About 30 Santa Inez

Welcome to one of Rancho Santa Margarita’s most impressive home inside a private gated community, just minutes from RSM Lake and surrounded by award-winning schools. With a low HOA and low tax rate, this home offers the rare combination of luxury, privacy, and long-term value. From the moment you walk through the brand-new custom front door, you’ll feel the difference. Every detail has been thoughtfully upgraded to create a clean, modern look that feels like a professionally designed model home. The entire interior showcases luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout, paired with 8-inch baseboards, fresh interior paint, and updated lighting for an elevated finish. The floor plan is both expansive and versatile, offering 5 bedrooms and 4 full bathrooms, including a highly desirable main-floor bedroom with direct access to a full bath; perfect for guests or extended family. At the heart of the home is a massive open kitchen designed for gathering. Featuring white shaker cabinetry, quartz countertops, a farmhouse sink, newer appliances, and an oversized island, the space flows seamlessly into the family room and dining area, highlighted by custom wainscoting. It’s bright, open, and built for entertaining. Ascending up the stairs completed with new railing, you’ll find four additional bedrooms, all finished with matching LVP flooring, upgraded bathrooms with custom shower doors, and a beautifully remodeled laundry room. A spacious loft provides flexibility for a media room, office, or can easily be converted into a 6th bedroom per the original builder option. The primary suite occupies its own quiet wing of the home, creating a true retreat. Enjoy dual walk-in closets, a soaking tub, and a separate walk-in shower — a private space designed for relaxation. Step outside and you’ll see the care continues. The backyard has been completely redesigned with artificial turf, vinyl fencing, and an Elite-Wood Ultra insulated patio cover complete with recessed lighting and a ceiling fan — creating a comfortable, year-round outdoor living experience. For added peace of mind, the home has been fully repiped, every window fitted with new Milgard windows, a new garage door, and fresh exterior paint. Simply put, it feels new — because nearly everything is. Homes with this level of finish, space, and location inside a gated Rancho Santa Margarita community rarely come available. This is the kind of property that checks every box; style, function, and location; all in one.
