6977 Las Colinas

Rancho Santa Fe covenant Gracefully positioned along the tree-lined street, 6977 Las Colinas masterfully combines historic California hacienda architecture with contemporary elegance. Drawing inspiration from the estates of Montecito and Santa Barbara, this three-acre property embodies the spirit of early California design, where warmth and authenticity merge in perfect harmony. Once on the property, you're greeted by the intimate charm of a flower-filled, beamed portico complete with a raised fireplace, merely setting the tone for the meticulous details that follow. Stepping inside, the home opens up to all the first impressions have promised, with carved beams, 12 sets of antique Mexican doors and arched passages, while reclaimed wood floors and patinaed Saltillo tiles provide depth and texture. With 14 fireplaces thoughtfully placed throughout the home and outdoor spaces, the property exudes a constant sense of warmth and character. The seamless flow from room to room extends to its terraces, lush gardens, and courtyards, fully embracing an indoor-outdoor lifestyle. Impeccably restored and reimagined by its designer-owner—whose work has graced national publications—this estate effortlessly bridges the old and the new. Recent upgrades include remodeled bedrooms and bathrooms, updated electrical and plumbing systems, restored original iron lanterns, and a revamped irrigation system that nourishes the stunning landscape. Vibrant olive, avocado and lemon trees, cacti, lavender, white roses, and native grasses enhance the tranquil atmosphere, all surrounding a resurfaced swimming pool, spa, and sport court that offer ample opportunities for recreation. At 10,500 square feet, this home features a carefully curated blend of spacious, open-concept areas and intimate retreats. Expansive living rooms and a family lounge are complemented by cozy spaces such as the library, a cashmere-upholstered TV room, and a private wine-tasting “cave.” Generously sized bedrooms, many with dedicated sitting areas, offer flexibility for modern living. Just moments from the heart of Rancho Santa Fe Village, with its charming shops, restaurants, and the newly renovated Inn at Rancho Santa Fe, the location is second to none. As a resident of the Covenant, you also enjoy immediate membership to the prestigious Rancho Santa Fe Golf & Tennis Club, with no waitlist or sponsorship required. A rare blend of old-world charm and contemporary sophistication, 6977 Las Colinas offers an extraordinary opportunity to own a timeless piece of Rancho Santa Fe history infused with modern grace and lasting appeal.
