The Space:
As you step inside, you'll be captivated by the open floor plan adorned with floor-to-ceiling windows and soaring wood beam ceilings. The abundance of natural light floods every corner of the home, from the grand foyer to the chef's kitchen and out to the veranda.
High-end espresso hardwood floors complement the freshly painted walls framed by six-inch baseboards. Every room boasts 8 foot solid wood doors and casings, while extensive natural stone accents add to the majestic character throughout.
The formal dining room seamlessly connects to the exquisite kitchen, which features a Viking range, dual ovens and microwave, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, matted granite leather-finish countertops, dark wood cabinetry, a walk-in pantry, and a deep, farmhouse copper sink. Whether you're hosting a family gathering or a group of friends, our home offers ample space and luxury amenities to create unforgettable memories.
The driveway accommodates up to ten vehicles, including an RV or boat, with additional parking along the side. The three downstairs suites provide comfort and privacy. Outdoors, you'll find a stunning salt-water pool and hot tub, an invigorating outdoor shower, two fire pits for cozy evenings, a built-in BBQ island, full-sized beach volleyball court, and a covered terrace perfect for lounging and alfresco dining, surrounded by tropical, lush landscaping and water-wise plants. Please be aware: the pool is not heated and does not have the possibility to be heated.
The master bedroom awaits upstairs with its tranquil en suite bath and walk-in, dual-head shower, and large balcony where you can take in the breathtaking views of your private oasis. For a peaceful start to your day, retreat to the upper loft area where you can enjoy a cup of coffee while soaking in the sunrise over the mountains.
When it's time to work remotely, our private executive office downstairs provides a conducive space with its enclosed courtyard, allowing you to find your flow in a serene environment. The second living room in the loft area provides a desk space as well. And for the nature enthusiasts, Lake Hodges beckons, offering a multitude of outdoor activities such as fishing, kayaking, boating, windsurfing, biking, and bird watching.

Guest Access:
You'll have access to everything you see in the photos! Every corner of this home has been thoughtfully designed to create a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere. The entire property feels like a private resort.
The Neighborhood:
This home is in a wonderful neighborhood of Escondido and is walking distance to Lake Hodges (which just reopened!). This is a great area to wake up early and walk around to enjoy nature and see beautiful ranch style homes.
This house is not in an urban city environment. In the past, we have seen spiders, non-venomous snakes, a scorpion, and rodents in the outdoor space on the property, due to the home's close proximity to wildlife.
Getting Around:
Conveniently located near Rancho Santa Fe and a mere 25-minute drive to the beach, 30 minutes to the San Diego airport, 10 minutes to local wineries, and 40 minutes to Temecula wine country, our property offers the perfect blend of tranquility and accessibility. And, with easy access to the I-15, you'll also find yourself just a short drive away from boutique shopping and some of our favorite restaurants.
Other Things to Note:
Contact the host before booking stays longer than 30 days.
Please be aware: the pool is not heated and does not have the possibility to be heated. Also, the water slide next to the pool does not have an active waterline and would prefer it's not used for safety reasons. If you heat the pool, you will be responsible for the cost of the gas used to heat it, which can be up to $300 per day. The hot-tub can absolutely be used and enjoyed!

The backyard is beautiful and full of tons of plants and trees. We pay for bi-monthly landscaping service, but the trees are constantly shedding their leaves. We have a blower in garage that guests are welcome to use if leaves fall on any of the outdoor furniture.
