Next step in Rancho Santa Fe Garden Club sale likely to be mid-October

By Karen Billing

The Rancho Santa Fe Garden Club board won’t likely make a decision on the sale of its clubhouse until mid-October, according to co-president Fred Wasserman. The 1.04-acre property, home to the 7,974-square-foot clubhouse, has been listed with Colliers International and the realtors are handling all offers submitted. Nobody on the board is discussing the offers, Wasserman said — it is all going through Colliers.

“In mid-October the board will meet and review all the offers submitted and select the best offer or maybe a couple and we will ask for a re-offer from the finalists,” Wasserman said.

Wasserman said the RSF Garden Club board will then make the final selection and negotiate a purchase price and sale agreement. The sale will then go before the Garden Club membership for a vote.

“We’re hopeful that we’ll find someone that wants to keep the facility available to the community,” Wasserman said.
