Incredible 3 acre + property located in the rolling hills of El Cajon, a quick drive from central San Diego but feels a world away. Gorgeous views of surrounding avocado groves. Enter through private gate up a paved tree-lined driveway. Charming and spacious farmhouse sits at the top of the lot with large front porch and paid for solar and EV charger. The home has a wonderful 'vintage' feel but is only 35 years young. Features include spacious living room with back patio and fireplace, separate dining room, great views from your eat-in kitchen with bonus family room with 2nd fireplace. All bedrooms are located upstairs. Gigantic equestrian lot with barn (barn is currently being used for events but could easily be turned back into a horse barn), 75x200 arena and practice course. This is a truly special and peaceful property with many uses, a quick drive to east county favorite Grand Ole BBQ, Starbucks and shops restaurants, and not far from central San Diego. Not to be missed!

RR
Rural Residential District
The RR Use Regulations are intended to create and enhance residential areas where agricultural use compatible with a dominant, permanent residential use is desired. Typically, the RR Use Regulations would be applied to rural or semi-rural areas where urban levels of service are not available and where large lots are desired. Various applications of the RR Use Regulations with appropriate development designators can create buffers between residential and agricultural uses, family or small farm areas, or large lot rural residential developments.
