Orange County, CA (1888PressRelease) September 22, 2012 - Groundbreaking plans are currently underway for many of the Covenant Hills custom homesites that closed escrow in the final months of 2011. One of these homeowners, who is moving their family to Ladera Ranch from out of state, shares their perspective about the ease of developing their Spanish Revival style home in this exclusive guard-gated community.

After many trips visiting friends and family living in Ladera Ranch and Orange County, Cyrus and Behnaz Samari decided they could no longer resist the allure of Covenant Hills' impressive natural setting. "The area has such beautiful landscaping and is immaculately maintained," notes Cyrus Samari. The Samaris selected a Covenant Hills homesite that they consider the ideal location. "There are no houses in front of our home, you can see across the valley and all the way to the ocean on clear days. And of course there is that beautiful breeze!" Cyrus shares.

In order to enjoy their new Southern California lifestyle to its fullest, the Samaris are incorporating many elements of indoor/outdoor living into their home's design. "Coming from Minnesota, we are looking forward to living with doors and windows open almost all year," says Cyrus. Their architect, Stan Schrofer of Stan Schrofer & Associates, Inc., has finessed the Spanish Revival's design to optimize the use of exterior space. On the main level of the five bedroom, eight bath floor plan, sliding doors open and disappear into walls creating expansive open areas flowing to outdoor living spaces. Another distinctive design element is the home's casita and entry courtyard, which provide a private outside area to enjoy in the front of the house. This complements the home's backyard, which features a poolside cabana, a large loggia with exterior fireplace, and a complete outdoor cooking area. "For us, having several outdoor living areas was critical," Cyrus adds.

Having built two custom homes before, the Samari's appreciate the challenges in building a home long distance. Yet, after learning more about the resources, guidelines, and the process of homebuilding through Covenant Hills' Design Review, they now feel secure with the level of detail and safeguards in place. And while the Samari's will be making periodic visits to Covenant Hills to view the work in progress, they have entrusted their long-time Ladera Ranch friend and professional homebuilder, Sam Golbabaie of Keystone Design Build, Inc. to supervise the construction in their absence. Mr. Samari notes, "From the start, we have been impressed with the professionalism of Covenant Hill's entire operation."

Recognized as one of the most unique and exclusive family-oriented communities in southern Orange County, homeowners are drawn to Covenant Hills for its open space and natural beauty. This extraordinary environment for relaxed family living is exemplified in the community's numerous parks, private recreation facilities, and hiking trails. Surrounded by more than 1,600 acres of pristine, protected ridgelines, many are surprised by how easily accessible Covenant Hill's Ladera Ranch location is to Orange County's beaches and shopping destinations. This combination of unparalleled lifestyle in such a panoramic setting is a true distinction of living in Covenant Hills at Ladera Ranch.
