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.

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.

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.
