Commanding the crest of Palomar Mountain, you see from forested ridgelines to the Pacific Ocean. The views are absolute: uninterrupted from Mexico to Orange County, capturing five offshore islands, the shimmering San Diego skyline, and the iconic Palomar Observatories. Yet, the true value lies in the land's vast potential. Extremely private, amazingly quiet and very usable land. Native stone lines your driveway up to the heart of the property where you'll find a truly unique 12-sided residence. Old-growth timber beams soar overhead, framing an 18-foot vaulted ceiling and anchoring a great room. Every window captures a different scene: deer moving quietly through the trees, wild turkeys on their daily route, clouds casting slow shadows across the land and an occasional eagle riding thermals at eye level. Designed for entertaining, the kitchen is all brand new. Leathered granite counters with a waterfall edge, custom maple cabinets and premium stainless appliances. The great room flows seamlessly to more than 700 square feet of Mangaris Red Balau hardwood decks, ideal for dining and quiet evenings watching the sun set into the Pacific. Three fireplaces ensure winter days are as inviting as summer evenings. Three ensuite bedrooms offer private retreats with baths thoughtfully designed to complement the home’s geometry. A lower-level living space adds flexibility for a media room, home school or additional gathering area, accompanied by a generous mudroom, laundry center, and walk-through pantry. Depending on your use of the property, you'll design this room to fit your needs with so many options. Step out to an inviting covered patio with the same views but even closer to nature. Very happy horses shared the best view on the mountain from their stables for many years. An 800 sq foot garage, hay and tack or hobby barn/workshop is waiting for you. It has hosted everything from quiet mornings to memorable celebrations. It now awaits conversion to a caretaker's cottage, collector's garage, or vacation rental or is ready for your grandest vision. Infrastructure includes RV hookups, ample parking for large-scale events, and an excellent well famed for Palomar’s sweet water and room for future expansion. Want to really de-stress and relax? Gather 'round the campfire with dinner in the coals. Watch the sun slip away, roasting s'mores. Surrounded by the towering conifers, yet just about 90 minutes from the coast, this is a place where time slows and life feels intentional again. Whether envisioned as a refined mountain retreat, a multi-generational homestead, or a deeply personal escape, it offers more than a view. You have space to breathe and room to gather with this rare opportunity to acquire a perspective-shifting legacy property.
