Property Detail

Description

Seller is offering a credit toward a 2/1 rate buydown with an acceptable offer! This private retreat sits on nearly one acre off a private lane in the Del Dios community, above Lake Hodges and minutes from Rancho Santa Fe. Newer AC and owned solar with 2 Tesla batteries keep it comfortable and efficient. Upstairs, a private studio suite with its own entrance, balcony, and kitchenette offers flexibility for multigenerational living, guests, or a home office. A detached office/art studio has its own gated drive, and a rare full basement adds storage or for an optional bedroom. The home has been reimagined throughout, with herringbone hardwood, exotic marble, and plaster finishes under vaulted ceilings, plus a two-sided gas fireplace, operable skylights, and a ZLINE range. A gallery walkway on the top floor looks down over the kitchen and living room. Outside, the wrap-around deck looks out over Lake Hodges, layered mountains, and trees. A king palm, pergola, fruit and flowering trees, and a footbridge over a seasonal creek lead to a hiking trail that starts right in the backyard, with the Del Dios Highlands Preserve and Lake Hodges trail systems close by. Close to town, yet worlds away.
