About this House

Escape to the peaceful Chapin Chalet, a charming Alpine-style cabin just minutes from historic downtown Julian. Situated on two combined parcels totaling over 1/3 acre, this cozy 1-bedroom, 1-bath retreat feels like a treehouse due to the mature trees surrounding the home, it offers a fully fenced yard, usable lot, and peek-a-boo Volcan Mountain views. A spacious wrap-around deck and private upper deck make outdoor living a highlight, with plenty of space to relax, dine, entertain, or enjoy the peaceful mountain setting. Inside, classic cabin character includes floor-to-ceiling tongue-and-groove pine, a wood-burning stove, newer interior and exterior paint, and a loft-style bedroom with Brazilian cherry floors and an abundance of natural light. Multiple storage sheds plus a brand-new Tuff Shed with double Dutch doors offer excellent workshop, studio, hobby, or storage space. Ideal as a primary home, weekend getaway, second home, or potential vacation rental investment. It was previously used as a successful short-term rental.

    "It’s a better place to raise children in my opinion but considering how liberal schools have become I’d home school even in this small town or be very very involved in your child class room! Lower crime but still have crime on a smaller scale! I would say equal amount of Conservatives verses liberals! The liberals are closed pretty closed minded! "

    "I live in this area so I can give an accurate rating. I cannot wait to leave here. One has to always be on watch for cougars, it snows more in Harrison Park than Julian proper, which makes driving very difficult. It snows into April. If you do not like snow for long stretches, do not move here. Rodents chew wiring on vehicles. Very costly to repair. Town is very small and limited. One has to travel 90 miles round trip to buy supplies as Julian has very little to offer in groceries, clothing and home improvement. Prices for necessities in Julian are very high. Lot of isolation. One should consider all aspects of a comfortable, happy life before moving to this area. Many basic necessities are not available. Outside of Julian proper one is limited to Satellite TV and internet. Satellite internet is terrible, and to add insult, very expensive. Phone service is not good, often static in line. Rabbit, deer, other critters eat garden, and fruit off trees. One gas station in town. Nearest city is Ramona, 27 miles from Harrison Park. Road to Ramona is lots of winding curves. Competent help of is hard to find. Very few companies will deliver to Julian, and those that do charge a high delivery fee. This is one of the worst places I have lived, and probably the worst mistake I have made in life. "
