16610 El Zorro Vista

Set behind private gates on more than two acres in the prestigious Rancho Santa Fe Covenant, this exceptional single-level Spanish estate offers timeless architecture, artisan craftsmanship, and sweeping west-facing views. Extensively reconstructed in 2006 under architect Max Wuthrich, the approximately 6,800-square-foot estate features six bedrooms, five full and three half bathrooms between the main residence and separate two-bedroom guest house. A wrought-iron gate opens to a private courtyard with terracotta pathways and mature palms. Beyond the mesquite entry door, the dramatic great room showcases soaring vaulted ceilings, exposed Douglas fir beams, hand-adzed woodwork, and a carved limestone fireplace. Distinctive details include a hand-stenciled dining room ceiling, mahogany china cabinets with leaded glass, cotto tile, walnut flooring, custom alder cabinetry, and hand-painted Malibu tile, with mahogany-interior and incense cedar-exterior windows and doors throughout. The home features a copper range hood, Viking appliances, and a temperature-controlled wine room. Landscaped grounds offer expansive entertaining terraces, a pool, spa, waterfall, private tennis court with pickleball potential, mature citrus trees, owned solar, and spectacular sunset views. Just one mile from Rancho Santa Fe Village, residents enjoy exclusive access to scenic walking and equestrian trails, RSF Golf and Tennis Clubs, and the acclaimed Rancho Santa Fe School District. A rare opportunity for architectural distinction, privacy, and the quintessential Rancho Santa Fe lifestyle.
