About this home

The possibilities abound at Crown Hill Ranch. Privacy, peace, and serenity envelop you with various wildlife and natural elements. On a clear day, you can see the Coronado Islands, San Clemente and all the way to Catalina Island. There is a building plan and pad already earmarked for a 4,800 sqft home. Currently there is a 1 br barn-kit home, a 1br tree house, and a 1 br office/guest house on the 77-acre parcel with well water, solar with battery backup, septic, and propane. A second home may be built on the 80-acre parcel along with additional ag buildings. *Two APNs: 240-070-11-00 (77 acres) and 240-150-07-00 (80 acres) The ranch has a quaint one-bedroom modern farmhouse. Lounge on the oversize wraparound porch, overlooking the historic 21,000 acre Rancho Guejito, the last privately owned Mexican land grant. The farmhouse has a wood-burning stove for those cool nights, and is equipped with a modern kitchen and bathroom. The upstairs loft bedroom has a clawfoot bathtub and views of rolling hills. Look out onto mature trees, including blue gum eucalyptus, lemon eucalyptus, coastal Live Oaks and the rare Engleman Oak. There are no endangered species or plants on the property. You might spot hummingbirds gathered around black button sage, or in the pollination garden. “Bee Hill” is a perch that has been used by beekeepers to develop a thriving honey yield. The ranch provides a safe home for mountain lions, golden eagles, mule deer, coyote, bobcat, quail, road runners, hawks, owls, and wild turkeys. The rich presence of wildlife gives you a true sense of being in the wild West.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Expansive Development Potential: Spanning 157 acres across two APNs, the property includes an earmarked pad and plans for a 4,800 sqft home, with potential for a second residence and additional agricultural buildings, offering significant future value.
Unparalleled Panoramic Views: Boasts breathtaking panoramic views of Catalina Island, Coronado Islands, San Clemente, coastline, mountains, and natural landscapes, enhancing its aesthetic and intrinsic value.
Sustainable Off-Grid Infrastructure: Equipped with well water, solar power with battery backup, septic system, and propane, providing robust self-sufficiency and reduced reliance on public utilities.
Exceptional Privacy & Natural Sanctuary: Offers profound privacy and serenity amidst a rich natural environment, featuring diverse wildlife, mature native trees, and bordering the historic Rancho Guejito.
Unique & Versatile Accommodations: Includes a modern 1-bedroom farmhouse, a barn-kit home, a tree house, and an office/guest house, providing charming, distinct, and flexible living/guest spaces.

Cons

Limited Primary Residence Size: The existing primary living structures are relatively small (e.g., 1-bedroom farmhouse), requiring significant additional investment and construction for buyers seeking a larger main home.
Substantial Upfront Investment Required: The $3.25 million list price is for the land and existing smaller structures, necessitating a considerable additional financial commitment for the planned 4,800 sqft main residence and other potential developments.
Remote Location & Accessibility: While offering privacy, the property's expansive, natural setting suggests a remote location that may entail longer travel times to urban amenities and potentially require specific considerations for access.
