Built in 2010, the home was originally owned by the Irvine family until 2002. The current owner is Ronald K. Loder, according to county records.

The sale is being handled by realtor Rod Daley of Coldwell Bankers International, who offered the house as a ‘pocket listing’ at first – only advertising it to a small network of the uber-wealthy.

Looking to expand the audience of buyers, Daley publicized the listing earlier this summer.

In his 40 years in the high-end real estate business, Daley has never seen this house’s equal.

‘I have never seen any house of finer quality,’ he told the Orange County Register. ‘This is really special.’
