Privately gated and set on 2.5 acres in the coveted enclave of Elfin Forest, this stunning estate offers a rare blend of elevated style, usable land, and seamless indoor-outdoor living complete with a large guest house. The single-level residence is thoughtfully curated with wide plank white oak flooring, skylights, and designer finishes throughout. The kitchen is a true focal point, featuring custom cabinetry, quartzite countertops, a statement AGA range, and handcrafted Zellige tile. The primary suite opens directly to the backyard and is complemented by a beautifully appointed bath with custom tile work and a well-designed walk-in closet. The vast outdoor space offers a covered lounge with dual TVs, Bromic heaters, and Sonos system that all flows into an expansive dining area built for entertaining. The outdoor kitchen is equipped with a Lynx BBQ, Wolf warming drawer, and refrigerator. A heated pool with Baja step, spa, and firepit create a true resort-style setting, with a sport court (basketball and pickleball) and turf field adding to the recreation options. A detached 2 bed/2 bath guest home of 1,200 est.sq.ft. includes a kitchen, office nook, laundry, mini-split A/C and wrap-around covered patio space. Additional highlights include a 3-car garage with potential for a lift for car enthusiasts, Tesla leased solar, mature orchard and a well. Set against the Escondido Creek Preserve that offers miles of scenic trails, the property delivers a unique sense of space and privacy just minutes from coastal living, a combination that rarely becomes available.
