About This Property
A rare nearly ready-to-build luxury estate opportunity in Cielo, Rancho Santa Fe. This premium 1.45-acre private corner lot offers panoramic mountain and hillside views, approved HOA, fire dept and county plans—allowing the next owner to bypass what can often be more than two years of planning, redesign, engineering coordination, reviews (HOA, fire dept & county), and costly rework. Designed for an approximately 6,325 sq ft contemporary main residence plus a 965 sq ft detached ADU, the estate plan includes resort-style outdoor living with a pool, spa, fire pit lounge, putting green, and professional landscaping. Located inside Cielo’s prestigious 24-hour guard-gated community, this is a standout opportunity for a luxury buyer, builder, or investor to step into a substantially advanced custom-home project, save major time and carrying costs, reduce approval uncertainty, and bring a luxury Rancho Santa Fe estate to life without starting from raw land.
