Welcome to 44 Tierra Montanosa, a beautifully upgraded, turnkey home in one of Rancho Santa Margarita’s most desirable communities. This 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom residence offers stunning Saddleback Mountain views and a peaceful, tree-lined setting—while being just minutes from top-rated schools, shopping, and dining.
Inside, you’ll find an open-concept layout with soaring ceilings, large windows, and luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout. The bright and inviting living space features new stand-alone lighting, a renovated fireplace, and modernized light fixtures and switches.
The fully remodeled kitchen showcases painted cabinetry, new countertops, stylish backsplash, upgraded sink and faucet, and premium appliances, including a Samsung Smart Refrigerator, Smart Oven, Bosch Dishwasher, and Samsung Washer and Dryer.
A main-level bedroom and full bath offer flexibility for guests or a home office. Upstairs, two spacious en-suite bedrooms include a luxurious primary suite with a custom walk-in closet, double vanity with barn door and smart mirrors, and a spa-like bathroom with a rain shower.
Thoughtfully maintained, the home also includes a 3-year-old HVAC and water heater, new garage door mechanisms, full-house water filtration system with reverse osmosis, upgraded stairs and baseboards, and lighted ceiling fans in every room. Additional highlights include a renovated walk-in closet, Vivint smart security system (fully paid), a 48A Level 2 EV charger, and fresh paint throughout most of the home. The HOA recently replaced the roof and sealed the skylight.
Enjoy outdoor entertaining on the private patio, or take advantage of the resort-style community amenities just a short walk away, including a renovated Olympic pool, spa, pickleball and basketball courts, baseball field, BBQ area, and event space. The home also offers a two-car garage, guest parking pass, and nearby street parking.
Located near award-winning Melinda Heights Elementary and Trabuco Hills High School—and with NO Mello-Roos taxes—this home combines modern comfort with unbeatable location and lifestyle. Don’t miss the chance to make it yours!
