Neighborhood Insight
The land began as Rancho San Dieguito, a Mexican land grant of 8,824 acres. In 1906 the Santa Fe Railway bought it and planted about 3.5 million eucalyptus trees for railroad ties, but the wood proved too soft to hold spikes. In 1989 “The Covenant” of Rancho Santa Fe became California Historical Landmark #982. Questions about a property? text Jamile or Jed.
