Property Description
MOVE-IN READY! Major improvements have been completed so you can settle in on day one. Welcome to Rancho Vista Estates, one of Vista's hidden gems and North County's most sought-after gated equestrian communities! The beauty, serenity, and pride of ownership found throughout this exceptional neighborhood are beautifully reflected in this well-maintained single-story home. A brand-new HVAC system (installed August 2026) provides added comfort and peace of mind. Offering 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and 1,712 square feet of inviting living space, this residence blends warmth, character, and timeless appeal. Soaring ceilings, abundant natural light, and an open-concept layout create an airy, welcoming atmosphere with a seamless flow that's perfect for both everyday living and entertaining. The spacious living room features a cozy fireplace and opens to a large wraparound deck, ideal for relaxing, entertaining, or taking in the peaceful surroundings. The well-designed kitchen flows into the dining area and a second room that may be used for flex space, an office, or even a playroom, providing excellent functionality for everyday use. The primary suite includes an ensuite bath with dual vanities, while two additional bedrooms allow flexibility for guests, work, or creative space. A standout feature is the unfinished space beneath the home, ideal for storage, a workshop, hobby area, or potential future home improvements (buyer to verify permitted uses and potential). Residents of Rancho Vista Estates enjoy the charm of a true equestrian community, complete with a private neighborhood equestrian center featuring full-care boarding, riding arena, turnout areas, and direct access to scenic riding trails. The beautifully maintained facility provides horse enthusiasts with exceptional amenities in a peaceful, park-like setting, while homeowners who wish to board horses may do so for an additional boarding fee. All this and within the acclaimed San Marcos Unified School District and just minutes from shopping, dining, parks, and major commuter routes. Here's the opportunity you've been waiting for to own a home in one of Vista's most distinctive neighborhoods and experience the charm, character, and lifestyle that make Rancho Vista Estates so special.
