Framed by a majestic tree-lined drive, this Santa Barbara-style estate designed by Dena Gillespie is a masterclass in Old World character. Sited perfectly on the 2nd fairway of the Santaluz Golf Course, every corner reveals artisan detail—from imported doors and intricate ironwork to hand-painted tiles and custom interior finishes. The heart of the home is an inviting great room featuring antique wood-beamed ceilings and a grand fireplace. Massive lift-and-slide doors vanish to create a seamless transition to expansive covered porches, perfect for fairway-view entertaining. The versatile main floor includes two bedrooms with the potential to be reimagined into a secondary palatial primary suite. The exterior is an entertainer’s delight, featuring a cozy fire pit, and a tiled fountain set against lush, grassy yards. Inside, culinary options range from a European breakfast rotunda to a formal dining room and a romantic interior courtyard anchored by an adobe fireplace. The primary suite serves as a true sanctuary, boasting a private viewing porch, dry sauna, and spa-bath. Work and play are perfectly balanced with "his and her" offices, a billiard room with a full bar, and a wine cellar behind a reclaimed door. Three more gorgeous ensuite bedrooms complete the package. Words and pictures do not convey the incredible character and ambiance of this home. Santaluz offers an ideal and secure gated community where nature is unspoiled and recreational and social choices abound. Comprised of 3,800 acres of golden hillsides, panoramic golf, ocean and coastal views, 33 miles of hiking and biking trails, acres of untouched land, a clubhouse, a resort Spa and The Santaluz Club, a private 18-hole Rees Jones Championship golf course ensures a quality of life unmatched anywhere else in San Diego! 3-Tiers of paid Membership available for facilities use.
