A land with a legacy

What sets Rancho Mission Viejo uniquely apart in an awe-inspiring way is the land.
And it has since day one.

The History

Our story began over 137 years ago

What started as a dream shared by two entrepreneurs grew into the largest Ranch in Orange County. And later, the most unique community of its kind.

The Vision

A new idea of what community can be

With a historic cattle ranch, a nature reserve and a home community all within the same expanse of land, the goal has always been to share our heritage with our residents.
