The Hahncienda: The Romance of Rancho Santa Fe. A luxurious Spanish Colonial revival style estate, perched on over 3 acres of lush landscaping. This is a rare opportunity to own an original historic Lilian J. Rice period home that seldom comes to market. The home has a pedigree that reaches back in time to the 1920’s and represents an incredible example of the Spanish eclectic-style that was synonymous with that era of Southern California architecture. Sited on over 3 acres, the estate, designed in 1927, offers breathtaking lake views and timeless elegance in the heart of historic Rancho Santa Fe’s Covenant, which today it is revered for its rural beauty, its golf and tennis facilities, equestrian lifestyle, dedicated riding and hiking trails and top rated schools. In the heart of the expansive interior is the elegant Rice-designed living room. A key feature is the Spanish-style fireplace with an oversized breast that reaches up to exposed rafters, another Rice signature design detail. The primary suite is a tranquil retreat with beautiful lake views and dramatic sunsets. Ensuite are his-and-hers bathrooms and dressing rooms, including a fireplace and sauna. The family-style kitchen features custom wood cabinetry, a fireplace and an expansive Mexican tile island with built in gas range and sink. The kitchen blends functionality and style, making it perfect for both everyday gatherings and entertaining. Adjacent to the kitchen is a butler’s pantry, food pantry, wet bar and an office. The home was expanded in the 1980's to include additional bedrooms, a caretaker’s apartment, and a resort-style cabana and remains true to its architectural heritage. With its unparalleled craftsmanship, history, first class amenities and serene setting, the Hahncienda is a rare once-in-a lifetime opportunity to own a piece of Lilian Rice’s architectural legacy.

Condition Rating
Good

This historic Spanish Colonial revival estate, built in 1927 and expanded in the 1980s, is exceptionally well-maintained and move-in ready. The kitchen features custom wood cabinetry, Mexican tile countertops, and modern stainless steel appliances that blend seamlessly with the home's architectural style. Bathrooms are also well-appointed and in excellent condition, some featuring period-appropriate tile work and modern fixtures. While the overall aesthetic is traditional rather than newly modern, all major systems and finishes appear functional and well-preserved, showing minimal wear and tear. The property has clearly undergone significant upkeep and thoughtful renovations to maintain its historic charm while offering contemporary comfort, aligning with the 'good' rating criteria for a property built over 20 years ago but extensively renovated within 15-30 years ago (1980s expansion is 40+ years ago, but the condition suggests ongoing maintenance and updates beyond just the 80s expansion).

Prime Location & Community Amenities: Situated in the prestigious Rancho Santa Fe Covenant, known for its rural beauty, top-rated schools, golf, tennis, equestrian lifestyle, and extensive trails.
Expansive Lot & Breathtaking Views: Perched on over 3 acres of lush landscaping, the estate boasts breathtaking lake views, dramatic sunsets, and panoramic vistas including mountains, orchards, and water.
Luxurious & Well-Appointed Interiors: Spanning 8092 sqft with 6 beds and 9 baths, featuring an elegant Rice-designed living room, a primary suite with his-and-hers baths/sauna, and a family-style kitchen with custom cabinetry, butler's pantry, and wet bar.
Resort-Style Amenities & Additional Living Spaces: The property includes a resort-style cabana and a caretaker's apartment, providing extensive facilities for entertainment, guests, or staff.

Cons

Age and Potential for System Updates: Built in 1927, the property, despite expansions, may require significant investment in updating core systems (e.g., HVAC, plumbing, electrical) to modern efficiency and comfort standards.
High Price Point & Niche Market: The $11.7 million list price positions it in a highly exclusive market, potentially limiting the pool of prospective buyers to a very specific demographic.
Extensive Maintenance Requirements: A large, historic estate on over 3 acres with multiple structures and amenities will demand substantial ongoing maintenance and operational costs for the property, landscaping, and facilities.
