6977 Las Colinas , Rancho Santa Fe, CA 92067

Architecture is meant to evoke feelings and emotions through such elements as color, natural light, texture and space. Welcome to 6977 Las Colinas, where the understated elegance and strength of early California Hacienda architecture inspires an impression of authenticity, comfort and warmth. The impressions begin where an 18th century Mexican door with original iron hardware reveals an intimate portico with a beamed ceiling of wood chevrons and raised fireplace. The portico opens to a small courtyard bedecked with plants, a vintage fountain and iron lanterns leading to the home’s front door. Stepping inside you will find a beamed foyer and hand painted ceiling, a fireplace, and a patinated Saltillo tile floor. From here you will find hand-scraped, reclaimed wood floors, high ceilings adorned with massive carved beams and archways framed by thick plaster walls. A closer look and count 12 sets of antique Mexican doors, inside and out. Fourteen fireplaces, also inside and out, including one in the primary bath. A kitchen with hand- crafted wood cabinetry, soapstone counters, skylights, and a corner kiva fireplace, opening to the family room, with skylights and a large stone fireplace, plus telescoping doors to two terraces. There are stone terraces and outdoor access from every public room in the house, every bedroom, and some of the baths. While speaking consistently to the traditional hacienda aesthetic, 6977 Las Colinas also meets modern expectations following a thoughtful restoration and renovation of the entire home as well as the guest house over the last two years.
