About this home

Privately gated Single-Level Spanish Hacienda Estate on 2.43 flat acres in Rancho Santa Fe's West Side Covenant. This 5,804-sq-ft home wraps around a large central courtyard where two covered patios frame a resort-style pool and spa. The authentic Spanish Colonial architecture showcases craftsmanship rarely found today. Wide hallways flow under high vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, while Saltillo tile warms the space throughout. Multiple adobe fireplaces anchor living spaces, and French doors open out to the courtyard for seamless indoor-outdoor living. 5 bedrooms, 5.5 baths, plus a bonus room and dedicated art studio offer plenty of space to spread out. Dual gated entrances and expansive grounds with open views to the west offer opportunities for expansion or additional structures. Located just 5 miles from the Pacific Ocean and 2 miles from Rancho Santa Fe’s Historic Village, dining, shops, and top-ranked public and private schools. Close to private golf clubs and equestrian trails, 30 minutes to private and international airports, 100 miles to LAX, and convenient to the San Diego Marina.

Condition Rating
Fair

Built in 1980, this Spanish Hacienda estate is exceptionally well-maintained and retains its authentic architectural charm. While the property is move-in ready and features updated appliances in the kitchen, the distressed wood cabinetry and some of the bathroom finishes, though clean and functional, appear to be from a renovation approximately 15-25 years ago. These elements, while not in disrepair, show signs of being stylistically outdated compared to current trends. The Saltillo tile flooring is consistent with the architectural style and well-preserved, and the overall structure is sound. However, the age of the last significant interior updates in key areas like the kitchen and bathrooms places it in the 'Fair' category, indicating that a buyer seeking modern aesthetics would likely consider minor updates.

Cons

Significant Monthly Association Fees: A monthly association fee of $650 adds a considerable recurring cost to ownership, which could be a factor for potential buyers.
