Virtually hidden at the end of a private drive in the idyllic year-round micro-climate region of Rancho Santa Fe, this sumptuous 6+-acre estate ($12,900,000) shines like a rare jewel. Beyond a private gate, a horse pasture, vineyard and some of the most exotic vegetation imaginable set the scene for luxurious living. Crowning a hill, a generously proportioned custom residence with 6 bedrooms, 6 full baths, and 2 half baths was newly built in 2014 and presents magnificent views, mature landscaping, and a resort-style pool with swim-up bar and a grotto covered by cascading waterfalls. Classic and elegantly designed utilizing 17th Century fireplaces, reclaimed timbers, large-format marble and wide-plank French oak floors, this-one-of-a-kind estate seems as if it could have been built 100 years ago. Antiqued Habersham custom cabinets and handmade Tabarka tile throughout are further evidence of the timeless quality of this estate. Timeless indeed, but possessing all of the high-tech features that only a newly built custom home can offer. Covered patios with an indoor/outdoor design create additional living space and provide panoramic views stretching all of the way to the ocean. A private horse trail easement leads to more than 40 miles of equestrian trails in the Covenant of Rancho Santa Fe. The Bridges and Rancho Santa Fe Golf Clubs, Rancho Santa Fe’s charming Village, outstanding schools, and miles of beaches are all within easy reach.
