Hacienda Sur with Panoramic Views

Presenting 7773 Doug Hill Court

I love this property! Sited on a large .54 acre lot which affords privacy the views are incredible. It is difficult to find a view home in Santaluz on this size lot in a home under $1.5! This Centex built Hacienda Sur has a floor plan that will suit many buyer requirements.  There are 3 bedrooms and an office on the first floor.

 One of the bedrooms has an exterior entrance within the front court yard. This makes it ideal for guests or older children.  The master is on the 2nd level and when I say” master on the 2nd level” it is all master..a super spacious bedroom and bath suite.  There is a balcony off the master where you can enjoy your views upon arising and retiring!

Santaluz Home Was Planned For Backyard Entertaining

The backyard is well planned for everyday casual living as well as full scale entertaining. The owners thoughtfully planned a BBQ Island, a covered loggia with a fireplace and a bubbling spa perfectly perched to enjoy your gaze over Santaluz.

10 Things Agents Need to Know About Santaluz

Santaluz is a Gate Guarded Community

Santaluz has 2 main entrances for guests off Camino Del Sur. Commonly known as the” South Gate” and the” North Gate”.  In order to show homes in Santaluz you must call the listing agent for an appointment. The listing agent will call the gate. When taking a listing an agent must request the owner to call the community office and give you the listing agent permission to allow agents and their clients into the gate.  Be prepared when arriving at the gate with your clients to give the address you will be showing. Unfortunately you cannot simply drive through the gate to show agents the area. Security guidelines are strict. That said Sundays homes are open 1-4 allowing agents and clients to be more casual in becoming familiar with the area. Listing agents also will cooperate and call you in if you make a request.

Where is Santaluz?

Sandicor has designated a community as “Santaluz.” This can be vety confusing.  These “communities” include Santaluz, Santa Monica, Mirasol, Verrazzano and some condos. If running a search it is best to put communityas Santaluz (Sant) and Neighborhoodas “Santaluz” to obtain homes within the gates of Santaluz which is controlled by Santaluz. This is not a 100% default as agents are many times misinformed but should provide agents with the majority of the homes in the search. The difference between Santaluz as a neighborhoodand the surrounding homes is that Santaluz is comprised of 3 entities; the Santaluz Maintenance Association (SMA), the Santaluz Community Council (SCC) and the Santaluz Club. All of these entities work together making Santaluz a unique Southern California lifestyle community. The CC+R’s, HOA, social events and membership in the Hacienda Level Santaluz Club are specific to the Santaluz neighborhood. Santaluz is easy to find located off 56/ Camino del Sur exit or from Del Mar and Rancho Santa Fe off San Dieguito Road. It is 10 minutes to the beaches of Del Mar and 30 minutes to the airport.

In addition there are organized HOA and Club Activities monthly. I have written many blogs on the activities in Santaluz; go to www.SanDiegoHomeInfoblog.com/Santaluz.  I can sum of the Santaluz lifestyle as my perfect day of walking my dog (Max) to the club, leaving him with his friends outside the fitness room, working out, enjoying a latte with some friends after my workout and walking home. After work I might have a massage at the spa and then join friends for dinner or a social event at the club. My grandson enjoys a day at the pool with his buddies and when he is 4 can enroll in Camp Santaluz. I tell my clients,” You can buy a home anywhere in San Diego but purchasing a home in Santaluz comes with the bonus of a lifestyle that is unique.”

Buyers are taking their time and purchasing a home that meets their needs and tastes rather than compromising. For more comprehensive market trends go to www.SanDiegoHomeInfoblog.com/market-trends
