Fairbanks Ranch

WELCOME TO FAIRBANKS RANCH

Fairbanks Ranch is truly a unique sanctuary unto itself, where rolling hills, tranquil lakes and picturesque views complement some of northern San Diego County’s most prestigious estates. The land is so beautiful that it captured the eye of legendary silent-film star Douglas Fairbanks. Fairbanks and his wife, actress Mary Pickford, purchased the land in the 1920s and today it remains coveted for its serenity, location and exclusivity. Spanning 1,250 acres, the guard-gated enclave is home to 755 residences.

WHAT TO LOVE
