Peaceful, energy-efficient retreat tucked away on over half an acre of flat, usable land in one of Vista’s most sought-after neighborhoods. Located at the end of a private drive, this beautifully crafted custom pool home offers the perfect blend of comfort, style, and self-sufficiency. Step inside to an open-concept layout that flows effortlessly from room to room. The gourmet kitchen is a chef’s delight, featuring granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a modern electric induction cooktop—providing the precision of gas with the safety and efficiency of electric cooking. Elegant hardwood flooring runs throughout, complemented by a cozy fireplace, a newer HVAC system, and smart upgrades like dual-zone Ecobee thermostats and a steam humidifier in the upstairs zone. This home is powered by a fully owned 13.3 kW solar system, installed in 2019. It comes with a 25-year warranty and 10-year production guarantee, both transferable to new owners. Enjoy remote inverter monitoring and a Wizer energy system that tracks solar production and energy usage in real time. Further efficiency is delivered through a 90-gallon heat pump water heater and a whole-house water treatment system, including dual particulate filters, a water softener, UV sanitation, and two reverse osmosis drinking systems. The home is plumbed for propane with a leased tank; currently, only the dual-zone furnaces utilize propane, while all other major systems have been converted to electric for maximum solar benefit. Water security is another standout feature. The property includes both a Vista Irrigation District water meter and a high-producing private well (over 20 GPM) with a variable-speed pump and oversized pressure tank—ideal for outages or irrigation. The water system is thoughtfully designed to switch seamlessly between well and city water, depending on your needs. Step outside and you’ll find a private oasis. The nearly level flag lot offers 100% usable space, including a fenced backyard, mature fruit trees, and a sparkling saltwater pool equipped with a DE filter and programmable variable-speed pump. The pool is a welcoming and functional centerpiece for relaxation and entertainment. Additional amenities include a 100-amp RV pedestal with dual 50-amp outlets, a 30-amp outlet, a 20-amp outlet, and two treated water spigots—perfect for visiting guests, RV parking, or utility needs. Whether you’re drawn by the clean energy systems, the flexible water sources, or the serene setting, this Vista gem offers the best of California living: private, practical, and beautifully designed to meet the needs of today and tomorrow.
