Imagine the chorus of frogs croaking their song at night. You'll hear it hear. Imagine the rustling California oak leaves as the gentle breeze passes through. Imagine a seasonal waterfall and the delicious sound that makes and you'll hear it here after heavy rains. Private. Undisturbed living. Most people never have heard of this area and are surprised it exists in San Diego County yet minutes from shopping, hardware store, hospital, freeways and just about 20 minutes to Dog Beach in Del Mar. Owners are renovating a property and are flexible with escrow period or rent back. Call agent for details. Horse facilities include 3 stall barn with tack room. Lighted arena, round pen, 2 connected pastures with two entrances. Farrier pad. Wash rack. And a covered porch at the home to watch the ponies at play. There is also an old work shop that is a tool shed and seller will not have termite clearance on this structure. Consider it a bonus or take it down. Potential to enlarge arena. Horse boarder would like to stay (one handsome Arabian gelding).
