About This Property

Some properties give you a home. Others give you a lifestyle. 45251 La Cruz Drive gives you the canvas to create your own. Welcome to a rare opportunity in the coveted De Luz community, where panoramic rolling-hill views, privacy, usable acreage, and endless potential come together on approximately 5.27 acres of natural beauty. Perched amid the hills of De Luz, this beautifully renovated single-story 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom residence offers approximately 1,587 square feet of comfortable, turnkey living. The bright and inviting interior features an open-concept floor plan designed for everyday living and entertaining. The modern kitchen showcases crisp finishes and stainless-steel appliances, flowing seamlessly into the dining and living areas, while the fireplace creates a warm focal point for relaxing evenings or gathering with friends and family. But the true opportunity lies beyond the walls. 5.27 acres of possibility. The property features multiple expansive, level areas offering an exceptional canvas for your vision-whether that means a resort-style pool, private sports court, additional garage or workshop, guest accommodations, gardens, an orchard, vineyard, or another future improvement, subject to applicable approvals. The property also offers horse-property potential, with usable acreage that may accommodate an equestrian lifestyle, including potential space for a barn, riding area, and equipment. Adding to the property's natural charm is a seasonal stream that runs through the lower portion of the property, creating a peaceful setting to enjoy with your morning coffee or an evening glass of wine. Mature landscaping and established fruit trees-including pomegranate, guava, and lemon-further enhance the setting. The property offers a unique combination of privacy, natural beauty, usable land, and low-maintenance grounds. Located in the highly desirable De Luz community, you'll enjoy the serenity and privacy of acreage while remaining just minutes from Old Town Temecula, world-class wineries, acclaimed dining, shopping, and major highways. The elevated setting also benefits from refreshing coastal breezes and the unique climate that makes De Luz such a sought-after destination. Privacy. Views. Acreage. Possibility. This isn't simply a home on land-it's an opportunity to own a piece of De Luz and create the property you've always imagined. Own the land. Create the lifestyle.
