Nestled in the heart of Rancho Santa Fe Covenant, 6977 Las Colinas stands as a testament to early California hacienda-style architecture, skillfully blending the elegance of 1920s Montecito and Santa Barbara estates with the understated lines and proportions reminiscent of California’s historic mission dwellings. Occupying over three acres on one of the more desirable streets in Rancho Santa Fe, this property is a verdant oasis, showcasing an array of native flora including palms, lemon and olive trees, alongside vibrant cacti, lavender, and white roses. The essence of California architecture is captured the moment you step inside. The home’s terra cotta roof, high ceilings adorned with detailed carved beams, and thick plaster walls framing archways provide glimpses of the surrounding beauty. Features like antique Mexican doors, hand-scraped reclaimed wood, patinated Saltillo tile floors, and iron lanterns enhance its historical charm, while 19 fireplaces and stone terraces adjacent to nearly every room anchor its appeal, embodying a home with both an ‘Old Soul’ and a ‘Young Heart’. The thoughtful restoration led by the current owner—a designer whose work has adorned the pages of national magazines—has reinvigorated 6977 Las Colinas with a blend of timeless elegance and contemporary flair. This blend honors the home's rich architecture while aligning with modern sensibilities, ensuring it remains as relevant and inviting today as when it first graced Veranda magazine in 2010.
