Gated Hillside Estate With a Tennis Court in Elfin Forest

$3.79M for a gated San Diego estate with its own tennis court. 🎾

Eight bedrooms across 5,581 square feet on 2.5 hillside acres in Elfin Forest, with a heated pool, expansive lawns, a playground structure and citrus trees through the grounds. The tennis court is lit for night play. At $680 a square foot, this is a fraction of what the same compound costs an hour north.

The ultimate flex? The view. It runs over miles of protected coastal chaparral and the Sage Hill Nature Reserve trail system, clear to the La Jolla skyline, and the protected land means the neighbors can't multiply. A private well tapped into a natural aquifer keeps the grounds green regardless of drought status. San Elijo Village is eight minutes out, with a private gated back road running straight to the Village of Rancho Santa Fe.
