A Fortified Retreat, Hidden in Plain Sight Gated. Secluded. Set within 4.12 acres inside a protected ecological preserve, this is a property built for those who value their solitude and their sightlines. Sweeping 360-degree views stretch out in every direction, with only two neighboring properties visible, the rest is uninterrupted land and sky, protected from future development by the preserve itself. This isn't just a home. It's a basecamp. Run the perimeter on your own private trail system, marked at the trailhead by a stacked stone cairn. Post up at scenic overlooks that are yours alone. Cool off in the pool after a day spent scouting the land or disappear into the woodworker's shed,a fully enclosed workshop built for whatever you're building next, ideas or otherwise. Inside, the compound is as comfortable as it is defensible: exposed beams, a brick fireplace built to last, fresh paint, tough-as-nails luxury vinyl plank flooring, and dual-pane windows that keep the elements out and the energy bills down. The layout is flexible by design with three bedrooms upstairs anchored by a private primary suite, and a separate ground-floor wing with its own entrance, ideal as a private office, guest quarters, or a self-contained space for whoever's holding down the fort. Outside your door, the wild stays wild. Hawks circle overhead. You're not visiting nature here, you're living inside its perimeter, watching it operate on its own schedule. The grounds reward anyone who wants to work the land: specimen plumerias, cactus, agave, and native California plantings hold their ground alongside olive, citrus, pomegranate, almond trees and your own small vineyard. A seasonal stream runs quietly below the property. Practical, too, for anyone who plans to stay self-sufficient: A/C, solar power, a newer roof, and a 25' x 26' garage with room for every vehicle, rig, or piece of gear you bring with you. Distant neighbors, endless land, and the quiet confidence of knowing the rest of it is yours. *4.12 Acres *Surrounded by environmentally protected land. *Only 2 other homes in the area.
