Tucked within the gates of prestigious Coto de Caza, this bright and spacious studio offers a peaceful retreat surrounded by open space, scenic trails and beautiful greenbelt views. Located on the second floor, the residence feels wonderfully private, with soaring vaulted ceilings, abundant natural light and a private deck-the perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee, unwind at the end of the day or simply take in the tranquil surroundings. The thoughtfully designed kitchenette includes an apartment-size refrigerator, microwave, induction cooktop, Emeril Lagasse convection oven/air fryer and stainless steel sink with garbage disposal, offering plenty of functionality for everyday living. A large walk-in cedar closet provides generous storage, while WiFi and utilities are included. Residents also enjoy access to a shared, non-coin-operated washer and dryer used by only two other tenants, along with the community pool and spa. One of the best parts of this location is the lifestyle just outside your door. The studio is conveniently located near Coto de Caza's pickleball facilities, with easy access to beautiful walking and hiking trails, the Coto de Caza Equestrian Center and the many recreational amenities that make this gated community so special. Shopping, dining and Starbucks are just minutes away in neighboring Rancho Santa Margarita, while convenient access to the 241 Toll Road and I-5 makes it easy to venture beyond the gates.
