Luxurious homes available at La Vita by Brookfield Residential at Groves in Orchard Hills Village

IRVINE, Calif. - Oct. 7, 2015 - PRLog -- A collection of remarkable beauty, La Vita at the Groves in Orchard Hills represents the pinnacle of your greatest aspirations.  Stunning new home designs that seamlessly blend dramatic indoor and outdoor living spaces with exquisite luxury set the stage for an enviable lifestyle.

Each La Vita residence is dramatically situated in piazzas with shared garden motor courts to heighten your arrival home.  Inside these two-story residences, guest suites and/or master suites share the first floors with magnificent cooking and entertainment spaces that flow into covered outdoor rooms.  The coveted setting of these luxury family homes behind the community’s private gates offers an elevated location adjacent to a working orchard – a setting like no other in Orange County.

“La Vita inspires a compelling reaction from those who tour the neighborhood for the first time to those who have already moved in,” said Mercedes Meserve, Vice President of Marketing for Brookfield Residential Southern California.  “Even in the luxury home market, buyers are not accustomed to seeing a neighborhood that offers the architectural detailing, richness and friendliness that are all central within this environment. By offering classic Italian piazza surroundings, La Vita homeowners have found it easy to visit with each other and it’s been wonderful to watch the community spirit thrive at La Vita.”

Priced from the mid to high $1,000,000s, residences at La Vita range from approximately 3,400 to 3,942 square feet, with 4 to 5 bedroom suites, 4.5 to 5.5 baths and 2-car garages plus additional storage space.  Home designs reveal light-filled spaces and sightlines that provide beautiful vignettes indoors and out.

Gourmet kitchens with expansive islands and adjoining prep/high heat wok kitchens with walk-in pantries, sinks and second dishwashers are ideal for daily meal preparation and special occasions.  Homeowners can also choose to turn this space into a craft room.  First-floor master suites and/or generous guest suites in each of the four residences provide the ideal space for teenagers, college students or visiting relatives.  One of the most coveted aspects of La Vita is the immediate access to the outside.  Homeowners can move seamlessly from inside to out simply by pushing aside the bi-fold or multi-side pocket panel doors to enjoy stunning views of Orchard Hills’ natural surroundings.

Residents of the Groves have exclusive access to the Resort at the Groves, a luxurious, private recreation center that includes everything needed to relax and enjoy your family and neighbors.  Swim in the Junior Olympic pool, enjoy a game of tennis or relax by the outdoor fireplace.  Picnic tables, shade structures, a basketball court, wading pool, tot lot and a club room are also provided exclusively for resident’s enjoyment.

Located in Irvine off Culver Boulevard and Portola Parkway, Orchard Hills Village residents enjoy resort-style amenities that promote and active and social lifestyle.  The village is bordered by miles of trails and paseos, with opportunities to connect with the natural splendor that defines the unique location of Orchard Hills near the avocado orchard.

The nearby Jeffrey Open Space Trail links the more than 16,000 acres of permanently protected parkland and open space.  The trail begins just past Portola Parkway and travels to the Quail Hill open space in the southern part of the city.  Residents are able to enjoy a three-mile-long stroll on the Jeffrey Open Space Trail without having to cross a single street.

The Jeffrey Open Space Trail allows residents to connect to the 22-mile Mountains to Sea Trail, the backbone of the 50,000 acres of permanently preserved lands across The Irvine Ranch.  Outdoor enthusiasts begin in oak-filled Weir Canyon and move south through Irvine and Peters Canyon Regional Park, past the historical Irvine Ranch agricultural headquarters and along the San Diego Creek Channel to Upper Newport Bay.  AmericanTrails.org notes, “There’s no more enjoyable way to experience one of the nation’s most spectacular networks of parks, trails and preserved lands.”
