About This Home

As of July 2025

Welcome to 651 Rolling Hills Drive, an exquisite single-story Spanish Colonial estate crafted by esteemed Rancho Santa Fe-based builder Rick Somers, known for his meticulous attention to detail and commitment to timeless design. Located in the private and highly sought-after gated community of Quail Ranch. This custom-built home offers refined living just minutes from Carlsbad and the Southern California coastline.

A stately entrance with arched passageways leads you into a grand foyer, where your eye is drawn through the home to the tranquil interior courtyard—the heart of this hacienda-style layout. True to its architectural inspiration, the exterior of the home showcases white stucco walls, red clay roof tiles, earthy textures, and thick walls, all echoing the romantic character of Spanish Colonial design. The home is also equipped with 23 solar panels offering energy efficiency and low electric bills.

Thoughtfully arranged around the courtyard with a sparkling pool, this home is designed for entertaining and serene indoor-outdoor living. Whether hosting guests or enjoying a quiet evening under the stars, the courtyard provides a private, resort-style retreat.

Inside, the family room is both grand and welcoming, with vaulted ceilings, exposed wood beams, a fireplace, and a custom built-in bar, perfect for gatherings. Large windows in the main living areas frame breathtaking views, offering a scenic backdrop to daily life.

The primary suite is a luxurious haven, featuring direct courtyard access, a fireplace, vaulted beam ceilings, and a spacious ensuite bathroom with dual vanities, a deep soaking tub, oversized walk-in shower, huge walk-in closet, and a private sauna.

Generously sized secondary bedrooms provide comfort and flexibility, while a dedicated office offers a quiet space for work or study.

This exceptional residence embodies the essence of Spanish Colonial architecture that's elegant yet understated, built with authentic materials like stucco and wood, and designed around natural light and thoughtful symmetry. As a custom creation by Rick Somers, the craftsmanship and architectural integrity are evident in every detail.

Experience timeless California living in one of Quail Ranch’s most distinguished homes—651 Rolling Hills Drive, a true Spanish Colonial masterpiece.
