Looking for a property that can live, earn, and grow at the same time? Welcome to 10079 W Lilac Rd in Escondido, a rare working farm and income-producing property where lifestyle and entrepreneurship come together on 2.46 scenic acres with sweeping valley views stretching to the ocean on clear days. At the heart of the property sits a charming 3-bedroom, 2-bath main residence currently operating as a successful Airbnb, offering immediate income potential or the perfect owner’s retreat. Inside, the home captures the relaxed Southern California lifestyle with bright living spaces and panoramic views that turn everyday moments into something extraordinary. Downstairs, a separate 1-bedroom apartment creates additional flexibility for guest accommodations, rental income, staff housing, or a private office/studio, making the property ideal for owners who want to live and operate a business from home. What truly sets this property apart is the fully operational 29,000-square-foot hydroponic greenhouse. Professionally equipped and production-ready, this massive growing facility opens the door to commercial agriculture, specialty crops, nursery production, or innovative ag-tech ventures. For entrepreneurs, investors, and growers, it represents a rare chance to acquire an established infrastructure rather than building from scratch. The 2.46-acre lot offers room to expand operations, create additional outdoor growing areas, or design a private farm retreat surrounded by rolling hills and natural beauty. The elevated setting provides breathtaking sunset views and coastal breezes, blending rural tranquility with convenient access to the greater San Diego region. Located in the desirable North County Escondido agricultural corridor, the property provides easy access to I-15, local farm markets, and regional distribution routes, making it ideal for both lifestyle buyers and business-minded owners.
Properties that combine income-producing short-term rental potential, a separate apartment, acreage, and a fully equipped commercial greenhouse are exceptionally rare. Whether you’re building a farm brand, expanding an agricultural business, or creating a live-work retreat, this is a property designed for visionaries. Schedule your private tour today.
