Description

Tucked away in the serene forest above Lake Cuyamaca, this luxurious yet inviting residence offers a tranquil escape from urban life. Set on over 25 picturesque acres in Julian’s exclusive Cuyamaca Forest Ranch, this estate is accessed via a gated driveway leading to the main home, a charming guest cottage, a two-car garage, a hot tub, and a rare swimming pool with a pool house. This peaceful sanctuary is bathed in natural light, creating a soothing atmosphere that enhances the beauty of the onsite pond, often frequented by local wildlife. A network of well-maintained trails winds through the property, and from the viewpoint, breathtaking views of the lake, mountains, and valleys change with the seasons, complemented by starry night skies. Inside the main residence, the expansive great room, featuring clerestory windows and a vaulted open-beam ceiling, invites gatherings with its grand stone fireplace, dining area, and access to a spacious view deck. The open floor plan encompasses approximately 3,498 square feet, living like a single level, with an oversized bonus room below that includes a built-in media center and a covered patio—perfect for conversion into an additional bedroom. The main level also offers a versatile home office. The kitchen, with its custom wood Shaker cabinetry, wood and tile countertops, farmhouse sink, stainless steel appliances including a Viking cooktop, and a butler’s pantry, provides an enchanting space for meal preparations with views of the lake. The main residence features two ensuite bedrooms, three and a half baths, including a luxurious primary suite with a deck, walk-in closet, walk-in shower, and freestanding tub. The guest cottage boasts a private bedroom, bath, laundry room, and its own kitchen. With a contemporary cabin aesthetic highlighted by wood flooring, hand-troweled walls, and expansive windows, this home is designed to maximize stunning views. Hand-selected Douglas fir trees from Sonoma enhance its character, while fire-suppression systems and a high-output well servicing the buildings, pool, and ponds ensure both safety and sustainability.
