905 Olive Crest Dr., Encinitas, CA 92024
This cherished single-story Olivenhain home is more than a residence—it’s a place where memories were made and love was nurtured. Set on nearly ½ acre of beautifully landscaped grounds, the property captures sweeping 180-degree valley views of Rancho Santa Fe, offering a serene private retreat just steps from top-rated schools and scenic recreational trails.
Meticulously cared for and thoughtfully updated both recently and over time, the home features a light-filled living room with oversized sliding glass doors that open to a covered veranda, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living. The remodeled kitchen showcases Carrara marble countertops, custom cabinetry, SubZero refrigerator, commercial-style stove and modern appliances, perfect for both everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen offers a great-room feel open to the family room with soaring ceilings, built-in speakers, dry bar with two refrigerator drawers and quartz countertops, ​and convenient access to the ​outdoor kitchen.
The backyard (completed in 2025) is a private oasis, entirely fenced with a deck fireplace, built-in BBQ area with sink, fridge and built-in beverage chest, sparkling saltwater pool & spa, outdoor shower, storage room, and an impressive collection of mature fruit trees, including Meyer lemon, fig, olive, orange, grapefruit, cherry, apricot, avocado, banana and apple. Additional highlights include owned solar panels, quiet spaces designed for reflection, and no HOA fees.
With 4 bedrooms and 3.5 baths, this rare edge-of-Olivenhain single-story gem offers timeless charm, exceptional privacy, and an inviting opportunity for its next chapter—​one that honors family legacy, nourishes well-being, and is filled with the natural aromas of a homegrown, garden-to-table lifestyle.
