About this home
Few properties capture the true spirit of Palomar Mountain like Twin Oaks Cabin. Set on 3.29± acres among towering trees with sweeping views across Mendenhall Valley toward High Point Lookout and the Palomar Observatory, this beautifully remodeled 1929 retreat offers a rare blend of historic charm, privacy, and modern comfort. Approximately 1,016 square feet, the cabin features 1 bedroom, a sleeping loft, and 1.5 baths. Thoughtfully updated while preserving its original character, the home features original wood floors milled from local timber, a cozy wood stove, an enclosed sunroom, and an expansive wraparound deck designed to enjoy the surrounding forest and views. Recent improvements include a permitted roof and skylights, a tankless water heater with battery backup, updated electrical and plumbing, dual-pane windows, refreshed kitchen and baths, and newer appliances. Currently enjoyed as a vacation rental, Twin Oaks offers flexibility as a weekend escape, full-time mountain residence, or family retreat. With water, power, internet, deeded access, a walk-out basement workshop, mature trees, fruit trees, and abundant wildlife, this special property offers the timeless appeal of Palomar Mountain living near Palomar Mountain State Park and the Observatory.
Sold before process. Ah, the ultimate escape is waiting for you at Whispering Woods. The privacy you have been waiting for from 4 acres of your very own forest. Amazing views across Mendenhall valley to High Point Lookout and the Observatories. This absolutely charming vintage cabin from 1929 has had much-needed updates over the years. A local contractor worked his magic on the foundation, electrical, plumbing and plumbing while including insulation. That was very special. The dual pane windows went in, new kitchen and bathrooms while preserving the milled-on-the-mountain wood floors. The original porch looking out to watch the building of the Observatory was enclosed and a wrap-around deck was added. In addition to an efficient wood stove, there is also a propane furnace and so much more. The cabin was the 11th purchase the owner made of little lots in the area. All are contiguous now and in the process of being combined. Over the years he cleared much of the land and cut in trails and planted some fruit trees. This might be the first year to harvest some apples, peaches, pears or plums. What else? Professionally painted within the past couple weeks, furnished and ready to move right in! Water, power, phone, internet and plotted, deeded access right to your door. Ah, Whispering Woods. ..
