Casa de la Luz — Custom Olivenhain Estate with Panoramic Views & Resort-Style Grounds Set behind gates at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in coveted Rancho Encinitas, “Casa de la Luz” blends timeless Masterclass in Geometric Grace with today’s luxury living. Once part of the Dupont family legacy, this newly remodeled showpiece is poised on more than an acre of landscaped grounds that capture sweeping mountain and valley vistas. Inside, walls of glass, clean geometric lines, and sun-drenched volumes celebrate the home’s “House of Light” namesake. Approximately 4,581 sq ft of refined interiors include: • Chef’s kitchen anchored by commercial-grade Viking appliances—thoughtfully set apart to keep culinary creativity out of sight yet near the action. • 4 bedrooms plus an optional 5th and 4 full baths, offering flexibility for multigenerational living, a dedicated office, or fitness studio. • Private guest suite with its own sitting room—ideal for visitors, extended family, or an executive workspace. • Cedar sauna and oversized 3-car garage for ultimate convenience. The grounds live like a private resort. A 40-foot heated pool with cascading waterfall spa is the centerpiece, surrounded by stone patios, a built-in BBQ pavilion, and lush lawns bordered by mature palms. Multiple seating areas invite everything from sunrise yoga to sunset soirées—all while framed by the golden North County light. Minutes to world-class beaches, shopping, dining, and top-ranked Encinitas schools, Casa de la Luz delivers history, privacy, and modern comfort in one extraordinary estate—proof that character and convenience can coexist in perfect harmony.
