Sprawling estate-style residences on top of the world in Rancho Santa Fe

REGION — California West is one of San Diego’s most honored and time-tested homebuilders. This tradition of building highly personalized residences throughout the county is now showcased at two of the areas fastest selling and most popular communities: Southern Preserve, La Costa (SPLaCosta.com) and Upper Cielo, Rancho Santa Fe (UpperCielo.com).     

“When looking for a home, location can make the biggest impact on your lifestyle. That is why we take the time to find the most scenic views and lush surroundings,” noted Robert Thorne, CEO of California West. “San Diego provides the beauty and sound of the coast, as well as a close proximity to some of the best shopping, dining and recreation in the area.”

The two new collections of custom-inspired estates present the opportunity to co-create a highly personalized residence with the California West team. The limited, view-oriented homesites at Upper Cielo each reflect a unique and varying relationship to the land with mountain to ocean views. The oversized residences at Southern Preserve, reflecting some of the largest homesites in all of Carlsbad, provide homebuyers multiple floor plan layouts and elevation styles to select from.  The unique architectural styles adopted for both communities were developed to facilitate enjoyment of the scenic beauty of both settings.
