About This Property

Set behind the gates of exclusive Fairbanks Ranch, this remarkable nearly 2-acre estate offers a rare combination of architectural scale, resort-inspired amenities, and exceptional privacy within one of Rancho Santa Fe’s most prestigious communities. Designed as a private compound for refined living and grand entertaining, the property encompasses an 8,110± square foot main residence, an 1,834± square foot guest house, and an extraordinary 2,014± square foot climate-controlled indoor basketball court—an amenity rarely found in residential estates. The five-bedroom main residence is thoughtfully designed with expansive living spaces, elegant finishes, and a layout that balances sophistication with everyday comfort. The home features the rare advantage of two luxurious primary suites, including a main-level retreat and an extraordinary upper-level primary sanctuary occupying its own private floor. This serene escape includes a sitting room with fireplace, private office, exercise area, and outdoor porch, complemented by a beautifully remodeled spa-inspired bath featuring a large soaking tub and stand-alone shower. Throughout the home, warm and inviting interiors showcase engineered hardwood flooring, porcelain tile, and plush carpeting, along with thoughtfully curated spaces designed for both entertaining and relaxation.

A welcoming family room with fireplace, custom wood built-ins, and integrated audio anchors the home’s gathering spaces, while distinctive rooms including a Tasting Salon, charming telephone room, mudroom, and spacious laundry room add both character and function. At the center of the home, the chef’s kitchen is designed to accommodate both everyday living and large-scale entertaining. Features include dual cooktops (gas and electric), two dishwashers, oversized refrigerator, oven plus microwave/convection oven, and a generous walk-in pantry that could easily function as a scullery or secondary prep kitchen. Modern infrastructure and efficiency enhance the estate’s comfort and sustainability, including 60 owned solar panels delivering virtually no annual electric cost, multiple HVAC systems, tankless water heater, water softener, under-counter water filtration, new Cat6 wiring, and replaced skylights. Beyond the residence, the grounds unfold as a private resort environment. A beautifully designed saline pool serves as the centerpiece of the outdoor living experience and was built to be enjoyed for volleyball, offering a fun and distinctive recreational feature rarely found at a private residence. A jacuzzi and fountain further elevate the setting, while the surrounding landscape offers a variety of additional amenities including a putting green with sand traps, greenhouse, and a children’s play area with swing set, playhouse, and in-ground trampoline. The property is fully fenced, creating both privacy and security while maintaining a sense of openness across the manicured grounds. The detached 1,834± square foot structure is thoughtfully designed to include both the guest house and the property’s two pool bathrooms, creating a highly functional and versatile extension of the estate. The guest house offers comfortable accommodations with a private bedroom, living area, kitchen, full bath, and its own laundry area, while one of the two pool bathrooms is connected to a sauna—adding a distinctive resort-inspired amenity that enhances the property’s appeal for entertaining, extended stays, staff, and seamless enjoyment of the outdoor living areas.

Additional features include a three-car garage, three gas fireplaces, and a thoughtful blend of luxury, utility, and recreation throughout the property.
