Settle into this serene country haven on 2.62 acres of flat, usable land surrounded by scenic mountains and mature oak trees. This ranch-style retreat offers 3 beds, 2.5 baths, and a layout filled with natural light and warmth. Step into the living room with vaulted ceilings and enjoy the charm of a wood-burning stove that separates the living and family rooms. The home features fresh interior and exterior paint, vinyl plank flooring, newer roof, and tankless water heater. The kitchen is equipped with a stainless steel fridge, a custom pantry, and ample counter space. The primary bathroom offers a soaking tub and separate shower. A laundry room with a half bath adds convenience while the two-car garage and additional shed add space for tools and gear. Outdoors, enjoy two garden areas, a front porch deck for morning coffee, and a spacious ground-level deck ideal for entertaining or taking in sunset views. You can keep horses (or continue to keep emus), enjoy the free roaming peacocks, start a chicken coop, grow flowers or food in the raised beds, and stroll among your fruit trees. With expansive open space, there’s plenty of room for ADUs, RVs, trailers, boats, or heavy equipment. Whether you're looking for a peaceful full-time residence, multi-generational living, or a flexible rural retreat, this property offers privacy, possibility, and country living just a short drive from San Diego.
