Located behind the private gates of Bella Lago in coastal Aviara, this exceptional estate offers elevated living in one of North County’s most coveted neighborhoods. Framed by lush landscaping and vibrant palms, this residence invites a lifestyle of refined comfort, just moments from award-winning Carlsbad schools, world-class golf, and scenic walking paths along the Batiquitos Lagoon. A grand stone-accented walkway and courtyard entry lead to a beautifully arched front door, setting the tone for what’s inside. An attached guest suite offers its own private entrance off the courtyard, ensuite bath, and new flooring–perfect for overnight guests, multigenerational living, or creative studio space. Inside, a grand foyer with soaring two-story ceilings and a dramatic dual staircase create a striking first impression—balancing scale with warmth. A main-level office with French doors adds flexibility and could easily serve as a 6th bedroom with the addition of a closet. The formal living room exudes elegance with a stately fireplace, coffered ceilings, and French doors that open to the verdant backyard. Adjacent, the formal dining room impresses with soaring two-story ceilings and double-stacked windows that fill the space with natural light—all equipped with automated shades for ultimate ease. The chef-inspired kitchen features granite counters, a large prep island, walk-in pantry, and a bright, airy breakfast nook framed by French doors. The adjoining family room, anchored by a warm fireplace, opens effortlessly to the exceptional backyard—creating a seamless connection between indoor comfort and outdoor living. Upstairs, the primary suite is calm, private, and filled with soft natural light. It has its own fireplace, two walk-in closets, and a peaceful balcony overlooking verdant grounds. The ensuite bath has everything you need to unwind—dual vanities, a soaking tub, and walk-in shower. The second level includes three additional bedrooms—one with its own private bath, and two that share a spacious Jack-and-Jill layout with double sinks. A thoughtfully placed laundry room rounds out the upstairs, making everyday routines feel just a little easier. Offering the ideal balance of beauty and everyday comfort, the serene backyard was designed to take full advantage of San Diego’s perfect weather. Spend sunny afternoons by the sparkling pool and spa, or unwind in one of the lounge areas surrounded by mature palms and lush, vibrant landscaping. A built-in BBQ and outdoor kitchen make outdoor dining feel effortless, and as the light shifts, the custom stone fireplace becomes the perfect place to gather, relax, and let the day wind down. It’s a space that feels both calm and connected—meant to be lived in and enjoyed. The home also includes a split three-car garage—two bays together and a separate one-car garage—ideal for extra storage, a workshop, or creating that dream home gym. Bella Lago offers more than just a beautiful home behind the gates. This sought-after coastal community is surrounded by greenbelts and walking trails, with easy access to everything that makes North County special. Spend your weekends exploring the lagoon, teeing off at Aviara Golf Club, or catching golden hour at the Park Hyatt or Omni La Costa. With top-rated Aviara Oaks Elementary and Middle Schools just minutes away, the location truly has it all.
