Spacious Living with Panoramic Hillside Views

From the moment you enter the gated front courtyard, this home makes a statement. Inside, an expansive foyer with soaring ceilings welcomes you into bright, open living spaces filled with natural light.

The remodeled kitchen serves as the heart of the home, featuring custom wood cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, double ovens, gas cooktop, and a large center island that anchors the space. A sunny breakfast nook captures panoramic hillside views, creating the perfect setting for slow mornings and casual dining.

Formal living and dining rooms provide elegant entertaining areas, while the separate family room with wood flooring and fireplace opens directly to the backyard, creating an easy indoor outdoor flow.

A main floor bedroom with its own three quarter bath offers flexibility for guests, a home office, or multigenerational living.

Upstairs, the primary suite is a peaceful retreat with vaulted ceilings, a fireplace, private balcony, and spacious ensuite bath with soaking tub, walk-in shower, and dual vanities. The massive bonus room provides endless possibilities including a media room, game room, home gym, or additional bedrooms depending on your needs.

Outside, the backyard is designed for relaxed entertaining and low maintenance living. A covered patio with ceiling fan creates a comfortable outdoor lounge area while the elevated setting allows you to enjoy beautiful sunset views over the surrounding hills.

A three car garage and wide driveway provide ample parking and storage, completing the package.

Life on the Edge of Orange Park Acres

This home sits in the High Horse Trails area just west of the equestrian community of Orange Park Acres, a neighborhood known for its rural character, horse trails, and large estate properties.

Residents enjoy easy access to nearby outdoor destinations like Peters Canyon Regional Park and Santiago Oaks Regional Park, both offering miles of scenic hiking and biking trails, wildlife habitats, and some of the best sunset views in the county.

Locals also love the small town feel of this pocket of Orange. Nearby gatherings such as the Orange International Street Fair, seasonal farmers markets, and community events in Old Towne Orange bring residents together year round. Despite the quiet hillside setting, everyday conveniences, shopping, and dining are just minutes away.

The combination of outdoor lifestyle, established neighborhoods, and strong local schools makes this area one of the most desirable pockets in eastern Orange.

Market Insight: Large Homes in Established Orange Hills Neighborhoods Are Limited

Homes offering more than 3,500 square feet of living space in this part of Orange are relatively scarce, especially properties that combine view lots, flexible floor plans, and established neighborhoods with mature landscaping.

Buyers continue to prioritize larger homes that provide room to work, entertain, and grow. With hillside views, a desirable location near Orange Park Acres, and a layout designed for modern living, 197 N Buckskin Way represents a strong long term opportunity in one of Orange County's most stable housing markets.
