14717 Las Quintas, Rancho Santa Fe, CA 92091

Beautifully sited within the gates of Rancho Diegueno Estates, this Spanish style hacienda home will capture your heart. Built in 1987 by local revered architect Alex Friehauf, it is for sale for the first time since 1990. Extensively updated and renovated throughout the years with the finest finishes, it echoes the charm of its iconic neighbor, the Rancho Valencia Resort. The home combines the rusticity of saltillo tiles in the common areas with the warmth of wood floors in all four ensuite bedrooms and office. Wood beamed ceilings in family room and coffered ceilings with venetian plaster in foyer and living room are examples of the attention to detail. A stunning travertine firelplace surround in living room with a teakwood pattern is statement piece in itself. The thoughtful, single story floor plan separates primary bedroom and separate den/office from the rest of the living areas for utmost privacy. The backyard is anchored by a refreshing pool and spa. Multiple patio areas are perfect for relaxing or entertaining. Long views at the back of the house are bordered by a rural landscape of woodlands and flora, a setting that is both magical and serene. If you've ever wondered what good 'fung shui' looks like, this is it!
