Welcome to “Rancho de la Carreta Vieja,” a remarkable property nestled in the serene hills of Valley Center off of Couser Canyon that has never been on the market before. This stunning 3 bedroom + office / 2 bath custom Spanish home boasts an expansive 2,350 square feet of living space, situated on a flat and usable 4.12-acre lot with access roads throughout, and offers multiple areas for an ADU, barn, workshop, parking, etc. The moment you step inside this home, you are greeted by high vaulted ceilings that create an atmosphere of openness and grandeur. Natural light floods the interior through oversized windows and skylights throughout the residence, illuminating the beautiful Italian Saltillo tile flooring across all common areas. At the heart of the home lies a beautifully designed kitchen featuring custom wood cabinets, a large walk-in pantry, a natural gas cooktop, and a double oven. A large bay window in the kitchen provides captivating views while preparing your meals. The living room invites relaxation with its gas & wood-burning fireplace and custom entertainment center.

Step outside onto the patio equipped with a gas firepit hookup and stub for gas BBQ to host memorable outdoor gatherings against the backdrop of breathtaking mountain views. The Spanish tile roof features a walkable parapet, which adds another unique architectural element to this impressive property. This estate is not just a home but also a productive orchard. Fuyu persimmons, Satsuma tangerines, lemons, and pomegranates are picked and sold seasonally, coordinated by the on-site groundskeeper, who also maintains all the landscaping and irrigation throughout the ranch. The unit the groundskeeper resides in also offers rental income for the property. There are additional fruit trees like lime, several orange varieties, tangerine, avocado, guava, Fuyu persimmon, pomegranate, and grapefruit, among others. While this home boasts privacy and tranquility, it is still only 10 minutes to both highways 15 and 76, making for an easy commute to either San Diego or Riverside counties.
