Completely rebuilt down to the studs in 2022, this modern Spanish-style single-story home sits on a private, nearly half-acre usable lot with TWO large, separate outdoor areas—and the expansive front lot is actually larger than the backyard. This rare amount of flat, usable land creates incredible possibilities for an additional ADU, oversized garage or workshop, pole barn, pool, RV/boat storage, recreational space, or expanded outdoor living, subject to applicable approvals. With room for 10+ vehicles and a second large backyard with plenty of space for a pool and more, the value and versatility of this property simply cannot be captured in photos. More than $250,000 has been invested in renovations and improvements, including a newer roof, updated plumbing and electrical, new subpanels, EV charger capability, Milgard lifetime-warranty dual-pane windows, smooth Santa Barbara stucco, new HVAC ducting and venting, newer AC condenser, and 18 fully owned solar panels installed in 2023—with no electric bill since installation. The property features a beautifully remodeled 3-bedroom, 2-bath main residence plus a private studio casita/ADU with its own full kitchen, living area, closet, full bathroom, and separate entrance—giving the property the functionality of a 4-bedroom, 3-bath home. The casita previously generated approximately $1,600/month in rental income, providing excellent flexibility for guests, multigenerational living, a home office, or additional income. Inside, modern luxury finishes are paired with warm Spanish character. The designer kitchen showcases a waterfall island, soft-close cabinetry, full tile backsplash, walnut floating shelves, premium stainless-steel appliances, and professional-style 6-burner range with stainless hood. Luxury vinyl plank flooring, recessed lighting, ceiling fans, custom closet systems, and three extensively remodeled bathrooms complete the interior. Outside, mature palms and jacarandas, fruit trees, raised garden beds, a pergola-covered patio, and extensive concrete improvements complement the two substantial usable portions of the property. The oversized front lot offers tremendous flexibility, while the separate backyard provides another large private area for entertaining, a future pool, gardening, or additional improvements. Ideally located near the Escondido/San Marcos border with quick access to I-15 and Highway 78, this is a rare combination of $250K+ in improvements, modern luxury finishes, 18 owned solar panels with no electric bill, an income-producing casita, and nearly half an acre of highly usable land with exceptional future potential. The size of the front lot in particular must be seen in person to fully appreciate.

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.
