Welcome to Belterraza — a sought-after townhome community nestled alongside Tijeras Creek Golf Course in Rancho Santa Margarita. This spacious and beautifully maintained home is the largest floor plan available, offering 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and multiple living spaces including formal living and dining rooms, plus a cozy family room.
The open-concept layout is ideal for entertaining, with porcelain tile flooring throughout the main level. The kitchen features granite countertops, a breakfast nook, and opens seamlessly into the family room with a fireplace. Step through the sliding doors to an expansive private patio — larger than those found in many single-family homes — complete with a spa and outdoor fireplace, perfect for relaxing or entertaining year-round.
Upstairs, the primary suite offers a private balcony and a remodeled, oversized shower. A long hallway provides separation between the primary and the two secondary bedrooms, offering added privacy. Additional features include an attached two-car garage, ample guest parking, and low-maintenance landscaping with drought-tolerant design.
Residents of Belterraza enjoy access to a community pool and all of Rancho Santa Margarita's exceptional amenities, including the lake, beach club, tennis and sports courts, parks, and more. Ideally located near top-rated schools, shopping, dining, theaters, and major freeways.
