One of the finest remaining estate parcels on the coveted west side of the historic Rancho Santa Fe Covenant, this rare 3.5-acre homesite presents an outstanding opportunity to build a world-class custom estate with ocean views. Large west-side parcels with this level of privacy, infrastructure, and development progress have become increasingly scarce, making this one of the few opportunities to create a legacy property in one of Southern California's most sought-after communities. A tremendous amount of time, planning, and capital has already been invested, providing a significant head start for the next owner. Previously approved architectural plans through the Covenant Art Jury were designed by renowned local firm B&W Architects, with additional concept plans by acclaimed architect John P. Jensen.

Prior ownership secured grading and drainage permits and completed extensive site preparation, including major grading, drainage infrastructure, compaction, and comprehensive soils engineering. Much of the costly and time-consuming groundwork has already been completed, allowing the next owner to move forward more efficiently. Privately situated at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac and surrounded by distinguished custom estates, the property enjoys coastal breezes, picturesque countryside vistas, and direct access to the Covenant's renowned equestrian trail system.
