Built in 1956, this property has undergone renovations, particularly in the kitchen and bathrooms, which appear to be from 15-25 years ago. The kitchen features traditional style cabinets, dark countertops, and a tiled backsplash, along with a stainless steel dishwasher, all functional but stylistically dated. Bathrooms have neutral tiling and glass shower screens, indicating updates but not a modern aesthetic. Flooring includes large format tiles and dark wood laminate/engineered wood. While well-maintained and move-in ready, the interior finishes show signs of being outdated and would benefit from minor cosmetic updates to meet current design standards.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Exceptional Acreage & Privacy: Sprawling 14.19 private acres backing directly to Cleveland National Forest, offering unparalleled seclusion and potential for diverse use.
Sweeping Panoramic Views: Commands breathtaking panoramic views of rolling hills, canyons, Lake Elsinore valley, city lights, and mountains from various vantage points.
Versatile & Spacious Estate: A custom-built 3,154 sq ft residence with 3 beds and 4 baths, including multiple private suites, ideal for a peaceful retreat, family compound, or investment.
Timeless Charm & Abundant Natural Light: The 1956 custom build exudes timeless character, enhanced by expansive windows that invite abundant natural light and frame the stunning outdoor scenery.
Strategic Location & Local Amenities: Offers a unique balance of rural seclusion with convenient access to Lake Elsinore's downtown charm, extreme sports, and a short drive to the coast and historic San Juan Capistrano.

Cons

Property Age & Potential for Updates: Built in 1956, the property's age suggests potential for outdated systems (HVAC, electrical, plumbing) or finishes that may require significant investment for modernization, which is not detailed as completed.
Ortega Highway Location & Commute: While scenic, its location directly on Ortega Highway might present noise concerns for some, and the rural setting could imply longer commutes to major urban centers or extensive services.
Recent Price Reductions: Multiple price reductions from the original list price of $975,000 to $899,995 could signal a longer market time or an initial overestimation of value, potentially impacting buyer perception.
