Some homes are built, and some are crafted to stand the test of time. Welcome to this extraordinary Rancho Santa Fe Covenant estate—where architectural mastery meets timeless elegance, and every detail tells a story of luxury, craftsmanship, and effortless living. Designed by the renowned architect Andrew Wright and brought to life by master builder Steve Sharratt, this 5.69-acre property is more than a home; it’s a legacy. Framed by exquisite landscapes designed by acclaimed landscape architect Theresa Clarke, this estate blends natural beauty with timeless sophistication in one of Southern California’s most coveted enclaves. From the moment you arrive, the understated gated entrance sets the tone—a seamless blend of quiet luxury and intimacy. Sunlight pours through soaring ceilings, casting a warm glow on refinished walnut wood floors, hand-painted loggias, and custom Conrad shades. Designed to erase the boundaries between indoors and out, the estate invites fresh coastal breezes and natural light into every corner. The chef’s kitchen is both a work of art and a hub of daily life, featuring a Calacatta marble island, Esmeralda quartzite countertops, and a disappearing window that opens to a breathtaking courtyard. A temperature-controlled wine room, home theater ready space, snack bar and half bath elevate the lower level, creating a perfect setting for entertainment and relaxation. Beyond the main residence, luxury extends to every part of the estate. The guesthouse is more than just a place to stay—it’s a private sanctuary complete with a full kitchen, laundry, loft, and private patios. Whether hosting guests, accommodating extended family, or enjoying your own peaceful retreat, this space offers both comfort and independence. Outdoors, the estate transforms into a private resort, where every day feels like a five-star getaway. The resort-style pergola offers a seamless retreat with built-in seating around a fire pit and a dining space, perfect for sunrise swims and sunset gatherings. For those who embrace an active lifestyle, this property offers unparalleled amenities. The newly resurfaced tennis court with a basketball hoop and the upgraded tennis and gym pavilion, complete with a wet bar, two half baths, and an outdoor barbeque station, redefine at-home recreation. Whether starting your day with a morning match, an afternoon workout, or unwinding in the evening, this estate delivers a private wellness retreat designed for both movement and mindfulness. Just minutes from the Rancho Santa Fe Golf & Tennis Club, fine dining, boutique shopping, and the charming Village, this home is more than just a residence—it’s a lifestyle. Set in one of Southern California’s most coveted communities, it offers serenity, sophistication, and exclusivity in perfect harmony. Rarely does a property of this caliber come to market. A true masterpiece of architecture, design, and lifestyle, this estate is an opportunity to own not just a home, but a sanctuary.
