Property summary

Tucked away on one of Rancho Santa Fe's most coveted tree-lined streets, 6977 Las Colinas is a blend of historic California hacienda architecture and modern refinement. Inspired by the estates of Montecito and Santa Barbara, this three-acre property captures the essence of early California design—where warmth, authenticity, and sophistication coexist in perfect harmony. The home’s arrival experience is nothing short of enchanting. An 18th-century Mexican door with original iron hardware opens to a beamed portico with a raised fireplace, setting the tone for the thoughtful details found throughout. Inside, high ceilings adorned with carved beams, 12 sets of antique Mexican doors, and archways framed by thick plaster walls create a sense of history, while reclaimed wood floors and patinated Saltillo tile add depth and texture. The home’s 14 fireplaces, both indoors and out, contribute to its enduring warmth and character. Nearly every room connects seamlessly to terraces, lush gardens, and courtyards, reinforcing a true indoor-outdoor lifestyle. Meticulously restored and reimagined by its designer-owner—whose work has been featured in national publications—the estate effortlessly bridges past and present. Recent enhancements include newly remodeled bedrooms and baths, updated electrical and plumbing, refurbished original iron lanterns, and an updated irrigation system to nurture the stunning landscape. Olive and lemon trees, vibrant cacti, lavender, white roses, and native grasses create a tranquil retreat, while the resurfaced swimming pool, spa, and sport court provide ample opportunities for recreation. The 10,500 square feet, which includes thoughtfully designed rooms, the home is both grand and intimate. Expansive gathering spaces, with multiple living rooms and a family lounge, are balanced by cozy retreats like the moody library, a cashmere-upholstered TV room, and a private wine-tasting “cave.” The generously sized bedrooms, many with dedicated sitting areas, offer flexibility for modern living. Situated just moments from the Village of Rancho Santa Fe, with its charming shops, dining, and newly renovated Inn at Rancho Santa Fe, the location is unparalleled. Best of all, Covenant residency includes immediate membership to the prestigious Rancho Santa Fe Golf & Tennis Club—with no waitlist or sponsorship required. A home with both an Old Soul and a Young Heart, 6977 Las Colinas is a rare opportunity to own a timeless piece of Rancho Santa Fe history, infused with modern elegance and enduring charm.
