About 24 Water Lily
Introducing 24 Water Lily Way, an extraordinary 4 bedroom, 5 bath, 2 office estate in Southern Hills Encore within the prestigious guard-gated community of Coto de Caza. Golf course adjacent this residence embodies the elevated lifestyle of one of Orange County’s most coveted enclaves. A private courtyard and custom arched glass entry set the tone for the grandeur within - soaring ceilings, a sweeping circular staircase, timeless travertine, luxury vinyl, crown molding, cased windows and gorgeous shutters. Owned solar, PEX repiped, a new downstairs AC unit and newer water heater provide modern peace of mind behind the home’s refined elegance. The formal dining room adorned with a striking coffered ceiling crowns cherished celebrations, while the formal living room showcases a majestic fireplace, lofty double-height ceiling and opens to a private courtyard. At the heart of the home, the expansive family room with warm wood built-ins and fireplace opens to a sunlit breakfast nook and chef’s kitchen —all framed with windows capturing backyard and championship golf course views. Here, entertaining becomes an art form. Set against the exclusive South Course—an 18-hole masterpiece designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr.—the backyard is your private resort: in-ground spa, tranquil water features, built-in bar with bbq, sink & cooler, custom wood burning fireplace and multiple hosting areas ready for unforgettable gatherings. Designed for both grand entertaining and life’s evolving chapters, the floorplan offers exceptional versatility with a main-level bedroom including ensuite remodeled bath. A richly appointed office completes the downstairs. Upstairs, the home unfolds into two private wings connected by a dramatic catwalk. The primary suite, privately positioned in its own east wing, offers breathtaking views, a fireplace retreat, remodeled spa-inspired bath with soaking tub, oversized shower, dual walk-in closets and a view balcony. The west wing features a built-in office and two additional bedrooms with ensuite full baths, one with a covered balcony. The epoxy-finished three-car garage with built-in racks & cabinetry adds polished functionality. Moments from trails, parks, equestrian facilities and the Coto de Caza Golf & Racquet Club, this grand estate is more than a home—it is a legacy property designed for elevated everyday living, inspired entertaining and a lifetime of beautiful memories.
