Del Dios Ranch, an iconic 49+ acre estate in the prestigious Covenant of Rancho Santa Fe, recently sold, marking one of the largest and most significant transactions in the area. Originally built by renowned business tycoon and philanthropist Roland Sahm, this architectural masterpiece, designed by Fred Briggs, showcased redwood, glass, and poured-in-place concrete construction, seamlessly blending with its scenic hilltop surroundings. The magnificent main residence, featuring soaring vaulted ceilings, radiant-heated marble floors, and custom-milled redwood beams, offered unmatched luxury and tranquility, with a primary suite occupying its own private second level and three en-suite bedrooms in a separate first-floor wing. The home included a serene indoor pool and spa facility, while the expansive grounds boasted 40 acres of producing Valencia orange groves, a private lake, a tennis court, and equestrian facilities, complemented by a guest house for additional accommodations. Designed by celebrated interior designer Arthur Elrod, this estate took over three years to complete and remained one of Rancho Santa Fe’s most remarkable properties. With its prime location near top-rated schools, the Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club, Del Mar Racetrack, and world-class beaches, Del Dios Ranch was a once-in-a-lifetime offering, cementing its status as a landmark sale in Rancho Santa Fe real estate.
