About This Home

As of May 2025

Privacy and serenity abound in this hilltop hacienda set apart by its sweeping
views, a cooling breeze and expansive indoor-outdoor flow.
This single-level ranch sits on .35 acres and offers too many amenities to list. An
oversized living room/dining room area flows into a comfortable kitchen/great
room with a gas log fireplace and original brick chimney. Generous sliding doors
open to a large deck, perfect for al fresco dining and outdoor entertaining or just
relaxing and enjoying genuine quality of life. Newer low-E windows provide an
abundance of natural light and energy efficiency. The primary bedroom has an in-
suite bathroom and both a standard and a walk-in closet. Two additional generous-
sized bedrooms and a second bathroom round out the 1800 sq ft of living space...
in the MAIN home. This property also features a SECOND home: a fully
permitted, five-year-old detached ADU, set just downhill and off to the side to
maintain separation and privacy, with two bedrooms, two baths and excellent
views. The ADU currently generates $3,000 per month of income, making this
property an ideal purchase for a built-in revenue stream or as a multi-generational
compound for an extended family. The ADU features its own laundry, deck, a
fenced yard and private parking.
The property is also a gardener’s paradise. Lush vegetation includes several
varieties of mature fruit trees and vines, plus flower and raised vegetable beds, all
on a timed drip irrigation system. Hardscape features stone and paver pathways
that surround the house. A fully fenced backyard offers privacy and safety for
children and pets. A spacious garage offers room for two cars plus storage, work
space and a workbench. Both homes feature solar panels, delivering energy
efficiency and lower utility costs. The roof is just five years old and comes with a
40-year warrantee on underlay.
Conveniently located in unincorporated Vista (no HOA) and within the desirable
San Marcos school district. Easy access to the 78 freeway. Close to shopping,
dining, Cal State San Marcos and popular Tamarack beach with its summer-year-
round activities and spectacular sunsets.
