Property Description
Tucked inside a private, gated enclave of just 40 homes, 916 Mimosa Ave offers a rare blend of space, flexibility, and lifestyle amenities in North County. Built in 1980 and thoughtfully refreshed, this single-family residence spans approximately 1,984-square-feet with 4 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms on a flat, usable 0.15-acre lot. The floor plan is designed for real life. A downstairs primary suite, two separate living areas, and four true bedrooms provide the flexibility today's buyers are actively seeking-whether for home offices, guest space, or multigenerational living. The home features an updated kitchen with high-end appliances and custom cabinetry, refreshed bathrooms, tile flooring, new windows, new roof, new exterior stucco, and a screened-in patio that extends everyday living to the outdoors. One of the standout features is the dual backyard layout. The home backs to HOA-owned open space and parkland, including an accessible gate, creating a sense of privacy and greenery rarely found in similar neighborhoods. Both yard areas are acceptable by the city to accommodate an ADU, offering exceptional future potential for rental income, guest quarters, or extended family use. Additional upgrades include new decking, a refinished driveway, refreshed landscaping, and a two-car attached garage with ample parking. The neighborhood itself enhances the lifestyle appeal. Residents enjoy four parks, two playgrounds, walking trails, 20 acres of open space and a low HOA of just $180 per month. The community is part of Rancho Vista Estates and Rancho Vista Stables (Equestrian) - a truly distinctive amenity in San Diego County. Homeowners have the rare opportunity to board their horse within walking distance of home, with access to riding arenas, scenic trails, stalls, tack rooms, lessons, and professional training. This level of integrated equestrian access is exceptionally uncommon in the region. Boarding options include both self-care arrangements for hands-on owners and personalized full-service boarding with complete daily care, feeding, turnout, and grooming. Adding further value, the property feeds into the highly sought-after San Marcos School District, offering a notable advantage over surrounding Vista schools. Conveniently located near San Marcos, Carlsbad, and the SR-78 corridor, the home feels connected without sacrificing privacy or tranquility. In short, 916 Mimosa Ave delivers comfort, functionality, and future optionality in a setting that quietly stands apart. A compelling opportunity for buyers seeking long-term value, lifestyle flexibility, and a community that offers something truly different and is rare to encounter.
