The Land

Life at Rancho Mission Viejo starts with the land. Not just any land, but 23,000 acres of the most beautiful rolling hills, meandering meadows, oak groves, creeks, canyons and orchards in all of Southern California. Discover a deeper and more authentic connection to the great outdoors with an abundance of scenic views, trails, parks, farms and open spaces that offer more peace of mind and room to roam. Our unique connection to nature is cherished and protected with over 75% of The Ranch lands preserved as The Nature Reserve at Rancho Mission Viejo.

Historic Cattle Ranch

A Culture of Care
with Deep Roots

We’ve been ranching this land for over 140 years. Cow Camp functions as the heart of the community’s ranching operations and is the place for ranch hands to gather at dawn for the day’s assignments and at dusk to review the day’s accomplishments.

Orchards

A Good Place to
Grow and Thrive

Our abundant lemon and avocado orchards surround the community and a few times a year, residents are able to enjoy the harvested fruits picked right at their ripest, because we know that if you take care of the land, it will take care of you.
