Encinitas Ranch Highlands Homes & Real Estate

Part of the appeal of the Encinitas Ranch is the open use space, trails and attractive vistas of the area from its hilltop location.Encinitas is located about 25 miles north of San Diego along the coast, and just south of Carlsbad.

Encinitas Ranch consists of over 500 homes in a number of neighborhoods, including Quail Ridge, Braemar, The Links, Quail Hollow, 37 Ranch Road, Mendocino, and Devonshire. The Ranch has been developed over 7 - 8 years and many homes offer views of the hills, the ocean, back country and the golf course.

As of February 12, 2007 there are 21 homes for sale, ranging in price from $875,000 to $2.15 million. Average market time for these homes is 68 days (range is 10 to 241 days, based on the current listing contract) and the average price is $1.285 million. The average home is 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths and offers 3,600 SF of living space.

A highlight of the area is the Encinitas Ranch Golf Course, an 18-hole championship golf course that opened in March of 1998. Many homes offer views of the course, which is public, and the course itself has some pretty nice views itself of the surrounding area. There is even a golf school here.Encinitas Ranch offers 18 championship holes in a unique setting carved from a magnificent sweep of bluffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Golfers are greeted by the wide, forgiving fairways of the front nine, but will find the back nine requiring precise tee shots for lower scores. Dramatic elevation changes add excitement to an already challenging course, while four sets of tees accommodate golfers of all levels.

While the community itself is residential, you are close to tons of shopping, especially on El Camino Real, Encinitas Boulevard, and Leucadia. Encinitas Town Center offers a broad range of stores and eateries, including Target and Office Depot. Need everything for your home remodel? Then visit the nearby Home Depot, across El Camino from Encinitas Town Center. The Forum, in adjacent Carlsbad, offers upscale shopping and is just a short distance to the north at Calle Barcelona and El Camino Real.

If you are looking for things to do, other than golf, you can enjoy biking and walking the trails in Encinitas Ranch. The Quail Botanical Gardens are a wonderful place to enjoy year-round, with special lighting and events at holiday time. Encinitas Beaches are a short distance away, including Moonlight and Swami's (close to Cardiff) or you can enjoy two lagoons - Batiquitos, just north in Carlsbad, and San Elijo, bordering on Cardiff to the south.
