Villa Pantera | Where Spanish Modern Luxury Meets Coastal Elevation Welcome to the top of La Costa not just in elevation, but in experience. Perched on a rare 1-acre bluff above the iconic Omni La Costa Resort & Spa, Villa Pantera is a fully gated, private estate designed for those who seek distinction, discretion, and design that transcends category. From the moment you pass through the Spanish revival gates, you'll feel it: the breeze from the Pacific Ocean, the scent of fruit trees and wild herbs, and the kind of soul-calming silence that only a cul-de-sac with four homes can offer. It's rare air up here. 180 of unobstructed coastline, city lights, and lagoon views stretch before you a protected nature preserve guarantees your line of sight remains as pure as the ocean breeze. Sunsets here aren't watched. They're felt. This isn't Rancho Santa Fe. This isn't La Jolla. This is the new elite escape minutes closer to Orange County, L.A., and everything the modern executive or luxury family traveler demands, from private jet access to PGA Tour golf courses. Inside the Estate: Curated Luxury Across Every Room Five ocean-facing bedrooms, including a grand primary suite with its own fireside lounge and private balcony. A sunken stone bar that evokes old Hollywood, perfect for late-night conversations and early evening rituals. The famed Gucci-inspired "Panther" powder room, a high-fashion nod to the strength and mystique of this estate's identity. Two private offices, ideal for creative retreats or working in flow with the sea. A formal dining room, chef's kitchen, and panoramic indoor-outdoor living room with ever-changing sunset backdrops. Every detail is intentional. Every room, a different mood. The design speaks in tones of joy, sophistication, and cinematic flair. Outside the Estate: Your Own Private Tulum-Inspired Resort 1,500 sq ft culinary-grade outdoor kitchen beneath a mature California Oak: Argentinian BBQ, adobe pizza oven, cooktop, and prep areas for events up to 99 guests. Tulum-style upper entry way: Streams, waterfalls, hanging lanterns, and fire pits invite storytelling under the stars. Dedicated wellness zone: Sunrise yoga, meditation, and retreat-ready privacy. Kids' jungle gym and play area, smartly separated from entertaining zones for maximum flow and peace of mind. Trails and nooks for wine tasting, reading, or pure stillness all with 180 sunset views over the Batiquitos Lagoon. Location. Climate. Lifestyle. No Compromises. From your front gate: 5-8 minutes to white sandy beaches, 3 PGA courses, Legoland, pro volleyball courts, Carlsbad Outlets, and the Palomar private airport. 22 minutes to the Del Mar Racetrack. 35 minutes to San Diego International Airport. All the vibrancy of Encinitas and La Costa, without the chaos. Smart Security + Access Gated estate + 10-camera perimeter surveillance Courtyard parking for 6 vehicles Private chef, driver, bartender, or concierge services available upon request. This is more than a luxury rental. This is a redefinition of what Southern California living feels like. Villa Pantera is for the few who don't just vacation they arrive. They reset. They remember who they are. RENTAL TERM The home leases furnished or unfurnished, six months to one year. Twelve months, unfurnished - $17,943 per month Twelve months, furnished - $20,443 per month Ninety to one hundred eighty days, furnished - $24,844 per month Thirty to ninety days, furnished - $32,435 per month The house is furnished today, exactly as you see it in the photographs. Want it empty? Give us a week before your move-in date and it will be cleared and clean when you walk in. Lease terms run one week short of a full year. Your lease states the dates. OCCUPANCY Ten residents, maximum. Everyone who lives here is named on the lease. Every adult eighteen and over applies and gets screened, adult children included. No subletting. No assignment. The home does not go on Airbnb, VRBO, or any short-term platform, in whole or in part, and no lockbox goes anywhere on the property. Guests are welcome. Past fourteen consecutive days a guest becomes an occupant, and occupants get screened. UTILITIES AND SERVICES You pay: electricity, gas, water, sewer, trash, internet, cable, and interior pest service. Landscape maintenance - $650 per month, billed with rent. An acre on three levels, with three lawns, herb beds, fruit trees, and a mature oak, runs on a crew and a schedule. We arrange it and the price is fixed, so nobody negotiates with a gardener in month four. We pay: structure, roof, major systems, appliance repair from age or normal use, gate and camera servicing, and exterior pest. PETS Dogs, after approval. No cats, no other animals. Up to two dogs, thirty pounds and under. Every dog gets screened, licensed, and current on shots before the lease is signed. Approved dogs come with a separate pet agreement and a signed release of liability, both executed with the lease. Pet rent - $250 per dog, per month. No pet deposit. California counts a pet deposit inside the security deposit total, so we run animals through monthly rent instead. Simpler for you, and it leaves your deposit whole. Your renters policy has to carry animal liability that covers bites, with no breed exclusion, naming the owner as additional interest. Service animals and support animals are not pets. Those requests fall under fair housing law, outside this policy, and never carry pet rent or a deposit. SECURITY DEPOSIT Two months' rent, at the rate of the term you sign. California caps residential deposits at one month for most owners, and at two for owners who meet a narrow exception based on how the property is held and how many rentals the owner has. This home qualifies. Two months is the ceiling the law allows here, and that is where we set it. Same number for every approved applicant on the same term. We do not move it up for one household and down for another. One exception, written into the statute: an active-duty service member pays one month. That applies automatically, no request needed. DEPOSIT SCHEDULE Twelve months, unfurnished - $17,943 per month - deposit $35,886 - due at signing $53,829 Twelve months, furnished - $20,443 per month - deposit $40,886 - due at signing $61,329 Ninety to one hundred eighty days - $24,844 per month - deposit $49,688 - due at signing $74,532 Thirty to ninety days - $32,435 per month - deposit $64,870 - due at signing $97,305 Add the $650 landscape charge and any pet rent to the first month. We do not collect last month's rent. What it covers: unpaid rent and charges, damage past ordinary wear, cleaning back to move-in condition, and repair or replacement of furnishings on a furnished term. It is not last month's rent and cannot be used that way. If we draw on it during the term, you restore it within five days of written notice. How you get it back: within twenty-one days of handing back the house, you receive the deposit, or an itemized statement showing every deduction with the receipts and photographs behind it. We photograph the home with you at move-in and again at move-out, so condition is never a matter of memory. About two weeks before you leave we walk the house together, so anything we would deduct for is something you get the chance to fix yourself first. RENTERS INSURANCE Required for the full term, at no cost to the owner. - $1,000,000 minimum personal liability, occurrence basis, carrier admitted in California - Deductible no higher than $1,000 - Contents coverage at replacement value of the furnishings on any furnished term - Animal liability covering bites, no breed exclusion, if a dog is approved - Every occupant eighteen and over named on the policy, or carrying their own - Owner named as additional interest, certificate in hand before keys The deposit protects the house. The policy protects you. Here, the policy matters more. HOW WE QUALIFY We screen carefully and we publish the standard, so you know where you stand before you spend a dollar. Income or assets - any one of these: - Verifiable gross household income of 3x the monthly rent, and - Six months of rent in verifiable liquid assets, or - A qualified U.S.-based guarantor who meets the income standard on their own and signs a full guaranty Plenty of the right people for this house are asset-rich and income-lumpy. Founders. Retirees. People between a sale and a purchase. The assets path is a real path, not a courtesy. Credit - 720 minimum on the primary applicant. No open collections, no judgments, no unlawful detainer filings in seven years. Verification - employment or documented source of funds, two prior landlord references, identity confirmed on every adult. Background screening - every adult gets screened, including a criminal background check run in accordance with California fair housing law. We evaluate each application individually against our written criteria. If something in a report raises a question, we tell you what it is and give you a chance to explain before anyone decides anything. Application fee - $55 per adult, covering the actual cost of screening. Applications are reviewed in the order received. Written criteria go out before you apply, and the same criteria apply to everyone. Using a government rent subsidy? The income standard applies to the portion of rent you carry, and you can submit alternative evidence of your ability to pay in place of credit history. Ask us for the accepted documentation. This home is offered in compliance with all federal, state, and local fair housing laws. WHAT THE LEASE INCLUDES Nothing at signing will surprise you. The lease is a full California residential agreement with the standard addenda and disclosures attached - mold, lead-based paint, Proposition 65, the Megan's Law database notice, smoke and carbon monoxide acknowledgment, the pet agreement where a dog is approved, a furnishings inventory on furnished terms, and the Tenant Protection Act exemption notice. Ask and we will send the whole packet to read before you apply. Most people never ask. The ones who do tend to be the ones we want. HOW TO SEE THE HOUSE This is a private gated estate and we show it by qualification, not by open house. One. Send a message with who is moving in, your move-in date, and the term you want. We will send you the written criteria and ask for proof of income or assets. Two. Once you pre-qualify, we schedule your private showing of the house and the grounds. Three. If you want it, you complete the full application and screening, and we go from there. We show at five in the evening. There is a reason for that, and you will understand it about forty minutes in.
