One of the finest remaining estate parcels on the coveted west side of the historic Rancho Santa Fe Covenant, this rare 3.5-acre homesite presents an outstanding opportunity to build a world-class custom estate with ocean views. Large west-side parcels with this level of privacy, infrastructure, and development progress have become increasingly scarce, making this one of the few opportunities to create a legacy property in one of Southern California's most sought-after communities. A tremendous amount of time, planning, and capital has already been invested, providing a significant head start for the next owner. Previously approved architectural plans through the Covenant Art Jury were designed by renowned local firm B&W Architects, with additional concept plans by acclaimed architect John P. Jensen. Landscape plans by George Mercer further complement the architectural vision, offering a cohesive foundation for an extraordinary estate. The property is well positioned for development. Prior ownership secured grading and drainage permits and completed extensive site preparation, including major grading, drainage infrastructure, compaction, and comprehensive soils engineering. Much of the costly and time-consuming groundwork has already been completed, allowing the next owner to move forward more efficiently. Privately situated at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac and surrounded by distinguished custom estates, the property enjoys coastal breezes, picturesque countryside vistas, and direct access to the Covenant's renowned equestrian trail system. Residents are eligible for membership at the recently renovated Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club, recognized among the Top 100 Walking Courses in America. Ideally located approximately one mile from the Village of Rancho Santa Fe, five miles from the Del Mar Racetrack, and five miles to the beach, the property offers an exceptional balance of privacy and convenience. Served by the highly regarded R. Roger Rowe School (K–8) and Torrey Pines High School, with several respected private schools nearby, this is a rare opportunity to create a custom estate in one of Rancho Santa Fe's most sought-after locations.

A rare chance to own true estate scale land in the heart of Rancho Santa Fe. Via de las Flores is a 10.12 acre parcel with no HOA, offering the privacy, space, and natural beauty that define The Ranch, all just minutes from the Village, championship golf, and the coast. This is not a blank canvas. The current owner has invested nearly $2 million in planning, engineering, land mitigation, and a habitat conservation endowment to release the open space and secure the grading permit. Over 110,000 square feet of building pads are designated across gentle, build ready slopes, with water and sewer available and conceptual plans already prepared. The site sits in Flood Zone X with minimal flood risk. Zoned R-R and set between two established equestrian facilities, the property is primed for a signature compound. Conceptual plans envision a main estate of up to 18,000 square feet, a 1,200 square foot guest home, an additional dwelling unit, a six door garage, a custom hobby shop, and a private equestrian center, all reached by a multiple access driveway. Picture a wellness suite, yoga retreat, game room, executive office, and seamless indoor and outdoor entertaining, framed by panoramic views that reach the Pacific Ocean, the Bridges golf course, and the San Dieguito Reservoir. Surrounded by horse and hiking trails and near Escondido Creek, the location feeds the acclaimed Rancho Santa Fe School District and Torrey Pines High, with the dining and shopping of the Village and the beaches of Del Mar and Solana Beach a short drive away. Land of this scale, already entitled and ready to build, almost never comes to market in Rancho Santa Fe. Offered at $5,850,000.
