Constructed with 2x8 exterior walls, 2x6 interior walls, sound dampening systems, acrylic stucco exterior finishes, a centrally located elevator servicing all floors, and Thermador appliances.

The casita seamlessly blends luxury and functionality while offering its own private outdoor kitchen and BBQ area outfitted with premium Lynx appliances. Car collectors, RV enthusiasts, and hobbyists will appreciate the estate’s extraordinary garage and workshop capacity, including a massive 2000 sqft two-story RV garage designed to accommodate a Prevost motor coach, an additional detached finished two-car garage, an approximately 875 square foot workshop, multiple RV parking areas with full hookups, and potential parking for more than eleven vehicles. The grounds are equally impressive, featuring mature Torrey Pines, a greenhouse, numerous fruit-bearing trees including avocado, citrus, apple, peach, pear, and grapefruit, along with sprawling outdoor spaces ideal for entertaining, recreation, or creating a private wellness retreat. Offering two residences on two APNs, unparalleled privacy, breathtaking views, and limitless potential to create a landmark estate, this is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own one of San Diego County’s most extraordinary mountaintop properties.
