Description

Tucked behind a gated entrance on over one acre of combined land, this unique Escondido property offers something that’s becoming increasingly difficult to find: space, privacy, views, and endless possibilities, all while being just minutes from Costco, Walmart, restaurants, shopping, schools, and Palomar Medical Center. Consisting of two contiguous parcels totaling approximately 1 acre, this special property provides the flexibility and freedom that many buyers dream about but rarely find. The charming single level home features 3 bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms, approximately 1,080 square feet of living space, and a bright, open layout filled with natural light. Recent 2026 upgrades include a new roof, fresh interior paint, new light fixtures, new flooring in the kitchen and half bath, new vanity and medicine cabinets, new faucets, and new window coverings. Previous improvements include replacement of several windows and updates to the heating system. Outside is where this property truly shines. A gated entrance, resurfaced driveway, abundant parking, mature landscaping, fruit trees (mango, pomegranate, sapote, fig, guava and lemon tree), terraced yard areas, chicken coop, multiple outdoor gathering spaces, and scenic viewpoints create an environment that feels peaceful and private while remaining close to everything. Much of the work has been done, and now it’s ready for its next owner to add their own vision and make it truly shine. Whether you’re dreaming of building a larger view home on the upper flat portion of the property while keeping the existing residence as a guest house or additional living space, creating gardens and outdoor entertainment areas, raising chickens, storing recreational vehicles, or simply enjoying the freedom that comes with owning over an acre of land, the possibilities here are endless. Buyer to verify all zoning, land use regulations, building requirements, utility availability, and development possibilities with the appropriate agencies. Included in the sale of 515 Ross Dr, APN 228-390-30-00 (approximately 23,087 Sq Ft) is adjacent parcel APN 228-390-31-00 (approximately 21,770 square feet), creating a rare opportunity to own over one acre of combined land in a desirable Escondido location. Come explore the stunning views, the space, and the potential. This is a rare opportunity to own a property that offers an exceptional hilltop view of Escondido Valley. Properties like this are few and far between, and this one might just be the gem you’ve been searching for. Make it yours!
