You Too Can Bid on This Lux Estate in Star Studded Rancho Santa Fe

If you’re feeling flush and want to move your family into a coastal neighborhood full of movie stars, rock icons, professional athletes and titans of business, here’s your chance; Casa Del Sol, an eight acre family compound in Rancho Santa Fe, one of the most affluent zip codes in the country, is being auctioned off on February 26th by luxury real estate auction firm Concierge Auctions. Previously listed for $36.5 million, the grand estate – which includes four residences and a full Roman spa – will be sold to the highest bidder without reserve.
Current and classic movies stars such as Bing Crosby, Geena Davis and Douglas Fairbanks have all called Rancho Santa Fe home. So have titans of business like Bill Gates, T. Boone Pickens, Howard Hughes and Jenny Craig. Prominent pro athletes who either reside or resided there include Luke Walton, Phil Mickelson, Shaun White and Steve Finley. Then there are the rock stars: Joe Walsh, Janet Jackson, David Gates, Tom DeLonge…we could go on and on.
The celebs all have great places, but Casa Del Sol is special. Among its more interesting features are floor-to-ceiling windows with panoramic views, soaring ceilings, multiple fireplaces and collapsing walls that bring the outdoors in, a 13-seat movie theater, an entertainment room with a bowling alley, a fitness center and a dog grooming station. Outdoors there’s a pavilion, a resort-style pool and cabana, a kitchen, fire pit and Buddha bar and lounge. Two 1,000-foot-long driveways lead to a 10-car garage. Oh, and did we mention the live outdoor performance stage? It’s surrounded by a palm court lawn which seats up to 500 guests, and, when tented, the north-south facing tennis court seats an additional 500. All of this in addition to elaborate gardens, lagoons, waterfalls and walking paths. But wait, there’s more.
Located just four miles from Pacific Ocean beaches and 30 minutes from downtown San Diego, Casa Del Sol includes four unique structures: a 9,000-square-foot main residence; a 2,500-square-foot guest home; a 2,500-square-foot Roman spa and steam room; and a 1,500-square-foot staff residence, along with two pavilions housing a fitness center and loggia.
And if that’s enough to keep you occupied, Casa Del Sol is part of The Covenant, a private community within Rancho Santa Fe that has access to a riding club, garden club and 60 miles of horse trails that weave throughout the rolling hills of the community.
Rancho Santa Fe, much closer to San Diego than Los Angeles, is one of the wealthiest communities in the world, and has been described as the definitive “best kept secret” of luxury residential areas – comparable to other beachside communities like the Hamptons and Malibu, but without the crowds and temperamental weather. It’s also home to the top school district in the San Diego area, just miles from the world-renowned Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club, a par 72 course designed by master architect Max Behr. In addition, it’s just a 10-minute drive to the world-famous Del Mar Race Track, where the turf meets the surf.
“Casa Del Sol is a one-of-a-kind – a true Southern California oasis. It’s sophisticated, grand, and nothing short of an entertainer’s paradise,” said Concierge Auctions Founder and President Laura Brady. The auction will be held live on February 26th by Concierge Auctions in cooperation with K. Ann Brizolis of Pacific Sotheby’s International and Markus Canter and Cristie St. James of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices. For more information, see ConciergeAuctions.com.
