17845 Via de Fortuna A masterful expression of timeless French country elegance, 17845 Via De Fortuna is a newly reimagined estate, meticulously rebuilt from the ground up to reflect the artistry and craftsmanship of a historic European manor while embracing a transitional design that seamlessly blends centuries-old authenticity with modern sophistication. Set on 3.66 acres in the prestigious Rancho Santa Fe Covenant, this 10, 363 sq. ft. architectural masterpiece boasts 5 bedrooms, 5 full and 3 half baths, including a dedicated office and detached guest house. From the moment you arrive, the estate’s hand-selected antique barrel roof tiles, sourced from the South of France and aged up to 400 years, signal an extraordinary level of detail and provenance. Antique oak beams, salvaged from historic European farmhouses, lend warmth and character to the interiors, while hand-forged steel-framed windows and doors flood the home with natural light. The gracious great room, anchored by a custom fireplace lined with reclaimed black firebrick in a herringbone pattern, flows effortlessly into the exquisite Christopher Peacock kitchen, where La Cornue and Miele appliances, hand-painted cabinetry, and polished Afyon white marble countertops create a space that is as functional as it is breathtaking. Throughout the home, carefully curated design moments elevate the experience—from the crescent moon cutout on the pool bathroom door, a nod to old-world charm, to the boutique-style closets that evoke the feeling of a private showroom. The primary suite is a serene escape, offering a spa-inspired bath wrapped in Michelangelo marble, a deep soaking tub, and sweeping views of the lush gardens beyond. The outdoor spaces are a dream come true, where the estate’s natural beauty comes to life. A reclaimed French village water basin turned fountain and the zero-edge pool and spa with the picturesque backdrop of the majestic Black Mountains create an unparalleled sense of tranquility. Framed by mature olive and fruit trees, the grounds offer a private sanctuary, with custom lighting enhancing the estate’s romance at twilight. The outdoor kitchen, featuring a Kalamazoo grill, is perfect for al fresco dining under the stars, while a porch swing tucked behind the guest house invites moments of quiet reflection. The estate is offered fully furnished, with each piece thoughtfully curated to complement the home’s aesthetic and elevate the living experience. Every detail, both grand and intimate, has been carefully designed to offer a lifestyle of timeless luxury, where old-world charm and modern comforts harmoniously coexist.
