Welcome. Let me introduce you to the villages of Rancho Santa Fe and Fairbanks
Ranch! These two communities are among the finest in the world and are only
minutes away from major airports and financial centers. They afford a quality
of life that is both unique and unparalleled.
The distinctive Covenant of Rancho Santa Fe offers estate living with complete
privacy and seclusion and despite the fact that it is one of the ten wealthiest
communities in the nation, residents maintain low profiles
Leisure consists of horseback riding (the Covenant offers almost 45 miles of
riding trails), golf on a championship golf course, tennis, polo and fishing,
hiking or biking in and around the spectacular Lake Hodges. Colorful hot air
balloons launch on mild afternoons adding their blaze of color to the already
sparkling skies over Rancho Santa Fe.
Fairbanks Ranch is one of Southern California's most exclusive, private
residential communities. The homes in Fairbanks Ranch are architectural
showcases ranging from 2,500 to 20,000 square feet. Privacy and safety are
assured by 24-hour gate-guarded access and security patrol. The villages of
Rancho Santa Fe and Fairbanks Ranch offer life styles for everyone desiring to
live in the finest area in America. Schools serving the area are some of the
best in the country.
It
is also a haven for the sophisticated shopper and cultural devotee as well. The
fashionable coutures, art galleries, gourmet restaurants and charming shops of
Rancho Santa Fe Village, Fairbanks Plaza, Del Rayo Plaza, Del Mar and La Jolla
are only minutes away.
Downtown San Diego, with its new Symphony Hall, Convention Center and famous
Horton Plaza is just 30 minutes south (22 minutes via Ferrari).
Backdropped by an ever-changing pastel painting of Pacific sunsets and an
average annual temperature of 72 degrees, this residential and recreational
realm offers a cherished base for golf, tennis, horseback riding, sailing,
entertaining or basking in the warm California sun.
There are never a shortage of fun activities in Rancho Santa Fe and among them
is the ever popular Flower Show where great fun and some stiff competition
maintains a keen level of interest for both exhibitors and spectators. In May,
people "in the know" will travel many miles to the amazing, Annual Rummage Sale
for the "steals and deals."
The outstanding Rancho Santa Fe Library is one of the most popular locations
for residents and visitors alike. It is located conveniently in the center of
the "Ranch", adjacent to the Rancho Santa Fe School and maintains a calendar of
varied programs and events throughout the year.
Another "hot spot" in Rancho Santa Fe is the very special Community Center.
Originally known as "Rancho Youth", the organization was founded by unselfish
volunteers and massive donations from generous residents and friends to provide
service to and activities for the Rancho Santa Fe community. The Inn and Garden
Club are favorite locations for June weddings as well as parties throughout the
year.
Around July 4th, the community and young people from the school get together
for a parade featuring floats, music, pets and other animals as well as a
barbecue and tasty treats. A good time is had by all and this is a great time
to appreciate "Ranch" ambiance at its best.
In September, Rancho Days, a celebration of the history of Rancho Santa Fe,
takes place over several days and includes a huge list of fun events including
the Vaqueros Ride and Campout, the Rotary Barbecue, Kids Day at the Riding
Club, Family Doubles at the Tennis Club, a Roadshow Antiques' Appraisal, a
Chili Cook Off at the Golf Club as well as the extremely popular Pancake
Breakfast hosted by the RSF Fire Department and the Community Center, etc.
October means it's time for the Annual Golf Classic hosted at the Rancho Santa
Fe Golf Club.
In December, there are many favorite holiday activities, one of which is the
annual Christmas Sing held in front of the historical Rancho Santa Fe Inn and
members of the community gather to sing with the school's young people. Another
favorite activity is, Ski Week. Rancho Santa Fe School closes during this week
allowing families to guiltlessly head out to ski the dazzling slopes of our
western mountains or follow other fun endeavors they and their family have
planned.
