Spanish Colonial Revival Homes for Sale

White walls, red tile roofs and arched courtyards in San Clemente and San Juan Capistrano.

Spanish Colonial Revival swept California in the 1920s, drawing on the missions and the courtyard houses of Spain and Mexico: white stucco walls, red clay tile roofs, arched openings, wrought iron and shaded patios. Two south county cities carry the style more than any others.

San Clemente was planned in 1925 by Ole Hanson as a Spanish village by the sea, and his early deeds required white walls and red tile roofs. San Juan Capistrano grew up around its mission, founded in 1776, and its historic district and newer estates follow the same tradition. This page gathers the Spanish-style homes for sale in both cities.

What to Know Before You Buy

  • Original homes from the 1920s and 1930s may have older plumbing, wiring and foundations; inspect carefully.
  • Clay tile roofs last a long time but need the underlayment replaced; ask when it was last done.
  • Some older homes are on local historic lists, which can shape what a remodel may change.
  • Many newer homes are built in the Spanish style; the year built tells an original from a newer home.
