Come away to a very private, peaceful, custom home with extraordinary views and one mile of frontage bordering National Forest. Be totally independent, self-sufficient, off-grid with your own solar, generator and battery back-up system and excellent well. Look out over 77 acres, with no one else in sight but the majestic birds and other wildlife enjoying this amazing setting. Owning 77 acres give you the bragging rights of all that land with easy-care having less than 2 acres as level/usable. Room for a big barn and an ADU. Take-your-breath-away sunrises and linger awhile 'round the campfire enjoying the sunset sky with Four Seasons of beauty. The owner completed his dream home in 2018. Quality craftsmanship throughout with 2x6 construction, insulation also in interior walls and so much more. Welcome family and friends through the knotty alder, double front doors. They'll all be drawn to the views out across your 77 acres. Wood burning, heatilator fireplace will be especially appreciated when you are occasionally treated to a Winter Wonderland. At 3500 feet elevation, you don't get near the snow we get at the top of the mountain. Just enough snow for some magical times but this SoCal Sun comes out so fast a plow isn't normally needed. The open kitchen has lots of storage, alder cabinets, granite counters, high-end appliances and a sit-down island. Set out the appetizers and let the party begin. Large master suite with a tiled shower and huge walk-in closet. French doors take you out to the view. In the opposite end of the home you'll find two more bedrooms, a full bath plus a large laundry and utility room. Attached 3 car garage has several workbenches and good storage, a separate room houses the solar battery system that was designed to double in size. The 77 acres is fenced and has a solar gate and paved driveway. Like to gather your own fresh eggs? The chicken coop is ready and waiting for your flock. A tractor barn/workshop also has covered storage that houses the large propane tank and generator. At the other end of the property is another road into a pad that could perhaps be developed. The owner had his trailer parked there when he first purchased so it has lots of potential. What would your plans be for this mountain paradise? The home is completed, sparkling clean and ready to move right in. You're invited to join us, living on the mountain full time. Or, savor your time here as a weekend getaway and perhaps share what you create as a vacation rental? Would you like to add a guest house or ADU? There's room for both. Landscaping is left up to you. What is your dream? How about a big greenhouse for your fresh vegetables? So many options. Your mailing address is Santa Ysabel, but this land is tucked away on beautiful Palomar Mountain, 5 miles up the East Grade from Hwy 76. Palomar is a well-kept secret and very rural. You'd think you were in Montana or Idaho. But so close to Orange County and San Diego airports. The Pacific Ocean is an hour and a half down the road. Shopping is in Escondido, Temecula or Ramona. Head east and drop down to the largest state park in California, Borrego Springs. Lots of adventure awaits. Be sure to see the fly-over video. Who is going to make it YOURS?
