40500 Via Tapadero

40500 Via Tapadero, a beautifully located single-story 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom retreat in The Colony at California Oaks, one of Murrieta's most sought-after guard-gated 55+ active adult communities. Built around a scenic 18-hole golf course and framed by rolling hills, The Colony offers residents a resort-style lifestyle centered around a stunning clubhouse complete with a fitness center, grand ballroom, theater, library, billiards room, and beauty salon, along with outdoor amenities including a pool, spa, tennis courts, bocce ball, shuffleboard, and miles of scenic walking and biking trails — all included in an HOA. This 1,754 sq. ft. home sits on a 5,662 sq. ft. lot with a 2-car attached garage, driveway parking, central air, a cozy family room fireplace, and a covered patio overlooking a peaceful rear view — the perfect spot to unwind after a day on the greens or an afternoon with friends at the clubhouse. Beyond the gates, life here is just as vibrant: you're minutes from Murrieta and Temecula's best shopping and dining, a short drive from the renowned wineries and tasting rooms of Temecula Valley wine country, and close to Pechanga Resort Casino and Old Town Temecula's charming boutiques and restaurants. Golf enthusiasts will love easy access to nearby courses like Cross Creek Golf Club and The Golf Club at Rancho California, while outdoor lovers can explore Diamond Valley Lake for fishing and boating, or head toward the San Jacinto and San Gorgonio Mountains for hiking and mountain views. With convenient access to both the I-15 and I-215 freeways, you're also well-positioned for day trips to San Diego, Orange County, and Palm Springs. This is more than a home — it's an invitation to enjoy an active, connected, low-maintenance lifestyle in one of Southern California's premier 55+ communities.
