Custom homes and agriculture define South Morro Hills
In rural residential South Morro Hills that stretches out west of Route 76 you’ll see an abundance of farm properties zoned for large lots and custom homes. This far-and-wide countryside attracts local growers, hobby famers, and those who prefer a more remote atmosphere. Zoned agricultural, South Morro Hills shares a bit of its terrain with a select few streets in planned developments on its outer edges. Kirk Johnson, Broker with Oceana Resales and Rentals says, “Right now, a majority of Morro Hills is comprised of agricultural properties and commercial nurseries, but you’ll also see the planned Arrowood community around a golf course.” Arrowood broke ground in 2000 in western South Morro Hills and offers proximity to the Camp Pendleton entrance, prestigious greens and some of Oceanside’s most high-end tract homes.

Rural estates with groves and scenic views
Home options within the greater Morro Hills delineation can range from Spanish-style homes on the eastern outskirt in the Greens of Arrowood from $900,000 to $1.7 million, to 14-acre thriving agricultural operations for $2.5 million. On the outer southern edge of South Morro Hills near Mission Vista High School, you’ll find mansions with private putting greens and pools lining streets and cul-de-sacs. Pam Moss, Independent Broker who has sold homes in the South Morro Hills area for 18 years says, “Developments like Arrowood are not what constitutes Morro Hills, which is primarily zoned for 2-acre to 4-acre lots in a large agricultural preserve. Parts of Morro Hills extend into Oceanside, Fallbrook and Bonsall and people move here to have unique homes on rural properties. There are all kinds of groves and farms growing everything from tomatoes to flowers. It’s highly agricultural, country-style living.” Throughout the bulk of South Morro Hills, you’ll see farmland and modern barns for raising animals. You’ll also see massive custom-builds on vast acreage for around $2 million. Farmhouses and contemporary hillside estates enjoy epic views of the area’s rolling landscape.

Mild climate supports produce and outdoor recreation
On the east side of South Morro Hills, golfers enjoy the hilltop, 18-hole Arrowood Golf Course and club, and throughout the balance of South Morro Hills, you’ll find plenty of open space to plant, hike or travel country roads. Along the way you can pick up fresh produce and local goods at the Mellano Farm Stand or stroll the serene pathways at lush Botanica — a popular wedding venue. Johnson says, “One of Morro Hills’ most unique features is an abundance of light hours without the excessive heat you’ll get moving further out. Its attractive to anyone growing vineyards or operating greenhouses because you get all the sun without the high temps that can be damaging. Morro Hills is really in the sweet spot; you can grow almost anything here.” Which likely explains why South Morro Hills is home to the Beach House Winery on the ridge line of Sleeping Indian hills, offering a panoramic vista of San Diego County and the Pacific Ocean.
