This is an extraordinary opportunity to own a European-inspired energy-efficient, smart estate in the heart of Olivenhain. Perched on an expansive, well-maintained lot, this estate has direct access to the local equestrian trails. This multigenerational property features 3 detached structures designed for endless flexibility and seamless indoor-outdoor living at it's best. The main residence offers the simplicity of a single-story layout with the entire main level dedicated to daily living, a private home office and a large and luxurious primary suite on the main level with open views to the West. A thoughtfully designed, split-level, secondary wing houses 2 bedrooms with a jack-and-jill full bath and an additional bedroom, en suite with pretty views to the West and a versatile play-loft offering the perfect balance of proximity and privacy for family or guests. Outside, the manicured grounds are a haven for farm-to-table living, complete with a custom chicken coup, an organic vegetable garden and a mature, producing orchard. This estate offers endless potential with ample room in between the main house and ADU to add a pickleball court, horse arena or stables, tennis court or a putting green. Boasting it's own private address, the brand new, never-been-lived-in $700,000 ADU detached guest residence (ADU) is an entertainer's and car enthusiast's dream--featuring a climate-controlled premier car collector's garage along a fully loaded with BBQ, wood-fired, Santa Maria grill or flat-top method of the outdoor chef's delight! Currently no electricity bills- SOLAR PANELS.
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.

Other parcels range from two net acre lot size to four net acre lot size depending on slope. One primary dwelling is permitted on each legal lot. Single-family units may be attached to other single-family units provided each unit is located on a separate legal lot with approval of a PRD.
