A private, gated estate community in Ortega Mountain near Lake Elsinore—off the Ortega Highway corridor, with a true rural feel and easy access toward Orange County.
Rancho Capistrano is a private, gated community tucked into the Ortega Mountain area near Lake Elsinore, surrounded by the Cleveland National Forest. Known for large parcels, custom homes, and a peaceful “away from it all” setting, it’s a great fit for buyers who want privacy, usable land, and a true country lifestyle.
One of the biggest advantages is location: you’re positioned along the Ortega Highway (SR-74), making it convenient to head toward South Orange County/San Juan Capistrano or down the hill into Lake Elsinore for everyday shopping and services.
Rancho Capistrano features spacious lots with custom and semi-custom homes designed for indoor-outdoor living, flexibility, and privacy. Many properties offer room for RV/boat parking, workshops, guest space, and lifestyle amenities that are hard to find in typical tract neighborhoods.
Because the community is surrounded by national forest and set in the hills, the vibe is quiet and scenic—more “mountain ranch” than suburban. It’s ideal for buyers who want breathing room, starry nights, and a gated neighborhood feel while still being within reach of Lake Elsinore and the Orange County commute corridor.
