Property Description

Minutes from Rancho Santa Fe, this nearly one-acre retreat includes a private upstairs studio suite with its own entrance, balcony, and kitchenette—offering flexibility for multigenerational living, guests, or potential rental income. Tucked into the quiet Harmony Grove corridor above Lake Hodges, it offers the privacy and views of that world without the price tag. It sits off a private lane with open space on two sides, so the view from the deck is Lake Hodges, layered mountains, and trees. Reimagined throughout, the home layers real herringbone hardwood, exotic marble, and plaster finishes beneath vaulted ceilings, with a two-sided gas fireplace, operable skylights, and a Z-Line range in the kitchen. A gallery walkway on the top floor looks down over the kitchen and living room. Stay comfortable and efficient with a recently added AC system and solar. A detached office has its own gated drive, and a rare full basement (not included in the square footage) opens the door to whatever comes next. Outside, a wrap-around deck, king palm, pergola, fruit and flowering trees, and a footbridge over a seasonal creek lead to your own private hiking trail, with the Lake Hodges trail system close by. Close to town, yet it feels worlds away—with privacy, land, room to entertain, and tranquility at your back door.
