Country Estate Home

Arriving here feels like a quiet reveal and a scenic climb through rolling, rock-studded hills and winding passes, now draped in lush seasonal green, where the noise of the city gives way to open sky and breathing room. Just 15 - 20 minutes from Jamuls business core, this nearly 10 acres in an elevated highlands enclave, delivers a rare balance of accessibility and true retreat. Perched high above the valley with sweeping panoramic views, the property lives like a private, nature-wrapped escape, serene, hidden, and deeply restorative. Beyond the automatic gate, a long private drive leads to generous parking and a rustic, winding path that sets the tone for the homes warm, tucked-away arrival. Inside, soaring ceilings and expansive sight lines open to a grand, light-filled living room where oversized windows frame the picture book valley panoramas, while the adjoining kitchen is backed by a dramatic wall of tall windows capturing the natural rock scapes behind, including views toward Lyons Peak. Both the living room and kitchen flow into a country-style dining room that serves as the true heart of daily living and gathering. Beyond its serene setting in the rolling hills, this home delivers the rare comfort of knowing so many details have already been thoughtfully reimagined. The floor plan is smart living offering a spacious primary suite, including grand bath and wardrobe. There is a wonderful set up of a Jack and Jill bedroom pairing on either side of a common bath. The 4th bedroom is currently used as an office without closet but featuring a half bath that can be expanded to include a shower to make it a true en-suite. The home carries a modern yet understated design sensibility, with gathering spaces that feel open, relaxed, and naturally connected to the landscape. The grand dining area opens directly to an inviting entertainment patio featuring an above-ground pool and surrounding sun deck, while a spacious garage with its own access drive and additional side parking provides excellent flexibility for vehicles and utility use. Meandering trails, a seasonal natural stream during heavier rains, and a quaint footbridge leading to a rustic guest house with a storybook-style front porch create a rare, lifestyle-rich setting - ideal for guests, a studio, or a creative retreat. Additional features include an owned solar system, two wells (one with a 10, 000-gallon storage tank) and a whole-house water filtration system. The grounds also offer multiple storage containers, a backup generator, and a four-seat Polaris side-by-side, all of which will convey with the property. Also included are the custom 10-seat dining room set with matching hutch, as well as the sound system. This nearly 10-acre elevated highlands site also presents a compelling canvas for future expansion into a signature estate compound. The natural topography and view corridors are well suited for features such as an infinity-edge pool, additional auxiliary living quarters, and resort-style amenities, allowing a new owner to scale the vision while preserving privacy and dramatic outlooks. Few properties offer this blend of immediate lifestyle enjoyment and long-range estate level upside.
