About this home

Located within the historic Rancho Santa Fe Covenant, this rare 3.5-acre west-side parcel offers an exceptional opportunity to create a legacy estate with ocean views. The groundwork for development is well underway. Previously approved architectural plans through the Covenant’s Art Jury were designed by local specialists B&W Architects, with additional concept plans available by acclaimed architect John P. Jensen. Complementing the architectural vision, landscape plans by architect George Mercer are also available, providing a comprehensive framework for a cohesive estate design. Prior ownership secured grading and drainage permits, and more than $350,000 has already been invested, offering a meaningful head start for the next owner. Tucked away on a private cul-de-sac and surrounded by premier custom residences, the property offers a serene setting enhanced by coastal breezes and sweeping countryside vistas. Direct access to the Covenant’s extensive equestrian trail network makes this lot especially appealing for those seeking a connection to the community’s storied riding tradition. Residents enjoy eligibility for membership at the recently renovated Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club, recognized among the Top 100 walking courses in America, and proximity to Osuna Ranch, offering boarding facilities and 60 miles of scenic riding and walking paths. Ideally located just one mile from the Village of Rancho Santa Fe, approximately five miles from Del Mar Racetrack, and five miles to the beaches, the property combines privacy with convenience. Served by R. Roger Rowe School (K–8) and Torrey Pines High School, and close to several respected private academies, this is a premier opportunity to build within one of Southern California’s most prestigious communities.
