About this home
Discover Casa Encantada, a rare single-story, Mediterranean country estate set on approximately 2.15 acres in the heart of Olivenhain, just minutes from Encinitas beaches.

The beautifully updated home features premium Marvin doors and windows, solid hardwood floors, Santa Barbara wall finishes, custom masonry fireplaces, renovated bathrooms, a stone wine alcove, and a dedicated 4K home theater. Extensive grounds include an infinity-edge solar heated lap pool and spa, an established vineyard with Syrah and Viognier grapes, an abundant orchard with dozens of mature fruit trees, lush gardens with 12 raised vegetable beds, a fireplace entertaining pavilion, an outdoor workout/yoga space, and a large grassy field perfect for pickleball, sport court or large scale entertaining. The property is zoned for two horses, with access to miles of trails for horseback riding, hiking, walking and cycling. Additional features include: extensive irrigation, pool automation, home technology, and workshop amenities. This truly is a home to be lived in, experienced, and loved.
Olivenhain, located between Rancho Santa Fe and Leucadia, is a semi-rural and equestrian Encinitas neighborhood with large-lot homes and winding country roads. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Olivenhain Meeting Hall on Rancho Santa Fe Road, where community gatherings and a quiet, pastoral streetscape set the tone. Architectural styles lean toward custom ranch homes, modern farmhouses, and gated estates framed by mature trees and split-rail fencing. Elfin Forest Recreational Reserve adds ridgeline trails and broad views that shape daily routines. Nearby, the San Dieguito Heritage Museum and the historic Olivenhain Meeting Hall anchor local history and events. The landscape reads as open and green, with a slower pace than the coastal blocks to the west.
