From this crest-of-the-world setting, the views are not merely scenic; they are expansive in the truest sense. Set across 11 acres, this extremely private mountain escape offers sweeping, uninterrupted views that stretch from forested ridgelines to the Pacific Ocean and from Mexico to Orange County. Five islands are visible on clear days, including Catalina and San Clemente, while the skyline of San Diego shimmers in the distance. To the north, gaze through the 'Cathedral Window' seeing the world-famous Palomar Observatories and Mount San Jacinto. Extremely private, amazingly quiet and very usable land. Native stone lines your driveway taking you up to the heart of the property. A truly unique 12-sided residence is deeply connected to its surroundings. 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. Look out into living artwork — sunrise to sunset, passing storms, drifting clouds, and nightly stars. 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 hardwood decks crafted from Mangaris Red Balau, bordered by stainless cable railings that preserve the views. The rear deck, oriented toward the horizon, offers an ideal setting for outdoor dining, entertaining, and quiet evenings watching the sun set into the Pacific. Three fireplaces provide warmth and ambiance throughout the main living level, making winter days as inviting as summer evenings. Three ensuite bedrooms each offer privacy and comfort, with baths thoughtfully designed to complement the home’s unique geometry. A lower-level living space adds flexibility for a media room, office, studio, home school or additional gathering area, accompanied by two of the bedroom suites and 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 such an inviting covered patio with the same views but even closer to nature. Carefully planned, pollinator-friendly landscaping was designed for high altitude, low maintenance and the wildlife in mind. 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. Perhaps the barn could be remodeled to become a charming Airbnb or keep the Round House for guests and pull out all the stops and build your dream estate? Want to really de-stress and relax? Gather 'round the campfire with dinner in the coals. Watch the sun slip away, roasting s'mores. Infrastructure supports both comfort and independence, including an excellent well known for Palomar’s sweet water, Starlink internet already installed, RV hookups, ample parking, and room for future expansion. Surrounded by the towering conifers of Cleveland National Forest, 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, this is a property that offers more than a view. It offers space to breathe, room to gather, and a setting that continually restores perspective. Come to the mountain. See farther. Breathe deeper. And make it yours.
