Most homes greet you at a front door. This one greets you in a courtyard — mature trees overhead, a wood-burning fireplace, the soft movement of water — and asks you to slow down before you’ve even arrived. This is a property designed with intention — where every detail, from the locally sourced wood beams overhead to the alder-trimmed doors and walls of French doors, was chosen to create something that feels less like a house and more like a state of mind. Light moves through the space differently here. So does time. The heart of the home is a chef’s kitchen that flows seamlessly into living, dining, and outdoor spaces — appointed with a walk-in butler’s pantry, and anchored by a handcrafted staircase that connects the home’s generous layout. Four fireplaces add warmth and character throughout. The first floor presents a formal living room, a full guest suite, a private office, and an indoor current pool — a rare amenity that transforms the daily ritual of movement into something genuinely restorative, regardless of the season. Beyond the residence, a detached workshop powered by a 600-amp commercial-grade meter stands ready for any creative or professional endeavor at the highest level. Oversized garages, open land, and thoughtful utility infrastructure support a property built not just for living, but for building something meaningful. The equestrian facilities are equally serious: three stables, two tack rooms, a lighted 100’ x 200’ arena, and a 60’ round pen — a complete, competition-ready setup on land near Cuyamaca Rancho State Park and its 100+ miles of riding trail Thriving oaks, mature fruit trees, owned solar, and 8.56 private acres partly bordered by forest service land complete an estate that is as rare as it is refined. To live here is not simply to own a remarkable property. It is to inhabit a way of life that most people only imagine. Now entertaining offers between $2,825,000 and $2,900,000.
