About This Home

As of July 2025

Welcome to this breathtaking gated luxury estate in Morro Hills, Fallbrook, where privacy, elegance, and 360-degree outdoor enjoyment come together. Nestled atop 1.42 acres, this 3,585 sq. ft. single-story home offers 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and gorgeous valley views from nearly every room. Designed for both sophistication and sustainability, the home features paid solar for energy efficiency and a whole-house water softener for an elevated living experience. A private gated entry at the base of the property leads you up a scenic driveway to your hilltop retreat.
Inside, the expansive great room features large windows, a beautiful stone fireplace with hearth, and an open flow into the dining area. Crown molding and French doors create the perfect indoor-outdoor dining experience. The chef’s kitchen is a true standout, boasting quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, a 6-burner gas cooktop, a skylit island, breakfast bar, and ample counter space, plus you’ll find an extra area for dining or recreation space.
The primary suite is a luxurious escape with its own fireplace, backyard access, dual walk-in closets, and an expansive bathroom. Here, you’ll find a jetted tub, a large walk-in shower with dual showerheads and thermostatic controls, and dual vanities. Three additional spacious bedrooms and two beautifully designed secondary bathrooms offer comfort and convenience, with one featuring a water closet and tub-shower combo, and the other a wheelchair-accessible vanity and walk-in shower. A dedicated laundry room with ample storage, a sink, and outdoor access adds to the home’s practicality.
Designed for year-round outdoor enjoyment, this fully gated property lets you experience every inch of the yard. Play a round on your private putting green in the front, host guests at the built-in BBQ island in the back, and enjoy fresh eggs from your chicken coop on the side.
For added flexibility, the property includes a detached 1-bedroom ADU with its own private patio, open kitchen and living area, and a spacious bathroom with a walk-in shower—ideal for guests or potential rental income. A covered RV parking space and an expansive 4-car garage and driveway provide plenty of storage and convenience.
Set in the scenic Morro Hills community of Fallbrook, this estate offers the perfect mix of tranquil country living and modern luxury, all while being a short drive from shopping, dining, and freeway access. Don’t miss this rare opportunity!
