8 Bedroom | 11 Bathroom | 21,000 Square Feet | 137 Acres

The Lyon Estate is a once-in-a-generation compound spanning 137 acres within Orange County's prestigious, private and gated community of Coto de Caza.

Built in 1986 by US Air Force Reserve Commander and real estate magnate Major General William Lyon and his wife Willa Dean Lyon, this stately 21,000-square-foot Georgian. Created as their dream family home, the estate has welcomed many distinguished guests over the years, including President Ronald Reagan and First Lady Nancy Reagan.

From its elevated position, this property commands breathtaking mountain views, balancing romantic, classical architecture with coastal California splendor.

The Lyon Estate’s three-level main residence encompasses 8 bedrooms, 11 baths and boasts meticulous design details at every turn, from its coffered wood ceilings and intricate crown moldings, to its ornate light fixtures, and walls of windows that frame gorgeous views of the grounds and views beyond.
