Rancho Santa Fe Home Sale

Enduring Elegance in Rancho Santa Fe Set amidst the storied landscapes of Rancho Santa Fe’s historic Covenant, this soulful 3,082-square-foot hacienda isn’t just a home; it’s a story passed gently from one generation to the next. Every inch of its nearly three-acre expanse whispers of a life well lived: citrus trees heavy with lemons, rosemary hedges lining the garden paths, and an adobe guest casita quietly awaiting the arrival of friends or family. Here, the architecture honors tradition. Arched alcoves, exposed beams, and hand-set terracotta floors provide rhythm and weight to the interiors—tactile reminders of craftsmanship that doesn’t rush. Inside the great room, sunlight pours through clerestory windows, igniting the warm grain of the wood ceiling above and casting soft shadows that change as the day unfolds. Every space feels composed yet completely lived in: the dining room invites long dinners and shared stories, while the covered veranda beckons with the crackle of the fireplace and the hush of a warm evening breeze. From the main home’s threshold to the edge of the pool’s curved embrace, there’s an almost cinematic sense of arrival. But what lingers isn’t drama—it’s serenity. Morning walks through the orchard. The silence between wind gusts. The glow of the kitchen just after dusk. And then there’s the land—119,790 square feet of it—dotted with mature trees, native plantings, and pockets of possibility. It’s a space to grow, rest, and dream. With 24/7 security patrols, a tight-knit community, and access to Rancho Santa Fe’s coveted lifestyle, this estate offers both refuge and connection. This is a home for memory-making. For quiet transformation. For letting the seasons and the years unfold around you.
