Rancho de los Olivos

An authentic Santa Barbara-style estate on 5.64 gated acres in Serrano — Northern California's most prestigious master-planned community. 10,588 square feet of timeless architecture with hand-applied stucco patina, repurposed wood beam ceilings, clay tile accents, expansive glass walls opening to outdoor courtyards, a venerable olive-tree driveway, a 4,000-square-foot climate-controlled Carriage House for premier vehicle collection, groomed walking trails, panoramic views of Folsom Lake and the Great Central Valley, and the Serrano Country Club par-72 championship golf course minutes from the front gate.

The estate has a name: Rancho de los Olivos. Spanish for "ranch of the olives," and every element of the property, from the venerable olive trees lining its private driveway to the timeless Santa Barbara-style architecture of its 10,588-square-foot residence, honors the name that was chosen for it. At 200 Klee Court in El Dorado Hills, within the gated boundaries of Serrano, Northern California's most prestigious master-planned community and home to the par-72 championship Serrano Country Club, Rancho de los Olivos occupies a genuinely one-of-a-kind position: 5.64 private, gated, view-perched acres where no expense was spared and every detail was thoughtfully curated to serve the estate's given identity. The architecture is authentic Santa Barbara throughout, graceful arches, covered walkways, and hand-applied stucco finished in a rich old-world patina that reads as though the residence has stood in the California hills for a century rather than five years. Inside, soaring ceilings adorned with repurposed wood beam details create the kind of warmth and grandeur that only reclaimed material and considered craftsmanship can deliver. Multicolored clay tile accents distribute the Santa Barbara color vocabulary across the principal rooms. Wide-plank hardwood flooring — enhanced with hydronic heating, brings both beauty and comfort underfoot in every step. Expansive glass walls dissolve the boundary between indoors and out, opening to a series of serene outdoor courtyards designed for effortless living. A ground-floor primary suite anchors the estate's daily life, with a spa-caliber bath featuring a soaking tub, multiple shower heads, quartz surfaces, and radiant heat. The chef's kitchen brings butler's pantry, quartz island, breakfast area, and premium built-in appliances into a room that operates equally as a working kitchen and an entertaining hub. Beyond the residence, the property becomes a compound. A generous Motor Court accommodates the effortless maneuvering of guests and daily transit. The Carriage House, nearly 4,000 square feet of climate-controlled sanctuary dedicated to the proper display and preservation of a premier vehicle collection, sits alongside the residence with the discipline of a private automotive museum. Thirty-two total parking spaces, twelve of them attached, twenty uncovered. Solar with battery backup. An accessible elevator. And beyond the buildings, groomed walking trails, thoughtfully illuminated for evening strolls, lead to four distinct destination areas, private vignettes for pausing to observe local wildlife and reflecting on the estate's remarkable natural setting. From the primary rooms and the outdoor courtyards, the panoramic vistas stretch across lush-rolling greenery, Folsom Lake in the middle distance, and finally the Great Central Valley opening to the horizon. You walk the olive-tree driveway at the end of a Serrano afternoon, the Motor Court quiet behind you, the courtyards catching the last golden light, and Rancho de los Olivos delivers what its Spanish name has always promised, an integrated compound of architecture, land, water, and legacy operating as one continuous private world, crafted with intention, and designed without compromise.
