San Juan Capistrano
San Juan Capistrano offers an enchanting blend of California’s historic roots and expansive, equestrian-focused luxury. Known as the birthplace of Orange County, the city is defined by its preserved adobe architecture and the landmark Mission, which anchors a downtown filled with boutiques and garden cafes. Unlike denser coastal developments, it provides a unique semi-rural atmosphere with a generous sense of space, ranging from historic cottages in the Los Rios District to sprawling multi-acre estates in elite gated enclaves like The Hunt Club.
The lifestyle here is deeply connected to the land, featuring a vast network of equestrian trails, world-class stables, and premier fairways at Marbella Country Club. Families value the exceptional educational landscape, including top-tier public schools and renowned private institutions like St. Margaret’s. With its commitment to open-space preservation and a social calendar rooted in tradition, San Juan Capistrano remains the premier choice for buyers seeking a home with character, privacy, and a slower pace of life just miles from the coast.
