Set high atop a private ridge within the coveted gated community of The Lakes Above Rancho Santa Fe, this exceptional estate offers a rare combination of privacy, panoramic views, refined interiors, and resort-style outdoor living. Set on more than half an acre, the residence captures sweeping vistas across the eastern Santa Fe Valley, creating a spectacular backdrop from both the interior and grounds. A private courtyard entry sets the tone, featuring an outdoor fireplace and inviting seating area. The courtyard also provides access to a separate casita-style bedroom or office, complete with a full bathroom, walk-in closet, and private access to the upper level of the main residence—an ideal arrangement for guests, a home office, or extended living. Inside, high ceilings and expansive French doors create an impressive sense of scale while drawing the eye toward the resort-inspired backyard and distant hills. The chef’s kitchen is beautifully appointed with custom wood cabinetry, Taj Mahal quartzite countertops and backsplash, an oversized center island, and a separate prep kitchen. A generous butler’s pantry and wine refrigerator add both functionality and sophistication. The adjoining breakfast nook opens to a spacious family room with custom built-ins and a cozy fireplace, creating a warm and inviting gathering space. The main-level primary suite provides a private retreat with serene views and a luxurious en-suite bath featuring dual vanities, a deep soaking tub, separate shower, and an expansive walk-in closet with custom built-in cabinetry. Upstairs, three additional en-suite bedrooms are thoughtfully positioned around a versatile central bonus room. Designed to adapt to a variety of needs, the space is ideal for a media room, home theater, playroom, study, or homework lounge. The outdoor living spaces are truly an extension of the home, designed for effortless entertaining and relaxation against a backdrop of sweeping valley views. The custom pool features a dramatic waterfall grotto and generous spa, while a covered outdoor pavilion with built-in BBQ provides an inviting setting for al fresco dining. A gas fire pit, expansive lawn, and mature fruit trees complete the beautifully appointed grounds. Additional highlights include fully owned solar, custom window shades, and an oversized four-car garage. The Lakes Above Rancho Santa Fe offers a private, gated lifestyle within the highly regarded Poway Unified School District. Just minutes away, The Crosby Club at Rancho Santa Fe serves as a premier social and recreational destination, with golf, dining, fitness, swimming, tennis, and pickleball. The Village of Rancho Santa Fe is approximately 12 minutes away, with Del Mar and Solana Beach also within easy reach. Ideally positioned for enjoying the best of the region, the home is surrounded by an exceptional collection of golf, parks, hiking, dining, and coastal destinations, with convenient access to I-15 and CA-56.
