Designed for maximum outdoor enjoyment, and especially ideal for equestrians, this extraordinary gated estate is comprised of two parcels spanning 12 meticulously cultivated acres. Located on the sought-after westside of the Covenant, this secluded masterpiece harmoniously blends natural materials with a timeless design, strategically oriented toward the scenic southwesterly views. The floor plan easily caters to both grand entertaining and intimate family gatherings while separate bedroom wings, including luxurious guest quarters, can accommodate multi-generational living. No expense was spared in creating this paradise playground which showcases a beach entry pool with water slide surrounded by lush landscaping and complete with a full indoor/outdoor kitchen and dining pavilion, bathroom with sauna, and a lounge area with fireplace and waterfall. Recreational options include a tennis/pickleball/basketball court, sand volleyball, and easy access to the hiking and riding trails. A highlight of this property is the spectacular barn with 6 in-and-out stalls, tack room, hay storage, feed room, industrial laundry facility, full bath, and an Old West style saloon which opens up to the covered patio with BBQ and fireplace - a feature appreciated by both riders and spectators. The horse facilities, which include three pastures and a small riding ring, are accessed by a separate gated drive with easy turnaround for trailers. This brilliantly crafted home has a quality, well-designed infrastructure and all the modern amenities with new solar panels, radiant heated floors serviced by a 2,000 gallon hot water tank, app-controlled front gate, and Savant Smart Home Automation that operates all the main systems including security system and cameras, 7 HVAC zones, Lutron lighting, windows, skylights, shades/drapes, pool, spa, water features, and garage doors. There are 3 separate garages totaling 12 spaces, plus plenty of on-site parking. The ultimate entertainer’s retreat and an exceptional haven for the animal lover, this captivating property is ready for endless adventure. The Rancho Santa Fe Covenant offers top-notch schools, social membership to the club, golf and tennis, and a close-knit community feeling. Located just a few miles from the ocean keeps the average daily temperature a pleasant 70.5 and encourages many available outdoor activities including golf (with 6 local course options), hiking and horseback riding on over 50 miles of groomed trails, as well as a multitude of water sports. The Del Mar Racetrack, Polo/Soccer Fields and Del Mar Horsepark are local attractions and the San Diego International Airport and Palomar Regional Airport are both 30 minutes away.
