About this home
Tucked behind gates in prestigious Nellie Gail Ranch, this exceptional 6-bedroom, 5.5-bath estate pairs a beautifully updated main residence with a fully appointed 1200 sq/ft guest house — ideal for multi-generational living or hosting in style. The primary home offers 5 bedrooms and 3.5 baths, including two bedrooms on the main level (one of which is being used as a gym) and a bonus/flex room. An open, light-filled floorplan flows seamlessly throughout, with thoughtful updates found in every room. The detached guest house is a retreat of its own: 1 bedroom, two full baths a sauna, fireplace, separate and private patio with above ground spa and a gourmet kitchen outfitted with Wolf appliances. Bifold doors and windows open to the covered California room blurring the line between indoor and outdoor living. Outside, the recently remodeled backyard is built for entertaining — a resort-style pool with Baja shelf, fireplace, fountain, and multi-sport court, fire pit create endless options for relaxation and recreation. Modern conveniences include smart home features, dual Tesla power walls, and solar power — combining luxury, function, and sustainability in one rare offering.
Galivan, located between Alicia Parkway and Moulton Parkway, is a residential and hillside Laguna Hills neighborhood with curving cul-de-sacs and pocket greenbelts. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Alicia Parkway & Moulton Parkway crossroads, where errands and coffee runs cluster amid low-slung plazas and steady daytime traffic. Housing reads as late-20th-century Southern California—stucco facades, tile roofs, and attached garages—set against rolling slopes. Outdoor time centers on nearby trails and open space, with Aliso Creek’s corridor shaping the local geography. A short drive links to community pillars like the Soka Performing Arts Center, the Laguna Playhouse, and the Festival of Arts grounds for concerts and gallery nights.
