A Rare Opportunity to Create Your Dream Estate Above Escondido! Perched high above Escondido, with views of Palomar Mtn, this extraordinary hillside fixer upper property offers a rare opportunity to reimagine a once magnificent estate and create something truly spectacular. Boasting breathtaking 180-degree panoramic views of the surrounding mountains, rolling hills, and twinkling city lights, this remarkable setting is all about location, privacy, and endless possibilities. The existing residence occupies the highest point of the property, offering commanding views and spectacular easterly sunrises over the mountains. Mature avocado trees are scattered throughout the grounds, adding charm and character to this unique landscape. The expansive, terraced property features multiple usable pads, each presenting exciting opportunities for future development. One level showcases an oversized swimming pool and pool shed awaiting a complete transformation, while another spacious, open pad offers the potential for an ADU, tennis court, resort-inspired pool, outdoor entertaining oasis, or whatever your imagination can envision. Once an impressive private estate, the property is now ready for an entirely new chapter. Imagine enjoying your morning coffee as the sun rises over the eastern mountains and ending your evenings surrounded by sweeping views and sparkling city lights. Properties with this kind of setting, character, and potential are truly special. Bring your vision and create something extraordinary!
