In what marks a new milestone for the San Diego housing market, a mammoth equestrian estate in Rancho Santa Fe has hit the market with a staggering asking price of $100 million. The residence, named Willow Creek Estate, now holds the title of the most expensive home ever listed in San Diego County, according to information reported by the Realtor. Previously changing hands in 1994 for a comparatively modest $1.5 million, this palatial property spans 77 acres, integrating luxury living with pastoral charm.

The estate features a grand Argentinian-style main house designed by Mark Appleton, with 25 bedrooms, 15 bathrooms, and a two-bedroom guesthouse. It also has a large entertainment pavilion with a game room, bowling alley, fitness center, bar, and kitchen, perfect for events and leisure. Realtor reported that there’s also a 15-acre lake for fishing and outdoor activities.

Widely recognized as the “Wellington of the West,” Willow Creek Estate transcends the norms of equestrian estates, harmoniously coupling natural serenity with luxury. According to the Jason Barry Team listing, the estate’s design celebrates a marriage of nature and opulence. The property is positioned just five miles from the ocean, drawing upon the allure of the coastal proximity while retaining the tranquility of a countryside retreat.

For horse lovers, the estate has top-notch facilities, including two barns with 35 stalls, a riding arena, and spacious pastures. The grounds also feature tennis courts and a chicken coop designed to support family life, nature experiences, and community activities. With its mix of natural beauty and luxury, along with mountain views, Willow Creek Estate could serve as both a family home and a corporate retreat or wellness center, as detailed by the Jason Barry Team.
