About This Lot
An extraordinary opportunity to build a landmark view estate atop prestigious Mt. Helix. To say this is a million-dollar view is an understatement. Set on approximately 0.56 acres within an exclusive gated enclave of just five properties, this exceptional homesite captures sweeping panoramic ocean, bay, city lights, canyon, and mountain views from one of San Diego’s most iconic hilltops. Plans have already been submitted for a stunning modern 2-story residence thoughtfully designed to embrace the property’s natural landscape and unmatched views. Significant pre-development work has already been completed, creating a valuable head start for the next owner. Few remaining lots in Mt. Helix offer this combination of privacy, scale, and panoramic views. A rare opportunity to create a truly exceptional custom estate in one of East County’s most sought-after neighborhoods.
