Filming Location

Much of This House Possessed was shot in Rancho Santa Fe, California. The home is formally known as Del Dios Ranch. It was built in 1972 and designed by noted Laguna Beach architect Fred Briggs, while interior designer Arthur Elrod—famous for his Palm Springs aesthetic, magnified the mid-century look and feel inside the home's more than 8,000 square feet. It is located at 7010 El Camino Del Norte, Rancho Santa Fe, CA 92067.^[2] When the home was listed for sale in 2016, it was the most expensive private real estate listing in San Diego history.^[3]
