Property Description
This remarkable property offers so many upgrades since its last sale, beginning with an added guest house and upgraded workshop. The
enhancements continue with a beautiful gazebo/pavilion, a carport, many security cameras for the houses, & a serene outdoor walking labyrinth 100' in diameter. The main house now boasts an expanded patio, a large gopher-proof farm, a scenic walking path around the property, large concrete driveway, upgraded bathrooms with one luxurious cast iron bathtub, & a private master bath featuring a Japanese-style tub. There are four storage sheds that contribute 480 square feet of space. Hook up for trailer or RV w septic, electric & water. Located in a Coast Live Oak forest, this cabin offers both vintage allure & modern comfort. The main cabin house and guest quarters (or granny flat or vacation rental), spaced 300 ft apart, provide privacy. The two-story main residence & separate guest house showcase thoughtful renovations, ideal for a peaceful lifestyle or a business investment venture with A70 zoning. The Guest quarters has an Oversized septic system (great for developers making it easier to add an ADU), one bedroom, kitchen, & bathroom, providing ample additional living space, plus there is additional living space downstairs. The grounds feature seasonal streams and a year-round stream, the San Diego River, & expansive outdoor spaces, perfect for embracing the serene surroundings. The local firefighters say the headwaters of the San Diego River is on this parcel. Traditional fire proof Hardy board siding enhances the exterior's classic appeal, while the interiors boast abundant natural light through large windows. The modernized kitchen ensures a seamless culinary experience. Horses & farm animals allowed. Fully prepared for off-grid living if needed, the multi - family home is equipped with a Large comprehensive solar power system, generator, & two Tesla batteries. Also included is a private well producing about 11 gpm and a whole
property ultraviolet light purification system which produces 99.999% pure water, plus a water tank. There are two energy efficient booster pumps that bring the GPM up ten fold. This rare offering combines the charm of a vintage retreat with the convenience of modern amenities. The new owner will need to take over the current solar loan.
