Description

Drive down this forest-like private road on Mt. Helix to find this custom contemporary home built by renowned San Diego architect John Mock set high upon the hill, capturing breathtaking, panoramic views all the way to Mt. Laguna from nearly every room in the house. Completely renovated, this turnkey home features an open floor plan, raised ceilings, expansive windows, as well as a newer AC and furnace. Three bedrooms plus two bonus rooms offer ample storage and flexibility. Exceptional privacy you can barely see neighbors in any direction. Step outside and enjoy the wrap around deck and quiet hillside with 1.67 acres of space to roam and enjoy all the fresh oranges, lemons, limes, clementines, and avocados you can eat from the multiple trees. Watch stunning sun and moon rises from the comfort of your living room, or enjoy the peaceful backdrop of the purple mountains and evening lights during family dinners. This property is truly special and is a must see. Please contact Bennett Bier with California Dream Estates at 877-977-LIST(5478) for a private showing.

    "I have spent a good part of my life in La Mesa, my grandparents settling here in 1957. I live in their house. I graduated from Helix in ‘81, my niece from Grossmont in 2 weeks. Other than getting a little crowded, La Mesa is a centrally located, youthful, and social community, great to raise a family."
