A distinctive estate in Rancho Santa Fe, California, has returned to the market for $11.4 million following a $2 million renovation. The property, known as The Rambla Estate, was originally designed in the early 1990s by architect Ken Ronchetti and encompasses seven gated acres. The recent updates include resort-style amenities and a vibrant fuchsia-pink tennis court.
The 12,416-square-foot residence is characterized by its "half moon" shape, a design feature that allows for floor-to-ceiling windows in every room, offering views of the ocean and mountains. Listing agent Nicholas Borrelli of Coldwell Banker Realty described the property as being situated on a private plateau, concealed from street view.
The estate offers five bedrooms and eight bathrooms. Renovations aimed to preserve the original architectural integrity while incorporating modern luxury. The home includes formal and informal living areas, multiple entertaining spaces, and an attached four-car garage.
Key features within the master suite include a private entrance to the outdoors, a personal retreat area, and an expansive walk-in closet. The property also boasts an individual laundry room, an exercise room, a wine cellar, a game room with a golf simulator, and an office with a built-in desk and floor-to-ceiling bookcase, accessible from the exterior.
Outdoor amenities feature rolling lawns, sophisticated plantings, and diverse outdoor spaces designed for both gatherings and private relaxation. The renovations also extended to the home's core systems, with significant upgrades to HVAC and plumbing.
Borrelli noted the significant interest the property has generated, attracting buyers interested in unique architecture and families seeking distinct living spaces. The estate's layout allows for a separation of living and entertainment areas, with one side of the house capable of functioning independently.
Located near the Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club, the estate is situated in a neighborhood known for its equestrian trails, top-rated schools, and scenic views.
