The Stetson Story
A legacy reimagined in Coastal Orange County
Originally constructed in 1980, 26622 Stetson Place was lovingly maintained by the same family for over 40 years. Nestled on a quiet cul-de-sac in the heart of Nellie Gail Ranch, one of Coastal Orange County’s most iconic equestrian communities, the property served as a place of comfort, connection, and generational memories. For decades, its walls witnessed holidays, milestones, and everyday moments in a setting prized for its privacy, spaciousness, and enduring charm.
In 2024, the property changed hands for the first time—marking the beginning of a new chapter. The current owner, recognizing the irreplaceable location and foundational potential of the home, undertook a complete, fully permitted transformation. Over the course of nearly a year, the residence was not merely renovated—it was rebuilt from the ground up, with more than $1 million invested in both infrastructure and design.
From a brand-new Presidential 50-year roof, PEX plumbing system, and 200-amp electrical panel, to dual-zone HVAC systems with quad fans and high-efficiency heat pumps, every component of the home was modernized to meet and exceed today’s standards of luxury living. Inside, the home features Level 5 smooth-coated walls, a hallmark of high-end construction, and carefully curated finishes that reflect a blend of contemporary elegance and timeless appeal.
The centerpiece of the home is a chef’s kitchen equipped with Viking professional-grade appliances, a sculptural waterfall island, and seamless flow into expansive indoor and outdoor living spaces. A dramatic 18-foot by 8-foot glass wall opens to a 750 sq ft deck, inviting natural light and hillside views into the heart of the home.
The primary suite offers a spa-inspired retreat, featuring a custom wet room bath with a luxurious rain shower, freestanding soaking tub, and full-height designer tilework. Secondary bathrooms continue the same elevated aesthetic with floor-to-ceiling tile finishes and bespoke fixtures.
The three-quarter-acre lot—positioned in one of the community’s few true cul-de-sacs, far removed from the busy through-streets that define much of Nellie Gail—offers rare tranquility and space for future amenities. With zoning for horses, direct access to riding trails, and an ultra-rare 75-foot gated RV access, the property merges equestrian versatility with modern estate functionality.
26622 Stetson Place is more than a newly rebuilt luxury residence. It is a thoughtfully reimagined legacy property, where the story of one family has given rise to a new era of elevated living. With its unmatched privacy, meticulous craftsmanship, and premier location in Coastal Orange County, the next chapter is ready to be written.
