Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1966, this property features a rustic aesthetic with exposed brick/adobe walls, wood plank ceilings, and terracotta-style tile flooring throughout. While the main kitchen has updated stainless steel appliances, the cabinets and countertops are dated. The overall style of the homes, including light fixtures and general finishes, suggests that any significant renovations occurred 20-30+ years ago, or the original style has been well-maintained. The property appears clean and functional, but requires substantial cosmetic updates to meet current market trends and modern standards, particularly in the kitchen and likely the bathrooms (which were not clearly pictured). It is maintained but clearly shows its age and outdated features, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Expansive Acreage & Agricultural Income: The 33-acre ranch includes 5 acres of Valencia oranges and 3 acres of Haas avocados with gravity-fed irrigation, offering significant agricultural potential and income streams.
Comprehensive Equestrian Facilities: Equipped with a 12-stall barn, indoor horse riding carousel, 2-horse stall, and a large riding area, making it ideal for serious equestrians or commercial operations.
Multiple Residential Units: Features two adobe homes (2/1 and 1/1 guest house), an additional 1/1 house, and a 3/1 manufactured home, providing versatile options for multi-generational living, staff, or rental income.
Sustainable Water & Energy Infrastructure: Benefits from a private well powered by solar panels and a large reservoir, ensuring water security and reduced utility costs for the extensive property.
Panoramic Rural Views: Situated in the hills of Escondido, the property offers beautiful views overlooking a lake and mountains, providing a desirable serene and private country lifestyle.
Cons
Age and Condition of Structures: Built in 1966, the multiple residences (including adobe homes and a manufactured home) likely require significant updates, repairs, or modernization to meet contemporary standards and buyer expectations.
High Maintenance Demands: The extensive 33-acre ranch, with its agricultural operations, multiple residences, and comprehensive equestrian facilities, necessitates substantial ongoing maintenance, time, and financial investment.
Disparate Housing Aesthetics: The mix of adobe homes, a standard house, and a manufactured home might present a challenge in creating a cohesive aesthetic or appealing to buyers seeking a uniform, high-end estate.
