About this home

Welcome to 90 Via Candelaria, a truly rare offering in the prestigious gated community of Coto de Caza. One of only 30 single-story ranch-style homes in the entire community, this residence stands out in both exclusivity and design. Ideally located on the northern side of Coto, it is just minutes from the RSM shopping plaza and Coto Sports Park. With no homes in front or behind, the property offers unmatched privacy, serenity, and sweeping 180-degree views of the golf course, lake, Saddleback Mountains, and Caspers Wilderness Park. Evenings are especially magical, with no light pollution and the rare chance to stargaze under open Orange County skies. Inside, the home showcases vaulted ceilings, real hardwood floors, recessed LED lighting, and ceiling fans in every major room. The living area features a custom white tile wall with an electric fireplace, complete with built-in speaker wiring and TV mount. The kitchen is appointed with freshly painted white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and new lighting. The primary suite includes sliding doors to the backyard oasis, crown molding, dual sinks, a walk-in shower, and custom lighted bathroom mirrors. Additional enhancements include automated irrigation, custom front gates, upgraded hallway and bathroom lighting, and a pet-friendly backyard fence with a stone path leading directly to the golf course. The highlight of this home is the spectacular backyard, where over $150,000 has been invested in creating a tropical paradise. The landscape features more than 100 palm trees—including 40+ rare species sourced from across California. These palms have been grandfathered in, making this the only property in the Terraces permitted such plantings. Fruit-bearing lemon, orange, lime, and apple trees add to the lush setting. Bamboo fencing, layered palms, and LED flame solar lighting complete the oasis, offering shade by day and ambiance for evening entertaining. Residents of the Terraces enjoy a private pool and spa, while Coto de Caza offers world-class amenities including the Golf & Racquet Club with tennis, pickleball, pools, spas, dining, and fitness center, as well as equestrian facilities, a sports park, and miles of scenic trails. More than a home, 90 Via Candelaria is a rare single-story retreat offering privacy, exclusivity, and natural beauty in the heart of Coto de Caza.

Condition Rating
Good

Built in 1988, this property has undergone significant updates that make it move-in ready. The description highlights 'real hardwood floors, recessed LED lighting, and ceiling fans,' along with a 'custom white tile wall with an electric fireplace.' The kitchen features 'freshly painted white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and new lighting,' which are strong modern updates. While the kitchen backsplash and floor tiles appear to be older in style, they are clean and well-maintained, indicating a partial rather than a full gut renovation. The primary bathroom includes 'dual sinks, a walk-in shower, and custom lighted bathroom mirrors,' suggesting modern enhancements. Overall, the property shows minimal wear and tear, with major systems likely functional and within expected lifespan, aligning well with the 'Good' condition criteria for a home extensively renovated within the last 5-15 years.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Rarity & Exclusivity: One of only 30 single-story ranch-style homes in the entire Coto de Caza community, offering unique design and exclusivity.
Panoramic Views & Privacy: Unmatched privacy with no homes in front or behind, offering sweeping 180-degree views of the golf course, lake, mountains, and park, plus exceptional stargazing opportunities.
Luxurious Backyard Oasis: Over $150,000 invested in a unique tropical paradise backyard featuring over 100 rare, grandfathered-in palm trees, fruit trees, and ambient lighting for entertaining.
Premium Community Amenities: Access to a private Terraces pool and spa, complemented by world-class Coto de Caza amenities including a Golf & Racquet Club, equestrian facilities, and sports park.
Modern Interior Finishes: Features vaulted ceilings, real hardwood floors, recessed LED lighting, an updated kitchen with stainless steel appliances, and a primary suite with dual sinks and a walk-in shower.

Cons

Age of Property & Potential System Updates: Built in 1988, the property is over 35 years old. While cosmetic updates are noted, there's no explicit mention of major system (e.g., HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roof) replacements, which could be a future concern.
Absence of Central Air Conditioning: The description highlights ceiling fans but does not mention a central cooling system, which could be a significant comfort issue and potential expense for future installation in Southern California's warm climate.
High Monthly Association Fee: A monthly association fee of $550 is a substantial recurring cost that could impact affordability and appeal to some buyers.
