The home

About 25021 Rivendell Drive

Tucked away at the end of a cul-de-sac and nestled in a eucalyptus grove, this 5-bed, 3-bath home thoughtfully combines mid-century architecture with bespoke details throughout. Vaulted ceilings with exposed beams and the open-concept floor plan create spaciousness, while walls of glass and wood-lined french doors bring the outdoors in. The centerpiece kitchen features custom white oak cabinetry, marble countertops, and designer appliances. A flex room downstairs makes a great office or main-floor bedroom. Upstairs, you'll find new hardwood flooring, refreshed bathrooms, and a primary suite completed with a fully custom, built-in white oak wardrobe. The back patio offers low-maintenance turf, raised planter beds, and a built-in fire pit overlooking the wooded grove. The home's major systems have been updated, including a whole-house fan and whole-house epoxy pipe lining. When you're not basking in your tree-lined view, you can take a stroll through the walking trails to enjoy the renowned amenities of the Lake Forest Community Association: from the beach, swim lagoon, and the city's titular lake, to sport courts including basketball, baseball, beach volleyball, pickleball and tennis. With mid-century character, thoughtful updates, and a unique forested feel – all within easy reach to Orange County's premier beaches – 25021 Rivendell Drive is a rare find.

Estimate only, not a loan offer or quote. Principal and interest use the Freddie Mac 30-year fixed average of 7.24% (week of Oct 29, 2026); your rate will differ. A loan this size is typically a jumbo loan, which prices differently. Tax and insurance are modelled, not billed amounts; tax uses a typical Lake Forest rate, excluding Mello-Roos. Verify all figures. Full assumptions and disclosures.
