Kachay Homes designs and builds a limited number of luxury homes each year, mostly in Rancho Santa Fe and the surrounding areas. We choose the perfect site and design homes that are unique and timeless in their beauty. We welcome customers to work with us at any stage of the design and building process, from complete customization to buying a finished estate home on one of our choice sites. In addition to homes that we have in progress, we work with a select group of customers to design and build their spectacular custom home from concept to completion.

Kachay has been awarded the Lillian Rice Award for Architectural Excellence. Lillian Rice began the design and planning of the Rancho Santa Fe community in 1922 and her work laid the foundation for the preservation and enhancement of the ranch's beauty. The award is presented to those who continue her vision of architecture blending with the natural surrounding, and for "remaining true" in architecture and landscaping to its original Spanish Revival style.

On the land development side, Kachay has several sub-divisions and commercial properties in California, Michigan and internationally.
