Why settle for a standard 4-bedroom tract home when you could live in a truly special property that inspires you every single day?
Welcome to 28061 Modjeska Grade — a stunning 2,720 sq ft custom-built sanctuary set on 2.4 acres, offering breathtaking views of Saddleback Mountain and Modjeska Peak from nearly every room. This home is more than a place to live — it’s a place to breathe, create, and reconnect.
Step inside to vaulted wood-beam ceilings, an expansive open-concept layout, and a chef’s kitchen featuring a beautiful marble island, huge built-in fridge, double oven, and walk-in pantry — all surrounded by large picture windows that bring the outdoors in. The downstairs floors are Patagonian Rosewood and the upstairs floors are very expensive old Hickory.
The oversized primary suite is a peaceful retreat with panoramic views, a luxurious full soaking tub, and a large walk-in shower — offering spa-like comfort with the beauty of nature just outside.
Thoughtfully designed for sustainability and comfort, the home includes paid solar, dual Tesla Powerwalls, an EV charger, and separate high-efficiency heat pumps for upstairs and downstairs for precise climate control.
Nestled in the hills of historic Modjeska Canyon, this one-of-a-kind property offers peace, privacy, and instant access to nature — all just 10 minutes from Foothill Ranch and Mission Viejo, and 25 minutes to UCI and John Wayne Airport (SNA).
Discover Modjeska Canyon, a hidden treasure of Orange County, named after Helena Modjeska, a 19th-century Polish Shakespearean actress. Her historic home, built in 1888, still stands today and is open to the public. This peaceful, close-knit community is also home to the Tucker Wildlife Sanctuary, a haven for nature lovers, and celebrates with its own charming 4th of July Parade and a dedicated volunteer fire station that proudly serves the canyon. Outdoor enthusiasts will love the direct access to Cleveland National Forest trails, as well as the nearby Harding Truck Trail and Santiago Truck Trail—both popular for walking, hiking, and riding. ? A rare opportunity to own a piece of Modjeska Canyon’s magic—schedule your private showing today!
