About this home

A Private Canyon Estate in the Heart of Rancho Santa Fe Tucked behind the gates of Las Villas and perched above Aliso Canyon, this single-level Rancho Santa Fe residence captures the rare kind of setting buyers dream about — private, peaceful, and completely connected to the beauty of the land. From the moment you arrive, the home feels grounded and intentional. Warm hand-scraped hardwood floors, vintage timbers, stone-clad walls, designer lighting, and walls of glass create a rich, layered atmosphere that feels both refined and relaxed. Every detail has been curated to bring texture, warmth, and character into the home, while allowing the surrounding canyon views and soft southwestern light to take center stage. Designed for effortless California living, the floor plan flows beautifully from intimate everyday spaces to expansive entertaining areas. The kitchen and family room are bright and open, framed by glass and filled with natural light, while the formal living and dining areas offer a more elevated setting for gathering. A stone-clad game room and custom 2,700-bottle wine cellar add a sense of destination within the home — perfect for hosting, collecting, and celebrating. The primary suite is its own private retreat, complete with a fireplace, generous walk-in closets, a spa-like bath, and direct access to the infinity pool and spa. Three additional en-suite bedrooms offer comfort and privacy for family or guests, while a dedicated office creates the ideal work-from-home escape. Outside, the property unfolds into a lush, colorful garden with fruit trees, flowers, secluded patios, outdoor fireplaces, and sweeping canyon views. Afternoon ocean breezes, hot air balloons drifting in the distance, and golden Rancho Santa Fe sunsets create a daily rhythm that feels almost cinematic. This is a home that lives beautifully — elegant without being overly formal, private without feeling remote, and designed for the kind of indoor-outdoor lifestyle that defines Rancho Santa Fe. A rare single-level estate where architecture, landscape, and light come together in perfect harmony.
