One foot in the ranch and one foot in the sand—this custom Olivenhain estate offers peaceful, open-space living just minutes from Encinitas beaches and coastal amenities. Positioned to capture southeast-facing morning light, the home is filled with natural brightness and a calm, serene atmosphere throughout the day. The residence offers 4,774 square feet with five bedrooms and five bathrooms, featuring cherry hardwood floors, raised hearth brick fireplaces, electronically operated skylights that enhance light and comfort at the touch of a button. Anchoring the main living space, the expansive kitchen offers a highly functional layout with two gas ovens, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, and dual dishwashers, providing both scale and efficiency for serious cooking and entertaining. Designed with comfort, flexibility, and privacy in mind, the residence offers two ensuite bedrooms on the main floor and three additional ensuite bedrooms on the second level—ideal for multigenerational living, hosting, or remote work lifestyles. One entry-level suite opens through double doors to the pool patio and garden, offering an inviting indoor–outdoor retreat. Outdoors, a custom infinity-edge pool anchors the private grounds, creating a resort-style setting surrounded by mature landscaping and open skies. Additional highlights include owned solar panels and an electric vehicle charging station. Situated on 0.6 acres with no HOA, this is a private and thoughtfully designed home offering serenity, and coastal proximity.
