Set on nearly 3.78 acres of usable land, the property offers a rare opportunity to live, swim, entertain, or relax and ride around in your own pastures! Tucked behind the gentle rolling hills of Fallbrook, the home is on a private drive cul-de-sac with a total of 7 homes. This equestrian estate with fabulous views and no HOA, invites you into a lifestyle defined by space, serenity, and understated luxury. The 3,644 sq ft single story residence blends warmth and sophistication, with 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, dedicated office or library, formal living and dining room, gourmet kitchen with approximately 100sq ft of kitchen granite counter space including two 9 ft islands. The huge great room has spectacular views. This home is perfectly climate-controlled for year-round comfort with fireplaces in 4 rooms (one is a two way between the great room and formal living room, newer HVAC system, whole house fan and incredible breezes. Sunlight pours through expansive windows, illuminating open-concept living spaces that flow seamlessly to the outdoors, where the views of the pastures, local hills, Palomar Mountain and Mount Baldy feel like a retreat. For equestrian enthusiasts, the Franciscan pipe four-stall barn anchors the property, with private turnouts, tack and feed room, plus space to possibly customize the property further with paddocks, or private training setup. Or use the barn for your desert toys, car collection, workshop or possibility to convert to a Casita or ADU if allowed. The property is ideally positioned to possibly be a grove or vineyard. An agricultural well supports the lush grounds, creating the ideal canvas for gardens, orchards, or your fully realized ranch vision. At the heart of the outdoor experience, a resort-style saltwater pool offers a tranquil escape—perfect for quiet mornings, sunset swims, or hosting unforgettable gatherings under the stars. A 3-bay garage provides ample space for vehicles, gear, and weekend adventure essentials, while the expansive acreage ensures both privacy and possibility. Here, life slows down just enough to savor it—yet you remain moments from Fallbrook’s charm, dining, and easy coastal access. This is more than a home; it’s a lifestyle rooted in beauty, freedom, and the timeless appeal of Southern California equestrian living.
