tennis and pickleball courts, scenic hiking and biking trails, playgrounds, and the beautiful grass promenade, home to community concerts, movie nights, and seasonal events throughout the year. The community is also centered around the prestigious Dove Canyon Golf Club, offering optional membership for golf and social activities. Located within the Saddleback Valley Unified School District and walking distance to Santa Margarita Catholic High School, this home benefits from award winning schools. This is a rare opportunity to experience refined living in one of South Orange County’s most desirable communities.
