Blending timeless charm with breathtaking natural beauty, this exceptional residence offers the perfect escape from city life while remaining just an hour from San Diego.  Perched at nearly a mile-high elevation, the home enjoys sweeping panoramic views of the surrounding mountains, valleys, Lake Cuyamaca, and even glimpses of the Pacific Ocean on clear days.

Surrounded by towering pines and seasonal beauty, the property offers year-round enjoyment, from vibrant fall colors and occasional winter snowfall to cool summer evenings under star-filled skies.  Just minutes from Lake Cuyamaca and historic downtown Julian, this peaceful sanctuary is ideal as a full-time residence, weekend getaway, or income-producing vacation rental.
