Neighborhood: Rancho Santa Fe

Rancho Santa Fe

There is magic in the air driving through the windy, eucalyptus-lined streets of Rancho Santa Fe, San Diego, known for its stately mansions, upscale master-planned communities, expansive citrus and avocado groves, 45 miles of horse trails, and exclusive riding and country clubs. Rancho Santa Fe is located only four miles from the beautiful beaches of Del Mar and is considered one of the most affluent communities in the nation. 

The historic Rancho Santa Fe Covenant is not just renowned; it's exclusive. Its elegance and spacious lots, surrounded by rolling hills reminiscent of Tuscany, make it a truly unique place to live. The Covenant, spanning 10 square miles, is home to around 4,300 residents and 1700 estate homes. It also houses the Village with its charming shops and restaurants and the state-of-the-art campuses in the Rancho Santa Fe School District. With an average lot size of more than two acres, it's clear that exclusivity is a defining feature of the Covenant. 

The Covenant was established in 1928 with a clear vision that it would be a community that preserves and respects the natural beauty of the landscape, which is evident today in the dedication to building on larger two-acre lots with an emphasis on architectural character. 

Exclusive to only those living within the Covenant is the acclaimed and exclusive Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club, a Max Behr-designed, 6,700-yard par-72 private course that is regarded as one of the premier golf venues in the Western United States. 
Among the master-planned communities in Rancho Santa Fe are Del Rayo Estates, Fairbanks Ranch, The Bridges, The Rivers Estates, Del Mar Country Club, Cielo, The Farms, and The Crosby Estates. 

At the heart of Rancho Santa Fe is its Village, a hub of convenience and luxury. Here, you'll find a library, civic center, school, community center, garden club, and The Inn. And when it comes to dining, the Rancho Santa Fe town center doesn't disappoint. You can enjoy a meal at fine dining restaurants like Mille Fleurs and The Pony Room at the Rancho Valencia Resort, all within easy reach.
