About 2 Santa Inez

Welcome to this impressive 5-bedroom, 4-bathroom home tucked inside one of Rancho Santa Margarita’s coveted gated communities. Set on a quiet cul-de-sac with no rear neighbors, this property offers the kind of privacy, space, & resort-style living that is hard to find in such a convenient location. From the moment you enter, the home makes a grand first impression with a soaring foyer, abundant natural light, and an elegant sense of arrival. The formal living room and spacious formal dining room create the perfect setting for holidays, gatherings, and special occasions, while the open-concept kitchen and family room are designed for everyday living and easy entertaining. The kitchen is a true centerpiece, featuring a large custom island, stainless steel cooktop, double ovens, farmhouse sink, upgraded backsplash, stainless steel appliances, wine refrigerator, upgraded cabinet hardware, and a generous dining nook. It all flows seamlessly into the family room, complete with a cozy fireplace and custom built-in entertainment center. A main-floor bedroom with access to a full bathroom adds exceptional flexibility, making it ideal for guests or a private home office. Upstairs, the layout continues to impress. Two secondary bedrooms share a full bathroom with private vanity areas, while a third secondary bedroom is positioned on the opposite side of the home with its own ensuite bathroom—perfect for added privacy. A spacious open loft provides even more options and works beautifully as an office, media room, playroom, or additional lounge space. It can also be converted into a 6th bedroom, with closet space already available. The upstairs laundry room adds everyday convenience, while the oversized primary suite feels like a private resort retreat. This expansive space features a fireplace, room to unwind, dual large walk-in closets, and a resort-style bathroom complete with an oversized walk-in shower, dual vanities, and a separate makeup vanity. Step outside and enjoy your own secluded backyard escape. With no back neighbors, a saltwater pool, waterfall feature, and lush landscaping with mature plants, trees, and fruit throughout the front and backyard, the outdoor space feels peaceful & private. Additional highlights include solar panels, 3 car garage, access to RSM's resort-style amenities, including 4 Olympic-sized swimming pools, the RSM Beach Club swim lagoon, sport courts, parks, trails, and more; while being steps from award winning schools.

Estimate only, not a loan offer or quote. Principal and interest use the Freddie Mac 30-year fixed average of 7.40% (week of Oct 8, 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 Rancho Santa Margarita rate, excluding Mello-Roos. Verify all figures. Full assumptions and disclosures.
