Experience the pinnacle of hillside living in this rare Valley Center sanctuary, where breathtaking views over Rancho Lilac meet a lifestyle of total privacy and modern utility. Situated on two legal lots totaling over 4.4 acres, this estate offers a unique blend of sophisticated renovation and rustic independence. The main residence, thoughtfully updated with soapstone kitchen counters and expansive windows, centers around a magnificent brick fireplace perfect for cool evenings. Unlike almost any other property in the area, the main home enjoys the incredible convenience of a natural gas connection and an owned solar electric system, providing modern efficiency in a rural setting. The grounds are a masterpiece of versatile outdoor living, designed for those who value space and seclusion. Whether you are hosting guests in the spacious BBQ area by the fountain or enjoying a quiet sunset from one of the many private sitting areas, the layout ensures you rarely see or hear a neighbor. The property is a turnkey opportunity for the hobby farmer or entrepreneur, featuring established Proteas and filler flowers for potential income, seasonal fruit trees, and garden areas already prepared for vegetables and livestock. Further enhancing the estate's value is a modern 2021 ADU with its own private entrance off Couser Canyon. This additional dwelling offers a myriad of possibilities, from a high-end home office and guest house to a potential rental, all while maintaining the main home's complete privacy. With two dedicated storage sheds, ample room for kids to play, and a landscape that captures the best of the coastal breeze and starry night skies, this property is more than a home, it is a private compound that offers the rare luxury of space, silence, and self-sufficiency. Come for the views, stay for the peace.
