Despite being built in 1984, this property underwent an extensive, near-total renovation in 2018 (6 years ago). The listing explicitly states that this included new electrical, plumbing, roofing, stucco, flooring, doors, kitchens, insulation, bathrooms, wiring, appliances, and water tanks. The images confirm modern kitchens with granite countertops, updated cabinetry, and stainless steel appliances, as well as contemporary bathrooms with new vanities, fixtures, and tiling. New hardwood-style laminate flooring is consistent throughout the living areas and bedrooms. The presence of paid-off solar panels on two of the homes further indicates a high level of recent investment and modernization. This comprehensive renovation brings the property's condition to a virtually new standard, meeting current quality standards with no deferred maintenance.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Expansive Acreage & Privacy: A vast 75-acre private retreat nestled in the serene San Diego backcountry, offering unparalleled privacy, natural beauty, and potential for various uses.
Multi-Generational/Income Potential: Features three distinct, fully independent homes, each with its own address, driveway, well, electrical meter, and septic system, ideal for multi-generational living, rental income, or a private compound.
Extensive & Recent Renovations: All three homes underwent a comprehensive remodel in 2018, including major systems (electrical, plumbing, roofing) and aesthetics (kitchens, bathrooms, flooring), ensuring modern comfort and reduced immediate maintenance.
Sustainable & Self-Sufficient Infrastructure: Equipped with paid-off solar panels on two main homes (40 each) and individual private wells for each residence, significantly lowering utility costs and enhancing self-sufficiency.
Assumable Loan Opportunity: The possibility of an assumable $1.2M loan (subject to lender approval) offers a significant financial advantage and potentially lower interest rates for a qualified buyer.

Cons

Unpermitted Structures: The permit status of the two large barns (approximately 3,000 sq. ft. each) is unknown, posing potential legal and financial risks for future use or development.
Significant Price History Discrepancy: The listing history shows an initial list price of $24,999,000, followed by a substantial reduction to the current $2,499,000, which raises concerns about the property's valuation strategy and market perception.
Inconsistent Property Data: Discrepancies exist between the total listed square footage (4710 sqft) and the sum of individual home square footages (6318 sqft), along with the 'Single Family Residence' sub-type for a property with three separate homes, which could lead to confusion or misrepresentation.
