Rancho Santa Fe Home For Sale

From the moment you arrive, Rancho de Los Olivos captivates with some of the most stunning curb appeal in the Covenant—a pristine Spanish Revival estate that looks as though it was lifted from the hills of Andalucía. Finished in 2011 with uncompromising craftsmanship, this single-level hacienda rests on 2.56 acres of fully usable, west-facing grounds and offers 8,207 SQFT of beautifully executed living space, including a detached one-bedroom guest house with kitchen. A gated, pebble stone-lined driveway leads to the home’s striking façade—arched windows and doors, authentic Spanish tile roof, hand-troweled plaster, lush mature landscaping, and an undeniable sense of timelessness and prestige. Inside, the home unfolds with extraordinary architectural detail: Saltillo tile floors, natural wood exposed beams, four wood-burning fireplaces, and a series of custom ceiling designs that give every room its own distinct, artful character. This is true hacienda living—warm, textural, and sophisticated—elevated by modern comforts and thoughtful upgrades throughout. At the heart of the residence is a chef’s kitchen equipped with Sub-Zero refrigeration, an 8-burner Wolf range, Wolf microwave, farmer’s sink, walk-in pantry, and two Bosch dishwashers. The living and family rooms—each with their own fireplaces—open wide to the covered loggia for seamless indoor to outdoor living. The bar and wine cellar are generously equipped for unforgettable entertaining. The primary suite is a serene retreat with a spacious sitting room and fireplace, oversized closets, and views across the property’s olive grove and resort-style backyard. A dedicated three-bedroom children’s wing offers ensuite bedrooms with walk-in closets, a homework study area, and an additional bedroom at the end of the hallway is ideal for guests or staff. Outdoors, the estate continues to impress with a newly resurfaced pool, expansive entertaining terraces, a west-facing backyard drenched in golden light, and complete privacy from neighboring homes. The four-car garage boasts epoxy floors, generous storage, and previously approved plans for expanded guest quarters. The property is further enhanced by owner-owned solar, Tesla backup batteries, fiber-optic internet, whole-house leak-detection system, sewer connection, propane service with auto shut-off, and meticulously maintained systems throughout. A rare blend of old-world romance and modern functionality, this picture-perfect Spanish Revival compound is one of the Covenant’s most compelling offerings—gorgeous, pristine, private, and truly unforgettable.
