This luxurious Spanish style ranch is within the coveted Rancho Jamul Estates.  The roof (replaced in 2020) is crowned with Spanish tile and has an extensive porte-cochere overhang shading beautiful French windows.  Its curb appeal is without peer, highlighted by giant Italian Cypress.  Two and two thirds’ acres, the ranch looks and feels much larger with easements and adjacent land that is forever protected as open space.  This property is surrounded by white rail fencing and includes an electronic fence to keep your pets safe within the fence-lines. The grounds have manicured lawns, trees and greenery interspersed with 8 professionally landscaped, eye-catching gardens.  Live Oak, Silk Oak, Cypress, Sycamore, Bottlebrush and Pepper Trees surround the property with King and Queen Palms defining the pool area.  Fountains, pergolas and gazebos also add a touch of class to this ranch.  Leisure activities include lounging by the pool, grilling or happy hour in the outdoor living, horseback riding or picking fruit trees; all in a very private/sequestered backyard. A productive well includes 5,000 gallon reservoir and easily meets home, landscaping and equestrian needs.  Solar panels atop an elevated structure provides electricity and serves as shelter for horses in lower corrals. You will spend most of your nights within the ‘out-door living’, complete with lighting, a built-in barbecue with seating areas, fountain and a beautiful rock fireplace. Professional lighting throughout the property is spectacular and provides opportunity for afterdark riding. Stepping inside the home, you are greeted with over 4,000 square feet, this custom home has every amenity desired by its owner. With an architecturally pleasing and interesting layout.  Floor to ceiling windows, multiple skylights, variable ceiling heights, a gas fireplace with blower, central vac – all on one, unified floor with an aesthetic layout. Gorgeous, polished Saltillo tile throughout keeps your feet (and dog’s paws) warm in the winter and cool in the summer.  There are 4 bedrooms, a living room, dining room, family room kitchen,  sun room, utility room, extra large room / office and attached 3-car garage. The four bathrooms (two remodeled in 2023) have all the essentials including a master bathroom with towel heaters, two separate showers, a steam room, bathtub and a huge window.  The kitchen is superb with all Viking appliances, an island, an in-wall refrigerator, wine cooler, Kinetico water softener, R/O system, and a beautiful custom dinette that seats 5 comfortably.  Bedrooms include extensive built-ins and fans above every bed.  As an added bonus, the property includes a studio detached apartment, providing additional flexibility and space for guests, extended family, caretakers, or creative pursuits. For riders and the horses you are equipped with a 4-stall, custom designed barn includes a large storage / feed room and two tack rooms. The barn is situated to provide for maximum breeze for the horses on hot days. Each stall has an individual pipe run opening to a larger corral. Adjacent to the barn is an RV garage, for your horse trailer, complete with a studio apartment and full bath. As you ride past the beautiful landscaping and under the 100+ year old oak tree, you will find a professionally installed dressage court with Nike footing.
