About Ocean Ranch
Ocean Ranch is a guard-gated community in southwest Laguna Niguel, next to Bear Brand Ranch and a few minutes from Salt Creek Beach. Many of its homes look out over the ocean toward Catalina Island.
Housing Stock
CRMLS lists Ocean Ranch in three sections: custom homes, which set the top of the market, and the Residence and Executive collections of semi-custom homes. Lots and floor plans are generous for south Orange County, and views and lot position drive price within each section.
Lifestyle & Amenities
The community has its own pool, tennis courts and clubhouse. Salt Creek Beach, the Ritz-Carlton and Dana Point Harbor are a short drive, and Aliso and Wood Canyons Wilderness Park is close by. Ocean Ranch is in the Capistrano Unified School District.

- Ocean and Catalina views command a large premium over canyon views.
- Shared amenities and the gate are covered by the association; confirm dues and rules for each section.
