Property has Leased Solar. Located within a prestigious 24-hour guard-gated community, and as a resident of Dove Canyon, you’ll enjoy access to a Jr. Olympic pool, tennis courts, pickleball court, sport court, playground, and scenic trails with access to hiking, biking and horse trails. You will also have the option to join Dove Canyon Golf Club, a Jack Nicklaus Signature design with dining, wine room, gym and more.
Dove Canyon, located between Rancho Santa Margarita and Trabuco Canyon, is a gated and golf-oriented Rancho Santa Margarita neighborhood with a private country-club setting and canyon-edge views. The neighborhood’s character concentrates at the Dove Canyon Golf Club clubhouse, where fairway greens, patio tables, and after-round chatter set the tone. Architecture leans Mediterranean and Spanish Revival, with tiled roofs, arched entries, and manicured streetscapes shaped by the course and surrounding open space. The landscape reads as chaparral hills and oak pockets, with winding roads that follow the terrain. Daily rhythms orbit tee times, walking loops, and quiet cul-de-sacs rather than a commercial main street.
