Backing to a private greenbelt with no rear neighbors and sweeping mountain and valley views, this beautifully maintained Spanish-style home in Rancho Santa Margarita delivers privacy and scenery that is truly rare. The Mediterranean exterior features white stucco, a terra cotta tile roof, terracotta shutters, and a two-car attached garage.
Inside, an open-concept floor plan showcases luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout, a gas fireplace with built-in media niche, decorative beam ceiling, and graceful arched doorways. The kitchen offers white raised-panel cabinetry, granite countertops, tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances including a gas range, and a sliding door to the backyard.
The home features multiple bedrooms and bathrooms, including a downstairs bedroom and full bath, as well as an upstairs primary suite, additional bedrooms, and an upstairs laundry room.
The backyard is a true retreat — featuring a covered patio with ceiling fan, an extra-large curved artificial turf lawn, a stone retaining wall with bench seating, and a fire pit area, all backing directly to a lush, private greenbelt.
Community amenities include a lake, pools, parks, tennis courts, and scenic trails. This is a rare opportunity to own a private greenbelt retreat in one of Orange County’s most desirable communities — do not miss it.
