About Rancho Santa Fe
One of America's most exclusive residential communities.
Rancho Santa Fe was planted with 3 million eucalyptus trees by the Santa Fe Railroad in the 1920s, then transformed into a private residential enclave governed by the Covenant — rules that preserve its rancho character, equestrian infrastructure, and Spanish Colonial architecture. Lot sizes routinely exceed five acres. It's the choice for buyers who prioritize privacy, scale, and permanence above all else.
