First time on the market in nearly 70 years, this rare 22-acre Valley Center ranch offers an opportunity that is becoming increasingly difficult to find in San Diego County.
Tucked into a quiet valley and surrounded by rolling hills and mountain views, the property features a diverse landscape of open meadow, mature oak trees, hillside terrain, and a seasonal creek that flows through the land during winter rains—creating a peaceful, private setting with a true ranch feel.
A long dirt drive leads into the heart of the property, where a 1954 ranch-style cottage sits beneath towering trees. The home offers approximately 848 square feet with 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom, featuring vaulted wood ceilings and an open living space. While the home is ready for renovation, it provides a strong foundation for restoration or the opportunity to build something new.
The property is already equipped with well, septic, electricity, and propane, allowing for immediate use and future development. A vintage outdoor brick fireplace and gathering area, along with an older barn structure, reflect decades of history and rural living.
Zoned A72 (Agricultural), the property offers flexibility for a variety of uses including rural living, agriculture, equestrian use, or the creation of a private estate.
Large, private parcels with this level of character, natural beauty, and long-term family ownership rarely come to market in Valley Center.
