Tucked away at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac on Rancho Santa Fe’s desirable west side, Pedazo De Cielo (“Piece of Heaven”) is a rare, single-level gated estate that masterfully combines luxury, privacy, and soul-stirring natural beauty. Situated on over two usable acres adjacent to equestrian trails, this meticulously designed hacienda-style compound by architect Alex Friehauf offers the perfect blend of timeless charm and modern comfort. Step inside the main residence and discover 5,906 square feet of refined living space, where rich travertine and wide plank European Oak floors, wood-beamed ceilings, skylights, and multiple fireplaces create a warm, elevated ambiance. The well-thought-out floor plan features four spacious ensuite bedrooms, including a secluded primary suite with a bonus room ideal for a gym, nursery, or creative space. A dedicated office and multiple light-filled living areas ensure both productivity and relaxation. At the heart of the home is a gourmet kitchen which flows into the expansive great room featuring a built-in bar—perfect for entertaining or simply enjoying everyday moments. Every room either opens to the serene outdoors or has views though the windows, where lush landscaping, mature Jacaranda trees, vibrant roses, and easterly views provide a daily escape into nature. The detached 1,134 sq ft guest house offers two bedrooms, 1.5 baths, a charming California Room with an outdoor fireplace, a hand-painted mural, and a sense of retreat ideal for guests, extended family, or a private studio. Outdoors, this estate truly shines. Lounge by the saltwater, solar-heated pool and spa, host gatherings under the stars in the outdoor BBQ area (complete with sink and refrigerator), or sip coffee on the patio while hot air balloons drift overhead. Explore the fruit orchard with 50+ varieties of trees or tend to the fenced garden beds—a paradise for nature lovers. This property is engineered for effortless living with owned solar (18.55 kW), a 20kW backup generator, smart irrigation, whole-house water filtration, a 50 AMP RV hookup, and a 3-car garage with epoxy flooring, high doors, and custom built-ins. Both the main and guest residences are single level with no interior steps, ensuring accessibility and comfort for all. Ideally located just minutes from Encinitas, the beaches, Interstate 5, Rancho Santa Fe Village, top-rated Roger Rowe K–8, and the RSF Country Club, Pedazo De Cielo offers the rare opportunity to own a legacy estate in one of Southern California’s most prestigious communities. This home is more than a residence - it’s a lifestyle. Come experience it for yourself.
