Property Description

Perched within the exclusive gated community of Walden in Rancho Santa Margarita (also considered Trabuco Canyon), this exceptional Santa Barbara-style residence captures breathtaking sunsets and sweeping panoramic views. The home offers a refined balance of luxury, privacy, and resort-inspired comfort. Thoughtfully designed, the floor plan features 4 spacious bedrooms—including a highly desirable main-level bedroom—plus an expansive upstairs bonus room ideal for a media lounge, office, or additional living space. The 3-car garage includes a versatile converted bay, perfect for a private office, gym, or creative studio. The outdoor living experience is truly exceptional. An expansive ~400 sq. ft. covered California room showcases a soaring cedar-planked ceiling, integrated heater, recessed lighting, ceiling fan, and a statement fireplace. Retractable shades provide year-round comfort, while the oversized BBQ island—with seating for eight—sets the stage for effortless entertaining. Beyond, the resort-style backyard features a sparkling pool and spa, firepit, and sweeping views that create a sense of total escape. Inside, refined finishes and thoughtful upgrades enhance every space. Highlights include vaulted ceilings, three interior fireplaces, plantation shutters, Luxury Vinyl Plank flooring with upgraded baseboards, premium cabinetry with quartz countertops, custom closets, and built-in features such as a charming dining nook and wine bar. Panoramic vistas are woven throughout the home, enjoyed from the entry, main living areas, kitchen, dining space, and the tranquil primary suite. Additional upgrades include a new roof (May 2025), a remodeled kitchen (2023), whole-home soft water system, dual-zone air conditioning, and the added benefit of no Mello-Roos. Walden is an intimate enclave of just 133 homes, offering residents a private fishing pond, pool, and spa—all moments from Rancho Santa Margarita Lake, scenic trails, O'Neill Regional Park, and the shops and dining at Rancho Santa Margarita Town Center, along with top-rated schools, parks, and golf. A compelling new price, unforgettable views, and an exceptional lifestyle—this home is ready to welcome its next chapter. Welcome Home!
