About Us
Founded in 1977 by Master custom home builder Jim Ford, JDFord Inc. is widely recognized as one of the innovators in the development of custom estate home properties in the Rancho Del Mar, Fairbanks Ranch, Rancho Santa Fe, Del Mar, and Rancho Pacifica communities of San Diego County. Over his esteemed 42 year career in land development, Mr. Ford built hundreds of apartments, condominiums and single family homes in East County San Diego prior to moving his operation to North San Diego County. Recognized by many of his contemporaries for his expansive and innovative open floor plans, exquisite attention to finish detail, and stunning landscape architecture and hardscape, JD Ford Inc set the bar for luxury home buyers looking for the best of the best, culminating in his thirty five million, 52 Acre, 14 estate home gated community, The River Estates in Rancho Santa Fe, CA., firmly cementing his legacy within the North San Diego County luxury real estate markets.
And the Ford legacy continues…
Ford Legacy Homes
With her 30 year professional career in luxury real estate sales, property development, and property management, Beth Ford’s passion for creating legacy dream homes is at the heart of her vision. “…For 15 years I learned and worked with one of the best,” Beth often says, when reflecting on her partnership with Jim. “…Jim was an innovator; he saw things that other builders just didn’t see; he knew what people desired in a luxury custom estate home”.
And with her keen vision and elegant artistic design esthetic, Beth Ford continues the JDFord Inc legacy. While focusing on high quality custom craftsmanship, luxury finishes, and large unencumbered living spaces often found in expansive estate homes, Ms. Ford realized that not all luxury home buyers want to take care of, and maintain a 6,000+ square foot home. “…We’re using all the same elite level luxury materials, appliances and finishes found in large estate properties, but we are focused on building a smaller, more intimate user friendly foot-print. Our custom luxury home floor plans feel like an expansive estate, but the under roof square footage averages approximately thirty-five hundred to four thousand square feet, some larger, some smaller; we take what the market and property gives us” Beth says.
“Our company motto is Live your Legacy; too create and build homes that inspire a life of ease and functionality; warm and inviting, with an ambiance of exclusivity and comfort; a home to create a family legacy for generations to come. This is the philosophy of every decision we make in the creation of a Ford Legacy custom home”.
