This single-story, Cliff May-designed architectural masterpiece blends rustic relaxation with dramatic modern lines and function in a truly unique property, sitting on nearly three acres in Rancho Santa Fe. The historic Mills Act-approved home, an outstanding example of the California ranch/modern style that May helped pioneer, offers exceptional craftsmanship and privacy, as well as abundant natural light and a strong connection to the outdoors.
The home, one of only two designed by May in Rancho Santa Fe, was built in 1974 by Warren Wyman. Its 5,740 square feet of indoor living space stretches to approximately 9,000 square feet with interior courtyard and garages added.
May’s trademark touches include large exposed beams and grapestake ceilings; a linear skylight that runs the length of the great room; and a floor-to-ceiling glass wall of oversize doors that opens the spacious great room to the patio courtyard and pool. The pool itself opens to the sky, set beneath an open-air structure.
The home, entry arch, garage, retaining walls, and pool are all intact from the original build year. Ornamental ironwork is by Sheffield, and the roof is triple-tile thick, with a tile-lay pattern of May’s design. The home has 12- to 24-inch-thick walls, made to resemble adobe, and exterior chimney tops contain an assortment of Mexican ollas (pots). The entrance contains the designer’s signature California olive trees and a mature mission pepper tree, and landscaping includes a variety of mature plants that evoke a Spanish Colonial feel. The large property features meandering paths and pavers that create the feel of an arboretum, with plants, flowers, a large vegetable garden, zen garden, two dog runs, and fruit trees.
The designer inserted touches of some of his most memorable projects: front doors similar to those at the Sunset Magazine offices; an entrance gate and fireplace echoing those he designed for vintner Robert Mondavi; and elements reflecting his own final home, Mandalay, as well as his family's ancestral home, Casa Estudillo in Old Town State Historic Park in San Diego. www.rsfcliffmay.com.
