Condition Rating
Good

Built in 2007, this property is 17 years old, fitting the 'Good' criteria for age. The listing explicitly highlights a 'renovated gourmet kitchen' with high-end appliances and finishes, which is confirmed by the images. Bathrooms also appear luxurious and well-maintained with quality materials. While the property boasts 'high-end finishes' and 'exceptional design' throughout, and is in pristine condition, the description's mention of 'Potential for Age-Related Updates' in areas beyond the kitchen suggests it hasn't undergone a full, extensive renovation of all components within the last 5 years. This aligns perfectly with the 'Good' score, indicating a move-in ready home with well-maintained systems and some updated components, but not a complete recent overhaul.
Pros & Cons

Pros

High Available Lot Utilization: The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 129808, living area = 12025.
Great Schools: Elementary School: Solana Vista Elementary School (10/10). Middle School: Pacific Trails Middle (10/10). High School: Torrey Pines High School (9/10).
Prime Location & School District: Situated in the highly desirable Rancho Santa Fe Covenant, offering proximity to golf and beaches, and within the top-rated Rancho Santa Fe School District, including R. Roger Rowe Elementary/Middle (rated 10/9) and Solana Santa Fe Elementary (rated 8).
Expansive & Gated Resort-Style Grounds: Nearly three acres of spectacular gated grounds featuring lush landscaping, expansive lawns, two sparkling pools, a spa, built-in BBQ, and a covered outdoor pavilion with fireplace, ideal for year-round indoor/outdoor living and potential for horses or a tennis court.
Exceptional Design & Quality Construction: Designed by architect Dena Gillespie and built by Weir Construction, the residence showcases a grand scale balanced with thoughtful design and high-end finishes, ensuring lasting quality and aesthetic appeal.
Versatile & Spacious Living Areas: Boasting 12,025 sqft with a luxurious primary suite, four additional spacious bedroom suites, a separate guest suite with private entrance, and a lower-level living area with its own driveway, kitchenette, and full bath, offering immense flexibility for various needs.
Renovated Gourmet Kitchen & Entertainment Hub: The heart of the home features a renovated gourmet kitchen, casual dining nook, family room with fireplace, sit-down bar, wine room, and billiards area, all opening to outdoor entertaining spaces through lift-and-slide pocket doors.

Cons

High Ongoing Maintenance Costs: The extensive 3-acre grounds, multiple pools, and large square footage (12,025 sqft) will necessitate significant ongoing expenses for landscaping, pool maintenance, utilities, and general upkeep.
Limited Buyer Pool: The ultra-luxury price point of $8.495 million and the grand scale of the estate target a very specific, affluent demographic, which may result in a longer marketing period compared to properties with broader appeal.
Potential for Age-Related Updates: While the gourmet kitchen has been renovated, the 2007 build date suggests that other areas of the expansive property may require updates or modernization to align with the latest luxury trends and smart home technologies, representing a potential additional investment for a discerning buyer.
