About This Lot

As of July 2025

Welcome to 1691 Crest Drive, a rare and remarkable opportunity to create your dream home on one of Encinitas' most coveted streets. This expansive 1.27-acre property offers a blank canvas of flat, fully usable land, perfect for bringing your vision to life. Zoned RR (Rural Residential 1), the lot provides incredible flexibility for a variety of uses, from a sprawling family estate to a serene retreat that captures the essence of coastal living. The property includes conceptual plans for a thoughtfully designed 3,341 square-foot main residence, complete with an attached 1,000 square-foot garage for ample storage and parking. Additionally, the plans feature a 1,028 square-foot detached ADU, ideal for hosting guests, accommodating extended family, or generating rental income. For those seeking a dedicated workspace or creative haven, the plans also outline a detached 315 square-foot office that can serve as a private sanctuary away from the main residence. While these plans offer a strong foundation for your imagination, they are not yet approved, allowing you the freedom to make adjustments to suit your specific needs and preferences. Buyers are encouraged to verify all details and development possibilities with the City of Encinitas to fully explore the potential of this exceptional property. With its unparalleled location and abundant possibilities, 1691 Crest Drive represents more than just land—it’s an opportunity to build the home and lifestyle of your dreams in the heart of Encinitas.
