CROWN JEWEL OF JULIAN! Unique, commercial/residential property located a short one-minute walk from Main Street in San Diego County’s quaint backcountry destination of Julian, CA. Rare investment opportunity to acquire nearly an acre in the heart of the Historic District overlooking Coleman Creek. Elevated above the commercial space and accessed via a private lane, sits a cozy 450+/- sq. ft. 1 bed/1 bath log-cabin ideal for a primary residence, guest house, and long or short-term rental. Currently operated as a popular vacation rental and consistently ranked as a TOP VACATION RENTAL by VRBO and Airbnb, this warm and inviting cabin has all the desired modern amenities, including granite countertops, electric appliances, stainless steel sink and fixtures, separate washer/dryer, and ceramic stone and hardwood flooring throughout. The spa-like bathroom features a Jacuzzi-style claw-foot tub for relaxing on a cold winter’s day and a frameless floor-to-ceiling glass shower backdropped with ceramic mosaic rock. An evening indoors is made even better by the thermostat-controlled propane stove that provides an ambient fireplace with no need for firewood. Outside sits a Caldera spa ready for you to enjoy a soak amid the fresh air and appreciate the clear, starry nights. The attached covered patio is the perfect spot to sip your morning coffee while taking in the surrounding trees and mountains. Possibilities abound as this property also includes a well-built 2,160+/- sq. ft. retail/office building, 1,200+/- sq. ft. multipurpose metal barn, and ample parking offering potential for a variety of use and enjoyment ventures. Currently used as office space, the large commercial building features 14 ft. ceilings with custom, movable 10 ft. room dividers creating an atmosphere of openness with privacy and plentiful space to suit your needs and accommodate your vision. The functional, open-concept floor plan includes several entrances, kitchen space and bathroom with central heating and air conditioning providing comfort for all seasons. Close to the commercial building sits a separate, free-standing, professional metal barn with 20 ft. ceilings and two 18 ft. roll-up doors, providing ample storage, easy accessibility for loading and delivery, and a variety of other potential uses. With C34 Commercial Zoning, a newly coated asphalt parking lot accommodating 20+ vehicles, fiber optic internet, a water filtration system, and a reliable, private water well, this property is ideal for a variety of uses. Once a prosperous gold mining town, Julian is now a popular, year-round tourist destination just an hour’s drive from San Diego. Set back from the highway, this centrally located yet private property is studded with mature pine and cedar trees. The site’s location a block from Main Street allows for privacy and tranquility within walking distance of the town’s central hub. Very few businesses within Julian offer comparable acreage, building square footage, private parking and desirable location. The property has entrances off Highway 78/79 and “A” Street increasing foot traffic, and offering easy access to Julian’s family friendly activities, popular shops, and eateries.
