Property Description

Experience the rare opportunity to own a private hillside retreat in one of Poway’s most sought-after neighborhoods ,offering space, flexibility, and freedom without the constraints of an HOA. This single-story residence, built in 1991 and spanning approximately 3,500 sq. ft., is thoughtfully positioned on an elevated lot to capture sweeping mountain views, exceptional privacy, and a true sense of openness rarely found in today’s developments. Unlike newer communities where homes are closely clustered, this property offers breathing room, tranquility, and a setting that feels both expansive and serene. Located within a low-risk fire zone, a low-crime area, and the highly acclaimed Poway Unified School District, the home delivers not only lifestyle appeal but long-term value and peace of mind. Enjoy the best of both worlds, tucked away in a quiet, scenic setting, yet conveniently just 25 minutes from downtown San Diego and the coast. What truly sets this property apart is its extraordinary potential. The existing home offers the ability to expand up to approximately 5,500–7,500 sq. ft., all while maintaining outdoor space and usable land, an increasingly rare opportunity in Southern California. With no HOA restrictions, the possibilities are endless: design your dream estate with a pool, guest house, ADU, outdoor kitchen, or expanded living spaces tailored to your vision. A unique offering where location, land, and limitless potential come together—creating an exceptional canvas for luxury living.
