About This Property

Custom Buena Creek-area Vista retreat on a fully fenced, usable 1.19-acre parcel with views, solar, irrigation well, attached garage, detached garage/shop, and a truly unique indoor/outdoor pool experience.   Set among custom homes on larger lots, this split-level property offers a rare mix of privacy, flexibility, outdoor living, and everyday convenience. A gated entry leads to a drive-through/pull-through driveway with access from both ends of the property, ideal for multiple vehicles, work trucks, trailers, toys, or car enthusiasts.  Inside, the main level opens to a light-filled family/living room with warm wood floors, fireplace, large windows, and an easy flow into the dining area and kitchen. The kitchen offers abundant cabinetry, generous counter space, stainless appliances, and direct access toward the expansive east-facing wraparound deck. The deck wraps around the northeast corner of the home and captures beautiful sunrise, hillside, and valley views.   The flexible split-level layout includes a main-level bedroom, upper-level primary suite, additional upper-level bedroom space, and a lower level currently arranged with a fourth bedroom area plus flex/common space. The lower level opens directly to one of the home's standout features: a gas and solar-heated pool and spa with an indoor/outdoor design, creating a fun and memorable setting for year-round use, entertaining, and everyday relaxation.   Outdoors, the property lives large. Enjoy usable flat space, mature landscaping and fruit trees, turf-style play/lounge areas, a covered gazebo, fire pit seating area, pool patio, rear yard access, and plenty of room for gardening, animals, storage, parking, hobbies, or future vision. In addition to the oversized attached two-car garage, the detached garage/shop provides valuable extra space for vehicles, equipment, tools, projects, or storage. No HOA and no Mello-Roos.   A distinctive custom home with acreage, views, solar, well water for irrigation, and exceptional flexibility in one of Vista's most desirable semi-rural pockets.

Beautiful custom home in the Buena Creek area of Vista! Move in ready home with a mid century modern feel and great views to the NE & SE from the 180 degree wrap around deck. Inside is light and bright with gorgeous wood style floors, loads of updated windows, great flow between living areas and an indoor/outdoor pool with large bonus/recreation room! Flat, usable 1.19 acres with shed, outbuilding and rear yard access. Paid off solar AND irrigation well to keep utility bills low! See supplement for more! This is a very cool, unique home in a great location. Let's start with the overall location. Sunkist Drive is right off of Monte Vista Drive between Buena Creek Road and Foothill Drive. Most of the homes around it are custom built and on larger lots so you don't have neighbors right on top of you. The home is just a few minutes to downtown Vista, the Vista Business Park, and Carlsbad Businesses but when you are home you feel like you are miles away and out in the country. If you need to get on the freeway you head East on Buena Creek Road and I-15 is about 5-10 minutes away. Head South on Monte Vista and I-78 is about the same distance. You can get to the coast, inland, or just about anywhere in San Diego County easily. The Buena Creek valley also benefits from some of the best weather in all of San Diego county. Just far enough inland to avoid most of the marine layer in the Spring, but close enough to the coast to avoid extremes in heat, and just about everything grows well! Lemon, Mandarin, Satsuma, Lime, Tangerine, Pomelo, Avocado, Sapota, Guava, Cherimoya, Persimmon, Grapefruit, Blood Oranges and more all grow on this fully fenced, gated 1.19 acre lot! There is also a well on the property that provides all the water for irrigation to keep those pesky San Diego water bills down...and don't forget about the 16 photovoltaic solar panels on the roof that help power it all and keep electric bills low! Inside is move in ready with room to put your own finishin...
