Set behind a private gate on almost three and a half acres in Rancho Santa Fe, this Spanish inspired estate pairs elevated craftsmanship with a rare, functioning equestrian setup, zoned RR, with a large flat area already footed and ready for horses. The land extends well past the back of the home, keeping the property private and quiet. Through the gate, the drive splits, with one path curving past mature palms toward the landscaped front entry court, the other leading around back to the garages. White stucco, a red barrel tile roof, arched windows, and a covered upper loggia wrap the front of the home. Inside, rich hand carved hardwood floors, stained wood plantation shutters, and a dramatic curved staircase with custom wrought iron railing rise beneath a light filled two story foyer. The kitchen is built for entertaining, with granite counters, wood cabinetry, a built-in subzero refrigerator, double wall ovens, a walk-in pantry, and a sunny breakfast nook, all just steps from a butler's pantry with wooden cabinetry and built-in wine refrigerator leading to the separate formal dining room. A gas fireplace anchors the living space, which opens through arched French doors to its own private balcony framed by rolling hillside views. Also on the main living level, a bedroom suite with full bathroom and walk-in closet offers single-level living. A laundry room with its own sink and storage adds everyday convenience. Upstairs, a reading nook/office sits at the top of the stair landing, with double doors opening to the wraparound balcony. Every bedroom enjoys its own private bathroom, with custom walk-in closet systems throughout, and the primary suite opens to that same wraparound balcony spanning the front of the home, the perfect perch to take in the grounds and the sunset. A finished basement, already plumbed and wired for a future build-out, adds even more livable space, a true rarity for the area. In addition to the main home's 3 car garage with a generator plug-in, a detached 2 car garage with soaring ceilings and its own bathroom is ready to become a workshop, studio, or the start of a 2 story ADU. Just inside the gate, a large, flat open area sits ready for riding, training, a future pool, or simply enjoying wide open sky, all within the property's gated and fenced grounds. This is more than a home in Rancho Santa Fe. It is a private, elevated retreat built for horses, hosting, and everyday life lived well.
