The Romance of Rancho Santa Fe. A luxurious Spanish Colonial revival style estate, perched on over 3 acres of lush landscaping. This is a rare opportunity to own an original historic Lilian J. Rice period home that seldom comes to market. The home has a pedigree that reaches back in time to the 1920’s and represents an incredible example of the Spanish eclectic-style that was synonymous with that era of Southern California architecture. Sited on over 3 acres, the estate, designed in 1927, offers breathtaking lake views and timeless elegance in the heart of historic Rancho Santa Fe’s Covenant, which today it is revered for its rural beauty, its golf and tennis facilities, equestrian lifestyle, dedicated riding and hiking trails and top rated schools. In the heart of the expansive interior is the elegant Rice-designed living room. A key feature is the Spanish-style fireplace with an oversized breast that reaches up to exposed rafters, another Rice signature design detail. The primary suite is a tranquil retreat with beautiful lake views and dramatic sunsets. Ensuite are his-and-hers bathrooms and dressing rooms, including a fireplace and sauna. The family-style kitchen features custom wood cabinetry, a fireplace and an expansive Mexican tile island with built in gas range and sink. The kitchen blends functionality and style, making it perfect for both everyday gatherings and entertaining. Adjacent to the kitchen is a butler’s pantry, food pantry, wet bar and an office. The home was expanded in the 1980's to include additional bedrooms, a caretaker’s apartment, and a resort-style cabana and remains true to its architectural heritage. With its unparalleled craftsmanship, history, first class amenities and serene setting, the Hahncienda is a rare once-in-a lifetime opportunity to own a piece of Lilian Rice’s architectural legacy.

At the very top of Castle Court, this hilltop home takes in panoramic views of Lakeside, the valley, and the mountains from nearly every window. As the last home on the street, it offers a sense of privacy that is hard to find. Set on 0.71 acre and meticulously maintained by its original owner, it features 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths, plus a permitted 308 sq ft bonus room downstairs for an office, gym, or guest space. The big updates are done: new roof, new windows, brand-new central HVAC with central AC, a 2017 water heater, and 17 owned, paid-off solar panels. Engineered hardwood flows throughout the open main level. The living room centers on a wood-burning fireplace, with dimmable recessed lighting in the living room and kitchen. The kitchen pairs new countertops with KitchenAid stainless appliances and a gas stove. A picture-frame window over the staircase carries the view upstairs. Then there's the garage: permitted, detached, and tri-level, with three car bays, a workshop below, attic storage above (approx. 6-ft ceilings in both), and six picture-frame windows, so even your shop has a view. Made for the collector, the craftsman, or anyone who needs real space to work. The lot offers potential to add an ADU (buyer to verify with the County). Mornings start with the valley below, evenings end with the lights of Lakeside, and fireworks nights come with a front-row seat. Solar exterior lighting, public water and sewer, no HOA, no Mello-Roos. Views, land, and a home like this rarely come together. Disclaimer: Fireworks and ADU shown in the listing video are AI-generated.
