Guard-Gated Golf Community · Coto de Caza
Data Period: January 1 – April 30, 2026 | Source: CRMLS
Community Overview
Coto de Caza is South Orange County's largest and most prestigious guard-gated community — a 5,000-acre master-planned development in the foothills of the Santa Ana Mountains spanning two 18-hole championship golf courses, hundreds of miles of trails, and approximately 4,000 homes across dozens of tracts. The community is served by two club venues: the Golf & Racquet Club (memberships available to all residents) and the exclusive private Club, offering a second course, swimming, tennis, and social facilities.
Homes in Coto de Caza span an extraordinary range — from three-bedroom attached townhomes near 1,500 square feet to custom estate properties exceeding 10,000 square feet on multi-acre hillside lots. The community's price range reflects this diversity, with sales over the trailing 12 months ranging from approximately $1,000,000 to over $10,500,000. The median sale price over the trailing 12 months through April 2026 is $2,437,500.
Coto de Caza is served by the Capistrano Unified School District. The community offers direct access to extensive trail networks including the Coto de Caza equestrian trail system, making it one of the few communities in the region that accommodates both equestrian properties and luxury custom homes within the same gates. A single staffed entrance on Coto de Caza Road at Oso Parkway provides access for all residents and guests.
The community sits adjacent to the Thomas F. Riley Wilderness Park and the broader Cleveland National Forest, giving residents immediate access to thousands of acres of open space. The 241 Toll Road provides convenient freeway access, placing Irvine roughly 20 minutes away and the coast about 30 minutes in normal traffic.

Market Snapshot
Coto de Caza posted 44 sales in the first four months of 2026, with a median price of $2,125,000 — a modest pullback from the $2,275,000 recorded during the same period in 2025. Days on market rose sharply to an average of 57.7 days, up from 33.4 days a year ago, and nearly half of all sellers made at least one price adjustment before closing. These metrics reflect a community-wide recalibration after an unusually active 2024–2025 cycle, not a structural price decline. The trailing 12-month median through April 2026 remains a strong $2,437,500, and homes priced accurately relative to recent comps continue to transact at approximately 97–98% of list price.
