Surrounded by Beauty and History

Ladera Ranch is connected to the historic story of Rancho Mission Viejo. Richard O’Neill, Sr. and James Flood bought Rancho Santa Margarita in northern San Diego County and its adjoining Rancho Mission Viejo and Rancho Trabuco in southern Orange County 120 years ago. The properties, spanning more than 200,000 acres, were acclaimed by many as the greatest of all California ‘ranchos. The kin of the founding families have continued to maintain the responsibilities of land stewardship, and established Southern California’s first private land conservancy and one of the nation’s most successful wetlands restoration programs. Because of the family’s commitment, the remaining 23,000 acres of Rancho Mission Viejo continue as a ranching community where citrus groves prosper, open space is sacred and family is first.
