RANCHO SANTA FE, Calif. (January 15, 2007) – Members of the Villas at Rancho Valencia Resort can now enjoy their home away from home in exclusive Rancho Sante Fe. The twelve large luxury vacation homes, that comprise the Villas at Rancho Valencia Resort, are first-of-its-kind concept in Rancho Santa Fe. The Villas at Rancho Valencia are created for people who yearn to be a part of one of the country’s most affluent and desirable communities, combined with a resort setting with the quality and luxury Rancho Valencia Resort is known for.
The Villas are located on the grounds of Rancho Valencia Resort, which gives them access to all of the resort facilities including elegant dining venues, 18 tennis courts, a new 10,000 square feet spa, 12,000 square feet of meeting and function spaces and acres of beautiful landscaped grounds to hike, bike and relax in.
Reminiscent of traditional California haciendas, the Villas feature custom furnishings, hand-painted tiles and private garden patios. Each Villa is comprised of 3,500 square-feet of indoor and outdoor living space; three bedrooms; three and one-half baths; private entry court; jetted hot tub; indoor and outdoor fireplaces and patio grill. Furnishings reflect the gracious style of the popular Casitas at Rancho Valencia Resort. The finest finishes, appliances and appointments create a distinctive personality for each Villa and the architecture will blend flawlessly into the surrounding environment. Additionally, a private clubhouse and pool are available exclusively for owners’ use.
The Villas at Rancho Valencia offer a total of 96 shared ownership interests. The current price per share is $475,000, a fraction of the cost most people pay to live in Rancho Santa Fe, or own vacation homes that may stand empty most of the year.
Villas owners take title with a one-eighth fee-simple deeded interest in one of the 12 Villas. All Villas are available to all owners. Owners request four pre-planned week-long vacation periods for each calendar year. This leaves nearly 40 percent of the year unreserved and accessible to Owners on a space-available basis as often as they wish and at no additional cost.
Reservations are currently being accepted. General Manager, Michael Ullman states, “With Rancho Santa Fe being one of the country’s most affluent and desirable communities, combined with the quality and luxury Rancho Valencia Resort is known for, we anticipate the shares will be gone before long. With more than 50 memberships already reserved, prospective buyers are encouraged to stop by soon.”
In July of last year, the resort unveiled a new 10,000 square-foot spa, designed by Laguna Beach-based R. Douglas Mansfield Architects, Inc. The spa provides services to Villas owners, resort guests and residents of Rancho Santa Fe and neighboring communities. The Villas and Spa additions represent a $40 million investment in the luxury resort property.
