Rancho Mission Viejo gives you the freedom to thrive. Our story begins with a handshake over 130 years ago, when your word was your bond. Rancho Mission Viejo was founded on the western spirit and the promise of a better life. Over a century of family ownership has taught each generation to nurture and care for the land so that it can care for them. Our caring culture is still alive and well today. We continue to be a working ranch with livestock, orchards, and a nature reserve. Our residents take pride in caring for the land and for one another. We still value a genuine handshake. We know it has the potential to be the start of something truly special.
The land is the foundation of life here. Not just any land, but over 20,000 acres of the most beautiful rolling hills and oak groves in Southern California. Our special relationship with nature is treasured, with over 75% of The Ranch lands preserved as The Nature Reserve at Rancho Mission Viejo.
RanchLife brings everyone together in the best possible ways. Each of our residential villages, parks, pools, clubhouses, sports fields, community farms, schools and retail spaces share the same goal, to encourage and enrich our sense of community. We call it RanchLife.
Variety is said to be the spice of life. The Ranch offers a variety of activities for sports fans, nature lovers, and all-around fun seekers. Discover more than 50 community clubs and resident programs developed in collaboration with some of our favorite local organizations.
