A golf-focused community-in-progress
Transformed from a former urbanization zone, Black Mountain Ranch is a master-planned community with expansive wilderness areas and modern luxurious architecture. The transformation began in the late 1990s, when the land, once owned by Hollywood icons Douglas Fairbanks and Mary Pickford, was approved for development. The first homes were sold in 2003, marking the start of a nearly two-decade journey by San Diego entrepreneur Fred Maas to bring his vision to life. Maas' commitment to sustainable building practices has crafted a unique community that thrives in harmony with its natural surroundings. Eric Chodorow, Broker with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices says, “Black Mountain Ranch is a haven for golfers who want a family-friendly community where you can ride around in your golf cart, whether you’re looking for townhome living or a custom mansion with a view.”
The Santaluz Club in Black Mountain Ranch has a first class layout.

Spanish-style homes and verandas
Construction began with the nearly 4,000-acre gated Santaluz community. Most residences were built after 2003 and range from bright Spanish-style stucco attached homes to Tuscan- and Mediterranean-style mansions. Homes are thoughtfully customized with resort-style pools, verandas for entertaining or detached guest casitas. Architectural features include rock faces, archways, front yard fountains and elegant balconies. Lower-end pricing can range from around $950,000 for a corner condo unit, to $2 million for a 3,000-square-foot home built in 2003. 8,000-square-foot were often built in 2000 for $5.5 million, while 15,000-square-foot stunners built in 2018 for close to $10 million.

Well-kept parks for days outdoors
Black Mountain Ranch residents enjoy the 4S Ranch Park’s well-manicured green spaces and sail-shaded playgrounds. Verrazano Central Park offers a 9-mile loop trail for walking or running, plus plenty of open spaces to sit in the sun. "The parks are a big perk here," says Chodorow. "You'll always see people running, walking their dogs, and participating in community events like blood drives and festivals." Bikers can ride straight from home into the Black Mountain Open Space Park, which offers 2,400 acres of trails, with 360-degree views from the mountain's summit.
