Property Description

Welcome to 16985 Via Cuesta Verde, a rare single-level Spanish Colonial on a large, 1.28 acre private corner lot in the prestigious Fairbanks Ranch community. This is the kind of home buyers wait for—single level, great layout, real privacy, and true resort-style living. Designed by Wolfe-Woods Architects, this 4-bedroom home (plus a formal office) offers 5.5 bathrooms and roughly 5,263 sq ft of light-filled living space. The current owners have completed several thoughtful updates, including remodeled bathrooms, fresh interior paint, new carpet, upgraded LED recessed lighting, and a recently replaced water heater—creating a clean, neutral, truly move-in-ready feel throughout. Coffered ceilings, arched doorways, custom ironwork, marble fireplaces, and hardwood floors add warmth and character, while the kitchen and family room flow easily together under a dramatic ceiling and skylight with a walk-in pantry and high-end appliances. Outside, enjoy a sparkling pool and spa, private tennis court, plus owned solar and a large garage with full bath and plenty of space for everyday life. The covered wrap around patio includes a built in BBQ for outdoor cooking. Set within one of Rancho Santa Fe’s most sought-after guard-gated communities, Fairbanks Ranch offers an incredible lifestyle with access to a clubhouse, tennis courts, equestrian center, scenic walking trails, playgrounds, and peaceful lakes, all surrounded by beautifully maintained grounds. This turnkey, single-level home is perfectly situated in a community known for its privacy, exclusivity, and easy, resort-style living—one that buyers consistently seek out and love.
