About this home

VIEWS, VIEWS, VIEWS! FROM THE MOUNTAINS AT ONE END OF THE PANORAMA TO THE OCEAN AT THE OTHER, this remarkable Melinda Heights property captures Oso Reservoir, rolling hills, colorful sunsets, and an incredible expanse of city lights—all from a private end-of-cul-de-sac setting. The remodeled main residence offers approximately 3,300 square feet with five bedrooms and three bathrooms. Beautifully updated living spaces flow into a backyard created for enjoying the Southern California climate and unforgettable surroundings. Spend sunny afternoons in the sparkling pool and spa, prepare dinner at the built-in BBQ, and gather around the fire pit as the sky changes color and the city begins to glow below. Garden enthusiasts will appreciate the dedicated growing area with large self-watering garden beds, making it easy to enjoy fresh herbs, vegetables, and flowers at home. Adding tremendous value and flexibility is a newly built guest home of just under 500 square feet. ADA compliant and fully self-contained, it features its own entrance, full kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, and washer and dryer. It is ideal for extended family, long-term guests, a caregiver, or anyone who would benefit from a private and independent living space. With nearly 3,800 combined square feet, six total bedrooms, four total bathrooms, resort-style outdoor living, and a panoramic outlook stretching from the mountains to the ocean, this property offers a rare combination of views, privacy, and versatility in Rancho Santa Margarita. Enjoy everything Rancho Santa Margarita has to offer, including four Junior Olympic-size pools, the RSM Beach Club and Lagoon, pickleball, tennis, basketball and sand volleyball courts, a splash pad, dog park, scenic trails, community parks, and the beautiful lake—all surrounded by the natural beauty of South Orange County.
