Scenic living in the foothills
Tucked in the southeast corner of Santee, near the foothills of the Cuyamaca Mountains, sits the master-planned community of Sky Ranch. Thanks to the 337 acres of preserved natural space that surrounds the neighborhood, Sky Ranch residents enjoy beautiful panoramic views of the hills and wide-open sky while residing in spacious homes with lots of privacy. “Sky Ranch is a newer community that sits up on top of a mountain, and it’s absolutely beautiful,” says Nita Baranowski, Realtor with Allison James Estates & Homes, who has been selling properties in the area for 17 years. “It’s pretty quiet and kind of off by itself, but very easy to get to the freeway. Both the single-family homes and condos are upscale – just overall a very nice place with nice homes.”
Some homes sit up high on the hills with panoramic views in Sky Ranch.

Mediterranean-style single family homes and condos
The quiet, curving streets within the Sky Ranch community are lined with paved sidewalks and large Mediterranean-style homes. There are over 200 single-family homes and nearly 150 townhouses in the area on lots that range from a quarter-acre to several acres. These homes often boast small manicured front lawns with tidy, lush landscaping and short driveways that lead to two-car garages. Prices for single-family homes range from $775,000 to $1.6 million. Sky Ranch's townhomes, clustered in the northwest corner of the neighborhood, have prices ranging from $440,000 to $715,000, depending on size. “The single-family homes are upscale, and there are a lot of one-stories, which is harder to find with upscale homes, but people really like that,” says Baranowski. “They are also nice-sized lots, they're not huge lots but not little bitty lots.”
