The Homes We Work On in Rancho Santa Fe
The Covenant's architectural roots trace to 1920s Spanish Colonial Revival planning, and today's stock spans historic adobes-inspired estates, ranch-style compounds, and newer Mediterranean homes on multi-acre lots amid eucalyptus groves. Equestrian facilities and extensive grounds are common features of these properties.
Permits and Plan Check
This is unincorporated San Diego County, so building permits come from the county's Planning & Development Services — and within the Covenant, projects must also clear the Rancho Santa Fe Association's rigorous design review, which governs architecture, materials, and siting. The dual approval path takes time and expertise. We manage both tracks and design to the Association's standards from the first sketch.
