Welcome to this must-see, single-level home where Mediterranean ease meets Mountain Modern style! The owners spent the last decade transforming this terraced, 1.23-acre property into a luxury mountain retreat. Set far off the street and backing to a pristine 25-acre horse ranch, it feels like a private oasis. The chalet-style, open-beam covered patio features a stone fireplace, concealed TV, and vine-covered pergola extensions. 500+ sq ft of outdoor living space overlooks your own grove of protected Engelmann oaks. The oak grove floor is classic California savannah in summer but turns deep green in fall through spring (bring your horses!) One end of the outdoor living area leads to a shimmering infinity pool surrounded by huge palms, native boulders, and mature landscaping, all designed to blend with the natural setting. Soak in 180-degree mountain views—and spectacular summer sunsets—with peeks all the way to Mt. Soledad. On the other end of the house is a mature orchard with 7 kinds of fruit. Did we mention you’re not even in the house yet? Inside, you’ll find hand-scraped acacia-wood flooring, Berber carpeting in the bedrooms, plantation shutters, and 10-foot ceilings throughout. Kitchen and great room boast a full custom remodel: Rare-pattern exotic granite covers large island and ample counter space. Soaring 42-inch Thomasville glass-front cabinetry with interior lighting and crown molding. Six-burner Wolf range and artisan range hood built of copper and brass. Bosch dishwasher. Large adjoining great room is wired for surround-sound and features a custom fireplace.
