Description
The home you've been waiting for has arrived! The 1,575 square foot home features two bedrooms and two bathrooms, complemented by a detached two-car garage and a secure gated entry. They say location is key, and this property certainly proves it! Discover your own personal haven in the coveted gated community of Rancho Heights. Nestled just within the San Diego County border, this location benefits from a higher FHA loan limit compared to Riverside County. With a low annual HOA fee and very low tax rate, plus breathtaking sunsets that are simply unparalleled, this opportunity is hard to resist! This custom-built territorial-mission style home is a true gem, brimming with unique architectural details rarely found elsewhere. Constructed with concrete block and timber, it features polished concrete floors, rustic knotty alder interior doors, and Spanish tile, among other exquisite details. The expansive lot offers ample space for a barn, additional garage, or ADU. Outdoors, everything is primed for your enjoyment, with completed underground plumbing for an outdoor kitchen, fountain, pool, and future guest house. Two fire hydrants on the parcel and extensive brush clearance ensure fire safety and hazard insurance compliance. For those considering a second or vacation home, the sellers are open to including the property fully furnished, down to the dishes and flatware. Experience it firsthand—this property is truly one-of-a-kind! Set on a sprawling 3.14-acre lot, this property boasts panoramic views of Carlsbad, Oceanside, Fallbrook, and Dana Point, with Temecula right at your doorstep! Residents enjoy weather similar to the Mediterranean which makes it easy to grow a variety of fruit trees…including cherry, 2 apple trees, lemon, avocado and more. It is a peaceful retreat while remaining conveniently close to top-rated Great Oak High School (5.1 miles), Pechanga Resort Casino (5.8 miles), Temecula Valley Hospital (8.9 miles), Old Town Temecula (9.3 miles), Temecula Valley Wine Country (10.1 miles), Fox Raceway (8.5 miles), Pala Casino (7.8 miles), and the Pala Shooting Range (7.8 miles).
