This former cabin site has recently been cleared to open up the existing trails. Set in the tranquil backcountry of Julian, 38 Creek Rd. Offers a rare opportunity to own 1.06 acres in Harrison Park, a neighborhood close to Julian Township, rich with history and full of potential. Originally purchased in 1959, the property included a home, two cabins, and a bunkhouse, all of which were well-sited to take full advantage of the land’s beautiful natural setting. While the structures were lost in the 2003 fire, remnants of that past remain—two original stone fireplaces, retaining walls, and pathways that wind their way to the upper portion of the property—offering a unique foundation for restoration, inspiration, or redevelopment. The land features gently varied topography, usable areas, mature trees, and a peaceful, tucked-away feel. There is an old well with a pilon and a 1933 marker. Whether you’re seeking to build a custom retreat, create a weekend escape, or invest in a piece of Julian’s mountain landscape, this property offers both character and opportunity. With its blend of history and natural beauty, 38 Creek Rd. is a canvas ready for its next chapter. Situated within the Harrison Park neighborhood on the slopes of North Peak in Julian, this location is in a quiet residential setting known for its natural surroundings, varied topography, and sense of seclusion. The area is characterized by mountain terrain, established parcels, and a peaceful atmosphere while still being within reasonable proximity to the historic town center. Just a short drive away, Lake Cuyamaca provides year-round recreation, including hiking, boating, and scenic open space.
