More Insights

Built in 1978 (47 years old).
Condition: Built in 1978, this property has been extensively upgraded and lovingly maintained, presenting as move-in ready. The kitchen features modern white cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and recessed lighting, complemented by tumbled travertine flooring throughout the main living areas. While the overall condition is very good with notable architectural features like vaulted ceilings and skylights, some bathrooms, particularly the primary bath (dated strip lighting, tub surround, small tiles) and the powder room (older vanity, wallpaper), show less recent updates. These elements prevent an 'Excellent' rating, but the significant renovations in key areas and meticulous upkeep justify a 'Good' score.

About this home

Welcome to a truly one-of-a-kind residence in the highly sought-after neighborhood of Rancho La Costa. Perched in the hills above the renowned Omni La Costa Resort & Spa, this tranquil oasis has been lovingly maintained and upgraded by one owner—and is now offered for the very first time. Set on a prime, level corner lot within a peaceful cul-de-sac, this home offers exceptional privacy, refreshing ocean breezes, and effortless access to top-rated schools, beaches, shopping, and the Alga Norte Park & Swim Complex. Step through the custom stone and wood entry blending artistry and architectural charm into an inviting design with vaulted ceilings, crown molding, skylights, and tumbled travertine flooring that exude warmth and timeless elegance. The airy great room flows seamlessly into a culinary-inspired kitchen featuring a grand island with sink, walk-in pantry, custom cabinetry with pull-outs, and generous prep space—ideal for gatherings and everyday living. Upstairs, the primary suite is a serene retreat with a private deck showcasing ocean and golf course views, an oversized dual-head shower, walk-in closet, and refined finishes. Two of the spacious secondary bedrooms, also with walk-in closets, share a stylish Jack-and-Jill bath. Exterior highlights include stone paver entry and driveway, multiple patios, lush landscaping, custom lighting, fountain feature, and two producing avocado trees. A showcase of craftsmanship, comfort, and coastal sophistication—this Rancho La Costa gem is available now for the first time. Rancho La Costa in Carlsbad blends upscale suburban comfort with Southern California’s outdoor lifestyle. Tree-lined streets, large lots, and architecturally varied homes—many with golf course or nature preserve views—give the area a sense of spacious luxury. The neighborhood has excellent schools nearby, parks, trails, and easy access to shopping centers and amenities like the Omni La Costa Resort & Spa. Outdoor enthusiasts appreciate the Rancho La Costa Preserve, the Switchback and Ridgeline Trails and other open-space areas for hiking and scenic views of the ocean and lagoon. While the vibe is relaxed, privacy is a feature with quiet streets and relatively little hustle compared to coastal San Diego, while still being just a short drive from beaches and the coast.
