The primary suite opens directly to the backyard and its own romantic porch, creating a peaceful retreat overlooking the expansive yard. The guest bedroom is ideally positioned at the front of the home, offering privacy & separation from the primary suite. An exceptional and highly uncommon feature is 'La Casita', a detached studio-style guest cottage that adds tremendous versatility and value. Complete with vaulted ceilings, a kitchenette, updated bathroom & private entrance, this charming living space meets the needs of many. Outside, the generous flat lot has been thoughtfully landscaped with native plantings that provide year-round color, texture and beauty. From the front yard, enjoy views of the Mission Basilica and the surrounding historic landscape. The home is located approximately one-half mile from the iconic Mission San Juan Capistrano, founded in 1776, and offers exceptional walkability to downtown SJC.

It is rare that a property in a true historic district ever comes to market. Most of these iconic residences are passed quietly from one generation to the next. For only the second time in 53 years, this one-of-a-kind location is now available to the public. Resting on a prominent corner lot directly across from the San Juan Capistrano library and just steps from the Historic Mission Basilica, this extraordinary home places you in the very heart of downtown San Juan Capistrano. From your own courtyard, you can hear the church bells ring—an experience few will ever know. Architectural details reflect the timeless craftsmanship of another era: arched walls, open-beam ceilings, original lath and plaster, hardwood floors, and a classic clay tile roof. The home offers a formal dining room, a separate family room with walls of glass, and a layout designed for both elegant entertaining and everyday living. From nearly every window, the views tell the story of the historic city beyond the glass. The property offers two distinct courtyard settings—one enclosed, where indoor living becomes an outdoor experience, and the other framed by privacy hedges and stone walls, creating a serene and intimate retreat. A truly irreplaceable opportunity in one of California’s most storied locations.

Historic Creekside Cabin in Gated Forest Service Retreat – Hot Springs Canyon This 1926 creekside cabin is part of a rare gated Forest Service retreat in the Santa Ana Mountains, just 12 miles from San Juan Capistrano along the scenic Ortega Highway. One of only 14,000 remaining in the U.S., it’s part of America’s first Recreation Residence Program—established by Congress and signed into law by President Theodore Roosevelt in 1915 to provide families with recreational experiences in our National Forests. The cabin and its improvements are privately owned, while the land is permitted through the U.S. Forest Service. Set within the Trabuco District of the Cleveland National Forest and bordered by picturesque Hot Springs Creek, this unique retreat offers a tranquil, back-to-nature experience only minutes from downtown San Juan Capistrano, San Clemente, and Dana Point. Inside the approximately 1,100 sq. ft. cabin, vintage charm meets thoughtful updates. Features include an Oregon wood-burning stove, thermostat-controlled gas heat, in-wall air conditioning, skylights, and clerestory windows that fill the living spaces with natural light. The primary bedroom’s 16-foot bay window overlooks the creek in both directions, while a stained-glass window casts a warm glow across the smaller bathroom each morning. Three additional rooms provide flexible use as guest rooms, office, or storage. Modern comforts include the availability of satellite internet, a full kitchen, washer and dryer, and a propane-powered backup generator—all while preserving the authentic 1920s cabin style. The current Forest Service permit is valid through 2028, with renewal approved through 2058. Surrounded by pristine wilderness, this small community of just fourteen cabins enjoys privacy, shared stewardship, and an enduring connection to nature. No additional cabins will ever be built here—ensuring peace, quiet, and unobstructed forest views for generations to come. Watch red-tailed hawks soar by day and listen to the owls hoot at night. Hike nearby trails, explore the creek, and experience a living piece of California’s natural and cultural history. Cash only sale. No financing currently available for Forest Service cabins. Listing has supplements. Please read.
