About This Home

As of September 2013

3 Detached Units on one lot! Named the "Buena Creek Retreat," peace & harmony with nature and views is what this property is all about. A .75-acre lot offers endless varieties of unique trees, succulents, plants, & herbs. Amazing opportunity as a 3- unit income producing (current use) property or large/extended family cottage estate. UNIT 1: 2-bed, 1-bth; UNIT 2: 1-bed, 1-bth, plus 2 loft spaces; UNIT 3: 1-bed, 1-bth. Located in rare semi-rural country setting of east Vista, but 2-miles to 78 freeway! Welcome to living in the peace and harmony of the Buena Creek Retreat. With few neighbors in sight, miles of panoramic views, and just the sounds of rustling trees, you'll immediately understand why it has been named the Buena Creek Retreat...being a retreat away from the sprawls, stress, and disruptive noise of the city and daily life. The long, private driveway leads from the main road, through the base of the actual creek's old oak trees, through the quiet neighborhood, and eventually to the property's private spread. The driveway then opens to the property's three-quarters of an acre lot, providing peeks of what the property offers. As you veer to the left, you will pass through a blanket of trees that lead to a side view of the property's Main House. 25 feet to the right of the property's main house is the Studio-with-Lofts with a full kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, walk-in closet, and 2 loft spaces. Return back to the property's main entry area and steer to the right to lead past the gardens to the property's 3rd unit, the 1-bed, 1-bath cute cottage Guest House. Walk through the property's three-quarter acre grounds, following the enchanting trails through an endless array of matured exotic trees, plants, bushes, and succulents. Although the property's landscape and thriving grounds are already established and self-sustained, with the right owner, the grounds can be that extraordinary flourishing artist getaway that it once was. Buena Creek Road still remains that winding country road, dotted with small and large homes, plant nurseries, botanical gardens, and occasional grassy hillsides. However, if you find yourself in need of leaving the beautiful Buena Creek countryside to stock up, you'll find a newly-built shopping center within a 4-minute, 1.4-mile drive south towards the nearby 78 freeway.
