At the crossroads of Via de la Valle and Calzada del Bosque in beautiful Rancho Santa Fe sits a long-neglected property that represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to provide seniors, who are eager to remain in the Ranch as they age, with a luxury senior living solution. Plans to transform this 30-acre site into a luxury retirement community are currently underway, led by AmeriCare Health & Retirement, an award-winning, local owner, operator and leader in senior living for nearly 40 years.
With just 23% of the land allocated for structures, the community strikes a careful balance between attractive open spaces and modern amenities, all while blending seamlessly into the character of the surrounding Ranch neighborhoods. Expansive, lushly landscaped setbacks along the community’s perimeter will significantly enhance the existing streetscape and preserve roadside vistas for passing motorists, while the guard-gated entrance ensures privacy and peace of mind for residents.
Serving as the vibrant hub of the community, Silvergate’s Central Clubhouse will beckon residents together to socialize and engage in a myriad of activities. Clubhouse amenities include a grand ballroom, game rooms, arts and crafts studios, an onsite library, theater, private meeting spaces, concierge services and more. Just outside the Clubhouse doors, residents will step into a serene, park-like central courtyard, offering an ideal setting for open-air entertainment, social gatherings, or simply relaxing with neighbors and friends.
Just a short walk from the community’s cottage and apartment homes are a private fine dining restaurant and a more casual Bistro Bar & Grill, both serving residents resort-style cuisine handcrafted from the finest seasonal ingredients by a skilled master Chef.
Silvergate Rancho Santa Fe will offer 42 exquisitely appointed cottage homes, showcasing the classic Spanish architectural style that is a hallmark of the Ranch. The Two Bedroom Den and Three Bedroom Den cottage designs will boast some of the largest senior living floorplans in the industry, ranging from 2,000 to 2,500 square feet. These lavish single-story residences will feature full kitchens, vaulted ceilings, outdoor patios and attached 2-car garages. With close proximity to activities, dining venues and a private, underground parking garage, Silvergate’s 94 luxurious apartment homes will place residents right in the heart of the community.
Floorplans will include spacious, two-bedroom and two-bedroom-with-den designs with full kitchens. These 1,400 to 1,700 square foot single-level apartment homes will make transitioning into active senior living both attractive and manageable.
As the centerpiece of Silvergate’s outdoor amenities belt, the community’s stand-alone Wellness Center will feature a senior-friendly fitness center, a lap pool, his and her saunas, private locker rooms, massage and physical therapy facilities as well as a host of salon and spa services. Residents at Silvergate also will enjoy private outdoor amenities like a signature chipping green, bocce and pickleball courts, and private natures trails – all to provide the independent, active lifestyle seniors desire and expect.
Silvergate’s dedicated, all-private Memory Care Suites building features a unique Neighborhood Design where residents who are living with Alzheimer’s disease, dementia or memory loss receive 24-hour supervised care in a safe and secure home-like setting.
If approved, Silvergate Rancho Santa Fe is slated to open in 2028 and will be more than just a place to live – it will be a once in a lifetime opportunity to bring luxury senior living to Rancho Santa Fe.
