From the finest custom upgrades to a fantastical resort backyard, this luxurious view home at Clifton Heights in Ladera Ranch is among the community’s finest. Located at the end of a cul-de-sac, the regal Tudor-style residence boasts an elevated homesite spanning more than 10,000 square feet with panoramic valley, hill, mountain and evening-light views. Inspired by Disney pirates, a magazine-worthy 10.5'-deep swimming pool showcases lifelike rockscapes with inlaid fossils, a bridge, Baja shelf, waterfall with secret grotto, and a water slide that is nearly 20' long. Custom lighting, a spa, and auto-fill tech complete the enchanting scene. Grounds wrap around to a patio with a custom Tiki-themed palapa, where a built-in bar includes a Lynx grill and Viking appliances. The front yard captivates with a private fireplace and infrared warmed entry courtyard with wrought-iron gate. Approximately 4,758 square feet, the floorplan is one of the most sought-after and rarely available in the neighborhood, with five ensuite bedrooms, five- and one-half baths and versatile living spaces. A secondary bedroom is located on the first level, and a sophisticated casita with separate entrance is situated at the top of a staircase ascending from the courtyard. A generous loft provides the ideal spot
