Property Description

Commanding a coveted front-row position within guard-gated Pacific Ridge, 8 Star Catcher pairs timeless Mediterranean-inspired architecture with sweeping canyon and ocean views in one of Newport Coast’s most desirable settings. Beyond the verdant canyon, an expansive Pacific panorama unfolds with a rare sightline extending to San Clemente Island, creating an ever-changing backdrop from misty mornings to golden sunsets. Encompassing approximately 5,010 square feet on an 8,236-square-foot homesite, the residence offers five bedrooms and six bathrooms in a thoughtfully designed floor plan that embraces indoor-outdoor living while preserving privacy. Two sun decks and a charming garden courtyard centered around a reclaimed fountain from Provence enhance the home’s Mediterranean character, while two detached casitas offer exceptional flexibility for guests, a private studio, fitness space, or quiet home office. Inside, generous windows and outdoor terraces orient the principal living spaces toward the ocean, drawing natural light and the surrounding landscape into the home. The well-appointed kitchen balances style and function with a Bosch dishwasher, built-in double ovens, and a range with griddle, while a separate wine room provides an inviting complement for entertaining. Positioned to take full advantage of the horizon views, the primary suite offers a private retreat complete with a fireplace, spa-inspired bath, dual walk-in closets, and its own sun deck. A three-car attached garage, configured as a two-car plus tandem, adds convenience and utility. Pacific Ridge residents enjoy direct neighborhood access to an extensive network of hiking and biking trails, lush parks, two playgrounds, and a recreation center with pool and spa. Just minutes from the beaches of Crystal Cove and Laguna Beach, as well as Newport Coast’s renowned shopping and dining, the location places the best of coastal Orange County within easy reach. With its front-row setting, exceptional views, versatile living spaces, community amenities, and proximity to the coast, 8 Star Catcher presents a distinctive opportunity to experience the Newport Coast lifestyle.
