Welcome to one of Colony Olivenhains most stunning settings in a rare opportunity to own a magnificent home on Rancho Encinitas Drive. This home embraces the ambiance of the Olivenhain/Encinitas lifestyle with short walking distance to numerous running and biking trails, close proximity to several top equine facilities, a short driving distance to schools, shopping experiences, and coastal recreation. This property offers a paradise for entertainment and relaxation while on a sweeping and usable 1-acre lot. From the meticulously laid out grounds, you can enjoy the sunset views with cresting hot air balloons that so often cascade the afternoon Encinitas skyline. With well over $500k in upgrades to the home in recent years, this offering has a majestic circular driveway with private dual automatic gates and fully fenced perimeter. Once inside the gates, refresh yourself in the solar-heated, resort-style saltwater pool with waterfall, jumping ledge, waterslide, spa, and Baja shelf. Warm yourself around either the gas fire pit or the wood-burning fireplace. Eat, drink and watch the big game under the massive covered patio with a large granite bar, six-burner grill, and sink. Play a round on the mini par 3 golf hole with a 3-tiered putting green. Enjoy a game of basketball, volleyball, pickle ball or other games on the large enclosed sports court with its own storage shed for all of your gear. Connect with your inner child on the park-quality playground with swings, monkey bars, rock climbing wall, and double-decker Trex treehouse with stunning sunset and neighborhood views buil
