Welcome to one of the most exceptional view residences in Rancho Mission Viejo, perfectly positioned on a premier corner lot within Avocet, the 55+ Gavilan community in Esencia. Elevated, open, and remarkably private, the setting captures sweeping vistas and coastal breezes that elevate everyday living. Spanning 2,005 square feet, the home offers 2 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, including a rarely found additional full bathroom upstairs that adds meaningful flexibility for guests and extended stays. Since purchase, the residence has been enhanced with approximately $90,000 in interior upgrades, reflecting a refined approach to quality, comfort, and timeless design. Outdoors, more than $60,000 has been invested into the grounds, resulting in a beautifully curated yard that fully embraces the views and enhances indoor-outdoor living. Whether hosting intimate gatherings or enjoying quiet mornings, the corner lot positioning and elevated outdoor spaces distinguish this home at every turn. Additional highlights include a full security alarm system with glass-break sensors, a resort-inspired backyard with built-in BBQ and water feature, and a thoughtfully upgraded interior featuring premium appliances and a wine refrigerator. Homes that combine commanding views, premier positioning, and this level of investment are rarely available. This is a truly exceptional offering. Beyond the home, residents enjoy exclusive access to Gavilan’s private 55+ amenities, including The Perch, The Hacienda, The Outlook, The BBQ Barn, and The Getaway. When family visits, full access to Rancho Mission Viejo’s award-winning all-ages amenities completes the lifestyle.
