Expansive living and dining spaces provide an elegant setting for gatherings and an exceptional backdrop for displaying art.

Upstairs, three spacious bedroom suites and a versatile bonus room offer beautifully appointed accommodations for family and guests, along with flexible space for a private office, media room, or additional lounge.

Outside, lush tropical landscaping surrounds a private pool and spa, creating a serene resort-inspired retreat for relaxation and entertaining. With its architectural distinction, expansive grounds, and enviable setting within one of Rancho Santa Fe’s most prestigious communities, this extraordinary residence offers a rare opportunity to experience the privacy, elegance, and lifestyle of Fairbanks Ranch.
