Resting in the foothills of Rancho Santa Fe, just 6 miles from the beaches of Del Mar, Rancho Los Arboles is a 9 acre luxury resort-residence that brings to life the elegance and spirit of Old California. With 20,000 sq. feet of living space and an additional 14,000 sq. feet of lifestyle amenities, the self-contained family compound dates to the early 1920’s when eucalyptus and citrus groves covered the “Covenant” acres of Rancho Santa Fe. Surrounded by lush tropical and irreplaceable botanical landscaping ideal for optimal privacy, the property features extensive outdoor verandas, gardens and a greenhouse nursery. Flanked with Canary Island Date Palms and old iron lanterns, the scenic drive curves past the family orchard to a serene waterfall welcome grounded with Koi ponds and lily pads. The motor court – guarded by century-old Dracaena Draco trees – unveils a central courtyard fountain featuring hand-painted Malibu tiles. Garage bays are suited for up to 9 vehicles.

Throughout the property, lighted walking pathways explore the natural beauty and depth of the ranch. From a pond side gazebo with floating dock, to a lushly landscaped tennis court, the flourishing grounds exploit the Southern California lifestyle of alfresco living.

Equestrian facilities consist of two training arenas and an immaculate seven horse barn. A feed room with hay storage, and tack room with a double wash stall are also of note. Each oversized box stall has an attached turn out corral.

Reflecting the Monterey Spanish style of the Rancho Santa Fe community, the main residence houses 6 bedroom suites, 7 full and 3 half baths – all laden with natural stone materials throughout. The home’s footprint – a horseshoe shape – gives rise to extended wrap-around verandas and a protected central courtyard.
