Oh to have a property with an off mountain view on Palomar! Enjoy a panorama view with the pastels of the sunrise off to the east, the Cuyamaca's and Laguna mountains, the San Diego skyline, and the drama of the sunsets over the ribbon of ocean. SEE SUPP [Supplement]: There is an area on the nine acres that is calling out for a home with these views from every room. It also has even more of a view to the west that could be captured. The property is almost at the top of South Grade Road so gets its share of snow but also has very good access with an improved road and plenty of parking even room for an RV. In addition, there is a 760 esf charming cabin. It was designed and built by an architect with big barn doors that slide to close off the windows for security. Permitted in mid 1980's as an ag buiding, it has been remodeled along the years. It is currently a full time residence with a sleeping area for a queen bed. A ladder takes you to the stand up loft used as an office but could also have an extra bed. There is a trex deck for relaxing or entertaining. You'll have no electric bill to complain about using the solar system with a generator and battery back up. There is a full kitchen and a bathroom with a shower. It is plumbed for a washer and dryer. There is a deeded well share with a neighbor that provides delicious water Palomar is famous for, along with your own 5000 gallon tank. A new septic tank was installed in 2001. Cell phones work great and you can use a dish for internet access. Two sheds give you extra storage with a small work shop area. This does need to be a cash sale. Some people refinance their primary residence to own a piece of paradise on Palomar . ..
