Quintessential Southern California

Nestled within the prestigious enclave of the Rancho Santa Fe Covenant, 6977 Las Colinas stands as a timeless homage to early California hacienda architecture. This exceptional estate evokes the grace of 1920s Montecito while embracing the serene, mission-inspired aesthetic that defines Southern California’s rich heritage. Encompassing three lush acres, the property is enveloped by native palms, lemon and olive trees, lavender, white roses, and succulents — a living tapestry that mirrors the beauty of the region’s natural landscape.

From the moment you step through the hand-forged 18th-century Mexican door, an atmosphere of authenticity and warmth unfolds. The entry portico — with its chevron-beamed ceiling and intimate fireplace — opens to a courtyard alive with greenery, a vintage fountain, and iron lanterns that glow softly at dusk. Inside, handcrafted details abound: hand-painted ceilings, reclaimed wood floors, carved beams, plaster archways, and antique Mexican doors that open to courtyards and terraces bathed in light. Each space reveals its own character while maintaining a seamless connection to the outdoors.

Recent restoration and renovation have elevated this home into a perfect harmony of heritage and modern livability. Every inch has been thoughtfully refreshed — from new baths finished in marble and ceramic tile, to updated lighting, electrical, and plumbing systems, a resurfaced pool, and the meticulous restoration of original exterior iron lanterns. The result is a residence that honors its “Old Soul” while embracing a “Young Heart.”

With 10,500 square feet of living space, the home unfolds through a collection of luminous rooms: grand gathering spaces and intimate retreats alike. The family room, anchored by a stone fireplace and skylit ceilings, connects effortlessly to the terraces beyond. A moody study, a cashmere-upholstered media room, and a private tasting “cave” lend moments of calm and sophistication. The bedrooms are spacious sanctuaries, easily accommodating sitting or study areas, and nearly every room opens directly outdoors — a hallmark of true indoor-outdoor living.

Throughout, the home exudes the relaxed refinement of a boutique hotel, where every detail feels intentional — from the textures and finishes to the way natural light moves through each space. It is both elegant and unpretentious, offering a sense of effortless comfort and quiet luxury that invites you to linger.

Outside, the property celebrates the Southern California lifestyle in full: expansive stone terraces, a heated pool and spa, an outdoor kitchen, and an open lawn perfect for family games or peaceful reflection. A sport court completes the grounds, offering endless opportunities for recreation and connection.

Set along one of the Covenant’s most picturesque, tree-lined roads, 6977 Las Colinas offers the privacy of a wooded estate just minutes from the village center — with fine dining, boutique shopping, and the historic, newly renovated Inn at Rancho Santa Fe only moments away. Covenant ownership also grants immediate membership eligibility to the Rancho Santa Fe Golf and Tennis Club, one of the most esteemed clubs in Southern California.

A place where architecture, landscape, and light come together in effortless harmony — 6977 Las Colinas is not just a home, but an enduring work of art that captures the essence of Southern California living at its most refined.
