San Jacinto, Palomar Mountain, and peaceful, rolling hills as far as the eye can see. This 4-bedroom, three-and-a-half bath, 3,428 sq ft Valley Center retreat sits atop a private hill and offers the perfect mix of quiet country living & modern comfort-with no HOA to worry about. Situated just 20 minutes from Escondido's vibrant and up-and-coming Grand Avenue district, this location blends peaceful living with easy access to dining, shopping, and entertainment.

You'll also find two additional large bedrooms, a full hall bath, and a convenient half bath. Step outside to wide-open possibilities: energy-efficient solar power, a detached workshop ideal for woodworking, auto projects, and extra storage. The property also offers producing fruit trees and expansive land ready for your vision-whether it's an ADU, vineyard, pool, or private sanctuary. With space to roam, room to grow, and views that steal the show, this home is a rare find.  Hilltop Sanctuary with Endless Views and True Country Living  Welcome to your dream retreat-perched high atop a private hill with unmatched 360-degree mountain and valley views from every window.

The land features a variety of well established fruit trees and berries, adding both charm and sustainability to this unique property.  The Neighborhood: Set in a well-established, tight-knit community with spacious 2-acre+ lots, every home here is as unique as the people who live in them.
