“For a professional athlete, a golf nut or anyone who needs a place that can easily support multiple generations of family members, this one is totally ready to go,” stated Van Damm, who is consistently recognized as one of the top Realtors in Rancho Santa Fe and San Diego.
Concealed by the mature landscaping plan and the long, gracious entry driveway, the residence has an open interior with designer fixtures, wide plank wood floors and volume ceilings with exposed beams in many of the rooms. Large skylights in the kitchen and primary suite create a cheerful atmosphere; multiple sets of glass doors facilitate a seamless connection to the outdoor living areas.
“There is a natural flow between the interior and the grounds,” said Van Damm. “Every inch of the nearly three-acre lot was carefully planned for, which ensures the residence takes full advantage of the premium location.”
The two-story guest house is privately set away from the main house. Designed for guests or family members on extended stays, the guest house includes an open floor plan, a full kitchen, an elevator and private access. A turf volleyball court, a covered outdoor dining room, a unique Tiki hut with a built-in bed, a fire pit area, and several large patios extend the living space outside.
“With an atmosphere of total seclusion, this is perfect for celebrities, executives, CEOs and founders,” said Van Damm, who has a background in luxury construction. “And since it was set up with the intention of creating a private resort, if you are too busy to walk across the street to the golf course, everything you need is basically right here.”
For working from home, there is a generous office suite with a wet bar, a conference area, built-in shelves and custom cabinets. A fitness center adjacent to one of the putting greens, a large open family room, and a stylish gourmet kitchen further enhance the daily routine.
In the kitchen, quartz counters and custom white cabinetry are accented by a butcher block center island with contrasting paint. Open to a morning room as well as the family room, the kitchen is equipped with a gas range and a built-in wine fridge.
The nearby living room is set up for grand-scale entertaining, as it has ample open space, a walk-behind wet bar with counter seating, a fireplace, coffered ceiling details and dual sets of glass doors that radiate to the outdoor living areas.
“With a greenhouse, raised garden planters and a chicken coop, you can truly create an ‘estate-to-table’ experience here,” joked Van Damm. “They really didn’t overlook a single detail with the planning and the execution of this one. There’s even a hidden trail that allows for easy access to the golf course and the full Rancho Santa Fe trail system.”
Property is offered at $11,495,000.

CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — Rescue teams raced Thursday to the areas hardest hit by a pair of powerful earthquakes that rocked Venezuela, killing at least 164 people, injuring nearly 1,000 and trapping many beneath collapsed buildings.
Wednesday evening’s 7.2- and 7.5-magnitude earthquakes were among the strongest to strike Venezuela in more than a century and could be felt throughout the region. The country's main airport was damaged and closed, while buildings were evacuated in places as far away as Brazil’s Amazon, about 1,700 kilometers (1,050 miles) from Venezuela’s capital, Caracas.
Television broadcasts Thursday showed rescue workers using power tools to work their way into piles of rubble where buildings once stood. Panicked residents of the capital were sent pouring into the streets, and after the quakes many people walked among the debris searching for the missing among collapsed buildings and toppled electric poles.
Acting President Delcy Rodríguez, who gave the latest death toll early Thursday, said authorities were shifting rescue teams from other parts of the country to La Guaira, which sits north of Caracas on the coast. Officials were trying to make the most of the daylight hours to speed up efforts to rescue people believed to remain trapped under the rubble, she said.
Footage on state TV showed three children, covered in dust but alive, pulled from the rubble in La Guaira state, which Rodríguez described as a “disaster zone” and one of the areas hardest hit by the quakes because of the large number of collapsed buildings.
“Dozens of buildings have collapsed there ... and we are currently carrying out intensive rescue operations to save lives,” Rodríguez said.
Video shared online appeared to show dozens of people, some lying on the ground and others on hospital beds, being treated outside a hospital in La Guaira.
While Venezuela sits near multiple fault lines, its position straddling the South American and Caribbean plates makes strong earthquakes much less common than in other parts of Latin America.
Rodríguez appealed to businesses to make heavy construction equipment available for rescue operations, adding that search and rescue teams certified by the United Nations were on their way to Venezuela.
During the quakes, people ran from swaying buildings in Caracas, many visibly shocked when they turned back to see destroyed walls that left furniture visible from the street. Columns of dust rose in two typically busy neighborhoods in the capital.
“It started off gently and then gradually grew, and in the end, we all had to leave our houses, go outside and gather together,” Caracas resident Hector Ricci said.
The U.S. Geological Survey said the first earthquake, with a magnitude of 7.2, hit west of Moron on the Caribbean coast, about 170 kilometers (105 miles) west of Caracas. It had a depth of 22 kilometers (about 14 miles). Just a minute later, USGS reported a second 7.5 magnitude earthquake, with a depth of 10 kilometers (about 6 miles) and an epicenter 16 kilometers (10 miles) southwest of Moron.
Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello urged people to remain outside as aftershocks could further damage structures, and many people stayed on the streets for hours, some sitting on the ground hugging pets as dust gathered around them. In downtown Caracas, hundreds of people spent the night huddled around parks, parking lots and other open spaces. Authorities warned against returning to homes with structural damage.
“We were afraid the buildings would collapse on us,” said María Cristina Díaz, a 41-year-old janitor. “My mother, my daughter and I were cold. We didn’t sleep a wink; but I didn’t want to spend the night alone at home after that terrible earthquake.”
“It was awful. We cried, we screamed. Thankfully, we’re alive,” she added.
Díaz and her family rushed to Plaza Candelaria in downtown Caracas because it’s one of the few open areas near her home.
Parts of the capital lost power and cellphone coverage, and the earthquakes damaged and closed Simón Bolívar International Airport, the country’s main airport, Rodríguez said.
In Caracas, subway services were suspended and natural gas shut off, she said. Classes will also be canceled for several days, and the Ministry of Education said some school buildings would be used as shelters and donation centers.
On Thursday morning, scores of people in Venezuela and abroad struggled to contact family members. Families began posting missing-person fliers with photos of loved ones, while others shared handwritten lists of names as they searched for those still unaccounted for.
Also on Thursday, the U.N. human rights mission in Venezuela called on the government to lift local restrictions on social media.
“In the coming hours and days, timely access to reliable information and communication channels will be essential for the protection of the lives, safety, and well-being of the population,” the mission said in a statement.
In August 2024, then President Nicolás Maduro ordered X blocked in an attempt to suppress the exchange of information among those who rejected his claim of victory in the July presidential elections.
Rodríguez declared a state of emergency in an address to the nation late Wednesday. She said the government was creating a $200 million reconstruction fund for hospitals and homes damaged by the earthquakes, and had instructed the economy and finance ministers to oversee the effort.
Offers of help poured in from countries around the world.
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the United States is “immediately deploying search and rescue teams, medical resources, and humanitarian assistance to Venezuela.”
“We will have a whole government response,” Rubio said Thursday in Bahrain. “It will be big. It will be fast. It will be effective.”
He added that one of the runways at Caracas’ international airport was cracked in the earthquake, making landing aircraft there difficult.
Rodríguez — who became acting president after an American military operation captured her predecessor, Nicolás and brought him to the U.S. to stand trial — thanked U.S. President Donald Trump. She said in an X post later that she spoke with Rubio by phone without sharing details. She also expressed thanks to the leaders of various nations who have sent messages of support and offers of help.
Ecuador ordered the delivery of humanitarian aid, and Rodríguez said Qatar, Mexico and El Salvador had already sent rescue personnel.
“We send you all our solidarity and our prayers. Stay strong, Venezuela,” El Salvador President Nayib Bukele, once diametrically opposed to Venezuela’s government, wrote in a post on X.
