Our home is a beautiful, custom-built Spanish estate situated at the top of the hill on two private, spacious acres. We’re located in the gated community of “The Groves”, formerly a spectacular orange grove situated in the rolling hills of Rancho Santa Fe, and are adjacent to “The Bridges” Championship golf course.
We absolutely love living here. The views are exceptional, the weather is spectacular and we feel fortunate to live in such a beautiful villa. Every room in this fully furnished, 5100 square foot house is large and made more magnificent by vaulted ceilings throughout.
The home’s winning design is centered around a courtyard with an over-sized hot tub and a classic Roman pool (50 feet long!) We spend long days in this courtyard which includes a gorgeous stone dining table with six wrought-iron chairs for evening dinners, as well as an array of premium chairs, lounges and love seats with all-weather mattresses.
The pool area integrates seamlessly with the house, separated by over 20 over-sized floor-to-ceiling doors that open directly onto our courtyards.
The grounds are as beautiful as the interior. We have 30+ orange trees from the original working grove as well as two large rose gardens. The views are gorgeous. We often enjoy watching the hot-air balloons that appear over the horizon in our front yard at sunset.
The amenities are also first class. For outdoor entertaining -- over sized pool, hot tub, porch heaters, porch fans, dramatic lighting and a 52" natural gas grill. For indoor comfort – Viking Range (6 gas burners), Dual Oven, Sub Zero Refrigerator, Premium Bosch Dishwasher, Wine Cooler, Over-sized Wood Fireplace, Two Gas Fireplaces, Master Bathroom with Dual Shower and His/Her Staging Areas, WIFI, 50” LCD TV with Cable and a formal dining room with a beautiful, custom-made table that seats twelve. For children – multiple TV’s and gaming systems, ping pong table, board games, basketball court, bicycles, lacrosse wall and orange juice squeezer (for making fresh orange juice from the adjacent grove). Two private tennis courts exclusive to Groves residents are also located within walking distance.
Lovely time back in Rancho Santa Fe with the whole family - lovely house - even nicer in reality than the photos, amazing hosts and a wonderful time
Loved the property, house was amazing. Able to accommodate 4 families and kids without tripping over each other. Check in was easy, and owners very informative, and helpful.
The listing description says it all- this property is located in a BEAUTIFUL community in Rancho Santa Fe, surrounded by beautiful orange trees. The house itself was very clean, and well-maintained. PLENTY of room, and nice to have so many bathrooms, so we could all claim our own. Comfortable living room if you want to be inside, but you'll probably want to spend most of your time out by the pool and hot tub!! Outdoor living at its finest, and totally private...plenty of comfortable seating to relax/lounge, and an outdoor dining table to eat your meals! I would also recommend watching the sunsets from the front yard- the view out front is outstanding! Finally, the homeowners were very nice, and made sure we had a great time during our stay! I would definitely recommend this property!!
We celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary with our adult children and grandchildren. The house and pool area had plenty of space for our family of 10. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils and everything needed to prepare wonderful meals. Our 4 grandchildren ages 14 to 8 had a great time in the mornings picking oranges to make orange juice for all of us. The house, furnishings, and gardens are fantastic. The grounds are very private but close enough to drive to the beaches and shopping. The house itself offered a great pool, ping pong, and tennis courts. It was the ideal spot . I would not hesitate to recommend this house to anyone.
Our stay was amazing; the house was everything we needed. We especially loved picking oranges in the morning for breakfast .
This was our best vacation in the last ten years! We feel so fortunate to have found this place. Everyone voted and we’re definitely coming back. The house is gorgeous. There are huge glass doors everywhere so you feel outside even when you’re inside. It’s a perfect layout. Lots of space inside and out for socializing and eating. Plus the rooms are all so spacious, upscale and tastefully designed. The grounds are beautiful. We picked roses every day and also made fresh orange juice. I can’t say enough about the pool. There are a lot of great pools in San Diego but this one was especially amazing. Plus we “lived” in the over-sized hot tub. On top of that, the owners were so friendly and helpful. Always accommodating, always helpful and very nice people who care about their home and renters.

Our family of seven very much enjoyed our stay at this beautiful property. The house, swimming pool and hot tub exceeded our expectations. The owner was very easy to work with and helpful.
We stayed at this lovely home for a week in July 2015 while in San Diego for our daughter's wedding and cannot say enough good things about our stay. The owner was very helpful from the start and everything was perfect. We loved the house, the pool, the orange orchard and the roses. Beautifully decorated and with everything you need for a very enjoyable stay. All of us loved going out to pick oranges and make fresh orange juice every morning. Great views, wonderful setting to relax and elegant, yet functional, decor. From our teenagers to the 100-year old grandparent, the house and outdoor amenities were enjoyed by all. Spacious - we especially loved the master bedroom suite - and the single floor living was very convenient, but with lots of room for everyone to have their own space or to gather all at once. Well equipped kitchen, perfect for cooking those family meals, and lots of space both inside and outside for dinner guests. We highly recommend this place and look forward to staying here again when we visit.
We had a wonderful time in San Diego and in this home. Plenty of space for our 3 families of 12 people, beautiful swimming pool, excellent grounds (with Orange trees), beautiful view of Rancho Santa Fe, and within close proximity to Del Mar. We had a wonderful time!
