LADERA RANCH, CA – It takes only a simple stroll through spacious Spanish-inspired porticos to know that elegance thrives at the custom estate of 77 Bell Pasture. And while its interiors reflect Old World sophistication, 77 Bell Pasture’s exterior blends seamlessly with the natural setting of the contemporary and exclusive South Orange County gated village of Covenant Hills in Ladera Ranch.
Terra Bella Development, one of Covenant Hill’s original signature builders based in Laguna Hills, joined forces with renowned local architect Eric Trabert to create 77 Bell Pasture at Covenant Hills, a stunning custom residence featuring 6,200 square feet of interior living space, five spacious bedrooms, five and a half bathrooms, and a three-car garage with a front motor court. Exceptional features include a master cook’s kitchen, grand family and dining rooms, and a romantic, brick-lined bistro just outside a wine cellar that leads to a courtyard with a trickling fountain.
“Balance is one of those lesser known but very important elements that make a residence feel welcoming and purposeful,”
Distressed wood beams and ceilings are showcased throughout 77 Bell Pasture in the main living areas and exterior verandas, along with brick stylings that frame the fireplace and selected archways. Handsome wrought iron chandeliers, hand-stained alder doors, rich walnut flooring, a sumptuous master suite with an enormous closet, and custom distressed alder wood cabinetry in the kitchen are included in the list of interior features that are as extraordinary as they are practical.
“Our primary goal was to create a residence that felt like home, yet still possessed a kind of understated elegance,” shared Kerr. “We also wanted to maximize the views from every angle of this property. One of the ways we did this was to create an entertainment area that features a pool and sundeck with a fully-functional outdoor kitchen that includes a barbecue, sinks and refrigerator. You can see the distant ocean from the spa, and the view of the sunsets from 77 Bell Pasture promise to be nothing short of spectacular.”
With backyard vistas that stretch as far as the eye can see, Kerr also noted that the front of the home faces the rolling silhouette of majestic Saddleback Mountain where the sun makes its daily ascent and casts its glow across the green knolls and graceful valleys of Covenant Hills.
And while Covenant Hills enjoys panoramic views of hills and valleys, rugged ridgelines, San Juan Creek, and neighboring San Juan Capistrano, Kerr shared that the sense of community at Covenant Hills is just as impressive.
The Covenant Hills’ lifestyle offers the rare opportunity to escape and unwind while enjoying the privileges that are associated with exclusive, “behind the gates” living. Included among Covenant Hills’ long list of amenities and features is a beautifully-

Cool breezes and trees, grand sky and sunshine; it’s breathtaking, really. The fact that Covenant Hills offers so much beyond the privacy of the gates makes Covenant Hills truly one of the most extraordinary custom estate communities available.”
