Detailed Introduction Of This Home
On a private street, this gated dream home rests atop a 4+ acre corner lot in prestigious Rancho Santa Fe. Boasting 180+ degree panoramic views, it offers the freedom to build additional homes, a guest house, sports court, vineyard, or even commercial/private horse boarding. No HOA, Mello Roos, CC&Rs, or club fees here – you live free on your land, with no immediate neighbors. This luxurious European-inspired estate has been meticulously renovated and upgraded in 2019. Attention to detail is evident, with hand-scraped wide plank hardwood floors, Calcutta marble countertops, and energy-efficient features, including a premium tankless water heater. Low-maintenance landscaping was added in 2022, and further upgrades, such as a new roof and an extraordinary pool oasis, were completed in 2023. The pool area includes a full outdoor kitchen, dining area, and ample parking.
