Welcome to 273 Montana Del Lago, a truly one-of-a-kind DETACHED residence tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac in the exclusive enclave of Cierra del Lago—the only community of DETACHED homes bordering RSM Lake. This serene cul-de-sac setting offers exceptional privacy, minimal traffic, and a peaceful lakeside atmosphere rarely found in Rancho Santa Margarita.
This architectural masterpiece delivers a striking fusion of art and design, with a thoughtfully curated interior that reflects the owner’s handcrafted artistic vision at every turn. From distinctive architectural details to refined high-end finishes, creativity and sophistication are seamlessly woven throughout the home. The residence features 3 bedrooms plus a loft, and a chef’s kitchen outfitted with a Miele refrigerator, Bertazzoni induction range and dishwasher, Quartz Lumix countertops, marble and engineered wood flooring, a linear fireplace, and custom artistic track lighting.
The loft showcases an industrial-artistic ceiling with exposed rebar and rope, while the second-floor staircase is enhanced by a soffitted ceiling, vintage lighting, and charming brick veneer walls—creating a warm and dramatic architectural focal point. Additional upgrades include remodeled bathrooms, a new primary shower with porcelain and Trex wood finishes, a newer A/C unit, all-new doors with opaque glass, and a custom-designed garage featuring a tin roof, African mahogany storage cabinetry, and track lighting.
Step outside to a private, low-maintenance backyard with artificial grass, landscape uplighting, a freshly painted exterior, and 3M UV-protected windows—perfect for relaxed indoor-outdoor living. The community offers a resort-style pool and spa, and SAMLARC Lake and the Beach Club Lagoon are just steps away, providing effortless access to lakeside recreation.
Quietly positioned on a cul-de-sac and completely DETACHED, this rare offering redefines lakeside living in Rancho Santa Margarita.
