RANCHO SANTA FE (June 12, 2008) – CIELO, the hillside village in Rancho Santa Fe, has announced a new enclave of ocean-view custom home sites, Montagna at CIELO. Now selling only a limited selection, the exquisite collection of 112 estate and single-family custom home sites is at the pinnacle of the master-planned community, “where the land touches the sky” as high as 1,400 feet above sea level.
“The only Rancho Santa Fe address with sweeping ocean views, Montagna at CIELO features extremely rare ridgeline home sites that are uniquely situated to showcase incredibly beautiful water vistas,” said Christine Castaneda, vice president of project administration for Rancho Cielo Estates, Ltd., the developer of CIELO. “This rare collection of properties is framed by ocean views from Coronado to San Clemente Island, and on a clear day, you can see all the way to Catalina.”
The Olivenhain Dam, a gem in the spectacular 750-acre open space Elfin Forest Recreational Reserve, is also among the blue-water views from Montagna at CIELO, as is the picturesque Lake Hodges. Local mountain ranges and rugged open-space canyons also frame these breathtaking home sites.
Developed by Rancho Cielo Estates, Ltd., Montagna at CIELO is within CIELO, a Tuscan-themed 528-home, gated hillside community in Rancho Santa Fe. The estate and single-family home sites at Montagna at CIELO range from approximately one-half acre to over two acres, with pad sizes spanning from approximately 9,000 square feet to over 20,000 square feet. Current prices range from the high $500,000s to over $1 million. Consisting of 112 home sites at CIELO, Montagna at CIELO is perched upon some of the highest peaks in North San Diego County, with individual home sites ascending as high as 1,400 feet above sea level.
CIELO offers numerous community amenities for its residents. The Gate House at the entrance to CIELO provides 24-hour guarded entry and state-of-the-art security. In addition, CIELO is a shelter-in-place community, with all architecture and landscaping in accordance with strict fire district standards that benefit homeowners in the event of a wildfire. Because of the hard work of local firefighters and the community’s adherence to shelter-in-place guidelines, not one home at CIELO was compromised by the wildfires that swept through the area in Fall 2007.
Recreational amenities at CIELO include the residents-only Club Cielo. Located at the heart of the village, the club’s 8,000 square feet include multiple entertainment areas with catering kitchen; fully equipped fitness center; aerobic studio; shower and locker rooms; competitive-sized swimming pool and spa; children’s pool and play area; two tennis courts.
Residents also enjoy Cielo Park’s 1.5 acres that includes basketball court, sand volleyball court, children’s climbing wall, picnic pavilion and play field. More than 60 percent of the 1,740 acres that make up CIELO is dedicated open space.
A new mixed-used retail center, Cielo Village, is located at the entrance to CIELO, offering 50,000 square feet of office, retail and restaurant space. Secure mailbox services, an espresso bar and retail shops specializing in designer shoes and clothing are among the newest tenants.
Designed by Fehlman Labarre in the flavor of an old Italian village, Cielo Village features a central gently sloping piazza complete with fountain, outdoor dining and decorative potted flowers. The professional spaces are clustered around this central, European-style plaza, which serves as a central gathering place and focal point within the Rancho Santa Fe community. Rich in texture, color and landscaping, the five commercial buildings that make up Cielo Village are simple rectangle structures with sloped roofs that overlap each other at different angles, an architectural style that is native to northern Italy.
