About This Home

As of May 2025

The Ultimate Fallbrook Lifestyle Awaits – Private, Usable Acreage with Endless Possibilities. If you've been waiting for a property that truly has it all—land, lifestyle, and luxury—this is the one. Nestled at the end of a private road on a quiet cul-de-sac, this meticulously maintained single-story estate offers over an acre of flat, fully usable land with panoramic views, ultimate privacy, and unmatched versatility. From the moment you arrive, you'll feel the pride of ownership—lush landscaping, inviting curb appeal, and a setting that instantly feels like home. Step inside to soaring beamed ceilings, an open-concept layout, and natural light pouring through every window. The spacious living room, anchored by a classic brick fireplace, flows seamlessly into a bright and airy kitchen with white cabinetry, granite countertops, a bay window to enjoy amazing views, and bar seating—perfect for everyday living and elevated entertaining alike. The home features 4 generously sized bedrooms, including a peaceful primary suite with a walk-in closet, a charming built-in window seat, and a beautifully remodeled bathroom with a soaking tub and walk-in shower—your own private retreat. Step outside and experience the heart of Fallbrook living. An expansive Trex deck overlooks the sparkling pool and rolling views—an ideal space for entertaining. Complete with a built-in BBQ, tranquil water fountain, and cozy firepit, this backyard was designed for gathering, relaxing, and enjoying every golden-hour sunset. Beyond the main residence, this property offers an extraordinary level of flexibility. A fully finished detached workshop offers the ultimate space for a man cave, studio, home office, or ADU—beautifully built with care and purpose. A detached, self-contained guest RV with private laundry and its own deck provides a turnkey solution for guests, multigenerational living, or income potential—all thoughtfully placed for privacy and function. Additional highlights include an indoor laundry room, an additional attached 2-car garage, charming she-shed, raised garden beds, fruit trees, and 28 fully paid-off solar panels—all just minutes from the heart of downtown Fallbrook, I-15 access, and a short drive to local wineries and the coast. Whether you're seeking multigenerational flexibility, a turnkey retreat, or a forever home that blends luxury and land, this rare gem embodies the very best of Fallbrook living.
