\n\tThis\u00a0Shady Canyon Golf Club<\/a>\u00a0is one of Orange County<\/a>\u2018s most exclusive enclaves with captivating rock formations and lush fairways spread across 300 acres in a secluded canyon setting. Its 18-hole Tom Fazio-designed golf course, complemented by a 53,000-square-foot clubhouse, has drawn major league baseball stars like Mark McGwire and Albert Pujols, while actress Susan Egan, the voice of Meg in Disney\u2019s\u00a0Hercules, lived in the development.<\/p>\n

\n\tWhen a hilltop home in the guard-gated community sold in 2023 for $23 million, it marked\u00a0a record sale<\/a>\u00a0for the city of Irvine<\/a>. Local business owners and philanthropists Chad and Cari Peets subsequently invested close to $10 million into a complete rebuild of the property. Vastly different from its former state, the residence just\u00a0listed for $38.5 million<\/a>\u00a0with Rob Giem, co-founder of Plus Real Estate<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tAn over 13,000-square-foot Mediterranean Revival mansion anchors the grounds, which provide sweeping hillside and mountain views. Evidence of the Peets\u2019 multi-year renovation is evident a wealth of marble finishes throughout, as well as hand-troweled Venetian plaster, artisan wall coverings, and sumptuous millwork. Altogether, the details \u201cexpress a distinctly modern European sensibility,\u201d press materials state.<\/p>\n

\n\tBeyond the foyer, the formal living and dining rooms showcase a massive marble fireplace and a wall of French doors opening onto a covered patio. Near the swimming pool and spa, a pool pavilion anchors a terrace with 180-degree views. Back inside, the stone-finished kitchen is defined by parquet flooring, floating shelves, and breakfast bar seating. It is joined by an adjoining family room and informal dining area.<\/p>\n

\n\tSix bedrooms and ten bathrooms are dispersed throughout the house. In the primary suite, wood and stone elements create a striking contrast, while a trio of doors open to a private terrace, and the bath comes with a steam shower and freestanding soaking tub. Guest bedrooms are equally considered with modern light fixtures and deluxe walk-in closets with brass handles.<\/p>\n

\n\tElsewhere, a games and entertainment room sports a built-in display wall comprising five television screens, plus a wet bar and plenty of space for a ping pong table. A theater room and fully equipped gym are situated nearby. Outside, illuminated trees and trimmed hedges provide a tranquil setting. Membership to Shady Canyon Golf Club is by invitation, requiring sponsorship by a current member.<\/p>\n
