The Background

The Savory Group was engaged to represent the buyer in the acquisition of one of the last remaining large scale land opportunities within the Covenant of Rancho Santa Fe, a market where entitled parcels have become increasingly scarce.

The 39.42 acre property came with an approved parcel map for seven lots, significantly reducing entitlement risk and presenting a rare opportunity for a buyer seeking a clear and executable development path within a highly regulated community. Located on the east side of the Ranch, the site offered a strategic balance of accessibility and privacy, providing convenient access to major roadways while remaining just minutes from the Village of Rancho Santa Fe.

The primary challenge was securing a fully entitled asset in a competitive environment while ensuring long term alignment with the Covenant’s architectural standards and community expectations.

Our Approach

The Savory Group identified and pursued the opportunity based on its alignment with the buyer’s long term development objectives, prioritizing entitlement certainty and value preservation over speculative upside.

A comprehensive due diligence process confirmed the parcel configuration, entitlement status, and full compliance with Covenant regulations, allowing the buyer to proceed with clarity and confidence. Negotiations were structured around certainty of execution, emphasizing buyer capability and a disciplined acquisition strategy in a competitive landscape.

Throughout the process, advisory guidance remained focused on protecting long term value by aligning the acquisition with the Covenant’s design standards, governance framework, and broader community vision, ensuring the project’s viability beyond the close of escrow.

The Result

The Savory Group successfully guided the buyer through the acquisition of the 39.42 acre fully entitled property for $3,500,000, securing one of the final large scale land opportunities within the Covenant of Rancho Santa Fe.

The transaction positioned the buyer to move forward with confidence, minimizing entitlement risk while preserving the character and long term value of one of Southern California’s most prestigious residential communities.
