About 9 Paniolo Road

A rare chance to lease one of Covenant Hills' most sought-after floor plans (furnished or unfurnished) — a stunning Spanish-Villa Estate tucked at the end of a cul-de-sac on one of the largest lots in this prestigious guard-gated Ladera Ranch community. Perched high on the hill with sweeping mountain views and breathtaking sunsets, this nearly half-acre property offers three distinct living areas ideal for needing separate living areas or those simply wanting room to spread out. The Legacy Collection home spans 4,570 sq ft with 5 bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms across a mostly single-level layout anchored by a stunning open-air courtyard. The main level hosts four bedrooms including the primary suite, two additional ensuite rooms, and a fourth bedroom/office with its own private entrance. A detached casita with its own staircase entrance adds a fifth full bed and bath, walk-in closet, and bonus room — perfect for guests, in-laws, or a home office. The great room impresses with wood beam ceilings, a fireplace, and floor-to-ceiling glass doors that open completely to the courtyard's Spanish tile floors and café lighting — effortless indoor/outdoor living at its best. The chef's kitchen features an oversized island with honed granite, Thermador stainless appliances, a custom backsplash, and both butler and walk-in pantries with a 48" built-in refrigerator. Finishes throughout include hand-scraped hardwood floors, custom lighting, a sun-drenched breakfast nook, formal dining room, Carrara marble and soaking tub in the primary bath, and quartz counters in secondary baths. Recently repainted with fresh landscaping throughout. The expansive backyard is completely private with no rear neighbors — enjoy sunset views from the covered patio, pick fruit from mature trees, or entertain at the built-in BBQ. Covenant Hills amenities include pools, tennis courts, a water park, dog park, clubhouse, trails, guard gate, and roving security patrol — all minutes from OC's best beaches, dining, and shopping. Lease term negotiable. No smoking or cannabis. HOA rules apply. Renters insurance required. Tenant covers all utilities except internet, trash, landscaping, and pest control. — we'd love to find the right fit for this exceptional home.
