Rancho Santa Fe Real Estate & Homes for Sale in California

Rancho Santa Fe Real Estate & Homes for Sale in California

Located in the Coastal Hills of North San Diego County, Rancho Santa Fe lies just four miles from the Pacific Ocean and borders on Del Mar. This exclusive locale is comprised of a number of distinct yet cohesive communities, ranging from the ancient olive trees and Italian architecture of the Bridges, the elegant homes in Fairbanks Ranch, new homes at The Crosby Estate and the casual opulence found in the Covenant.

Rural Rancho Santa Fe is distinguished by its wide open spaces and estate homes. Winding driveways lead to traditionally styled Spanish, Mediterranean or Early California Hacienda homes flanked by fragrant citrus and native foliage. Rancho Santa Fe offers seven country clubs with golf, tennis and extensive social networks along with excellent schools, abundant privacy and more than 50 miles of riding trails in wooded settings. “The Ranch” has been named “the best place to live in the United States” by the Robb Report.

Eucalyptus trees were planted in the 1920s by the Santa Fe Railway for future use as railroad ties and now provide a picturesque and rustic environment for this upscale community. The Rancho schools are consistently rated among the best in California and Torrey Pines High School is a three-time recipient of the “California Distinguished School” award, with most of its graduates going on to colleges and universities. Single-family homes predominate the real estate, ranging from modest properties to magnificent hilltop estates with spectacular views and acreage. Condominiums and townhomes are also available, as are land and improved lots for custom building.
