Where Luxury Takes Root! Sweeping views from a garden paradise. Perched at what feels like the top of the world in the guard-gated enclave of Cielo, this Rancho Santa Fe estate is a private, tranquil retreat set amid more than half an acre of grounds cultivated by hand over a decade. From the shimmering ocean across rolling hills and mountains to the reservoir, the panorama shifts with the light throughout the day, giving way to twinkling city lights after dark. Arrival sets the tone. An extended driveway leads past handsome stonework to a front courtyard, where a cascading waterfall spills into a koi pond beside a quiet place to sit. Peace starts before you reach the door. Inside, stunning wide-plank oak floors run beneath soaring ceilings, and light fills every room. Slide open the doors along the living, dining, and kitchen spaces to let in the scent of flowers, the sound of birdsong, and a breeze drifting up from the ocean. The seamless flow from indoors to outdoors truly captures quintessential Southern California living. The great room is the heart of the home. The living room has sliding doors that open on both sides, a warm fireplace, surround sound, and spills out onto the patio with the BBQ & kitchen island. The kitchen is elegant and functional with two oversized granite islands, a Wolf range with a hood and pot filler, stainless steel appliances including double ovens, a custom jade backsplash, abundant cabinet space, and an expansive walk-in pantry. The butler's pantry offers a wine fridge and extra cabinet space, and connects the kitchen and formal dining room
