About this home

Some homes you simply do not forget, and 4848 La Cruz Place is one of them. This ocean-view estate offers a rare combination of architecture, privacy, and setting. Tucked behind a private, gated drive on the west side of Mt. Helix, the single-story home sits elevated on 1.2 acres, capturing panoramic views that stretch across San Diego, Coronado Island, and the Pacific Ocean. Inside, soaring ceilings, rich hardwood floors, custom stonework, and expansive picture windows give this home a grand, effortless quality felt the moment you step inside. Throughout the home, the views are not just a backdrop, they’re part of the design. The gourmet kitchen anchors the living spaces with bird's-eye maple cabinetry and granite countertops, opening seamlessly into the great room and dining area. Three bedrooms have en-suites, and the oversized primary retreat features dual walk-in closets and two spa-inspired bathrooms. The fourth bedroom has been thoughtfully reconfigured as an office and billiard room. Outside, the grounds unfold like a private resort. A Pebble Tec pool and spa, rock waterfall features, a covered BBQ pavilion, and winding pathways through gardens and mature trees across fully fenced acres. This is the kind of outdoor space where guests arrive for dinner, and nobody wants to leave. Mt. Helix is one of San Diego's most coveted hillside communities, and the location reflects that. The pathways behind the property connect to Mt. Helix Park, a historic amphitheater and nature preserve at 1,365 feet, offering some of the most sweeping views in the region. La Mesa Village is minutes away, with its tree-lined boulevard of restaurants, boutique shops, and a Friday farmers market that locals plan their weekends around. Balboa Park, the beaches, and downtown San Diego are all within 20 minutes. Once people find this corner of the city, they tend to stay. Homes with this setting, this architecture, and these views do not come along often. 4848 La Cruz Place is ready for whoever is lucky enough to find it.
