Escape to your own private sanctuary in the heart of Valley Center, a peaceful rural community situated in North San Diego County known for its rich agricultural heritage, wide-open spaces, and relaxed country lifestyle. Here, on 24± usable acres of gently rolling terrain, you'll find a rare blend of natural beauty, privacy, and agricultural opportunity. Tucked away in a quiet, secluded setting, this exceptional ranch features a healthy oak grove that creates a lush, park-like atmosphere, while a seasonal stream meanders through the landscape, enhancing the serenity and charm of the land. Valley Center’s temperate climate and fertile soils make it ideal for a variety of agricultural endeavors, and this property is perfectly suited for horses, orchards, livestock, or hobby farming. A charming, character-rich 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath hacienda-style home features classic decorative tile, arched accents, an open-concept main living space perfect for entertaining. Each bedroom includes its own cozy fireplace, while expansive front and side verandas invite seamless indoor-outdoor living. Adding to its appeal, a second home on-site presents a valuable opportunity for rental income, guest accommodations, or housing for a ranch manager. Whether you're seeking a productive working ranch, a multi-generational estate, or a peaceful country escape, this enchanting property embodies the best of Valley Center's rural charm and agrarian lifestyle. Fully fenced and cross-fenced, the land offers functional versatility, while both municipal water and a private well provide reliable and abundant water access for residential use and agricultural needs. This vintage estate offers more than just a beautiful home—it’s a wonderland for families. With shady woods, a babbling creek, and built-in fun like tree swings and climbing areas, it’s the perfect place for kids (and kids-at-heart) to explore, imagine, and play. A magical blend of timeless character and outdoor adventure awaits. 13511 Hilldale Road, Valley Center, CA 92082
