Property Detail

Description

Once-in-a-Lifetime Hilltop Opportunity — Rancho Las Encinitas Perched atop a private, gated street with unobstructed, sweeping views stretching across Rancho Santa Fe and the Olivenhain–Encinitas hillsides, this 1.55-acre estate lot offers a rare combination of elevation, privacy, and possibility. Wake up to golden sunrises over the distant mountains east of Rancho Santa Fe, with rolling hills and valley views by day and starry skies by night — one of the most dramatic view settings available in coastal North County. The existing 3,145 sq. ft. single-story residence — 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, with a 2-car garage — offers a classic mid-century footprint ready for a thoughtful refresh, or serves as a placeholder while you design the custom estate you've always envisioned. The property also includes a detached, two-story structure currently used as an ADU (non-permitted; buyer to verify permitting status and potential with the County of San Diego and City of Encinitas). Mature citrus and fruit trees already thrive on the terraced grounds, and a vast upper pad, along with a second tier just beyond it, offers a blank canvas for whatever you can imagine — expand the orchard, plant grape vines and cultivate your own vineyard, or lay out garden beds and outdoor living space. The entire hillside can become your own private food oasis, limited only by your vision. Whether you refurbish the existing home and ADU, or start fresh with new construction, this is a rare blank canvas in one of Encinitas' most coveted hillside enclaves — served by the highly regarded Encinitas Union and San Dieguito Union school districts.
