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, 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. A flexible downstairs room with floor-to-ceiling built-in shelving serves as a home office or guest space, with a full bath adjacent featuring a stylish dark-wood vanity and walk-in shower. Upstairs, the primary suite includes an arched window, ceiling fan, and a custom walk-in closet with built-in drawers, hanging rods, and shoe cubbies. The en-suite bath has dual vanities, subway tile, and a tub/shower combo. Two additional bedrooms with ceiling fans and mirrored closets share a full hall bath. An upstairs laundry room adds everyday convenience. The backyard is a true retreat — a covered patio with ceiling fan, extra large, curved artificial turf lawn, stone retaining wall with bench seating, mature citrus trees, and a second open patio with fire pit area, all framed by the 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.
