Condition Rating
Good

Built in 2007, this property is 17 years old and falls within the 'Good' category's age range. The home appears well-maintained and move-in ready, with no immediate repairs needed. The kitchen features functional white appliances, honey oak cabinets, and speckled countertops, which are clean but reflect the style of its build year rather than modern trends. Bathrooms also show similar well-maintained but dated finishes. Flooring (carpet and tile) and light fixtures are clean and functional. Major systems like the AC unit appear to be in good working order. While the aesthetic is not contemporary, the property is in solid, functional condition with minimal wear and tear.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Expansive Acreage: The property includes a total of 7.5 acres across two parcels (5 acres + an additional 2.5-acre parcel), providing significant space, privacy, and potential for various uses or future development.
Panoramic Mountain Views: Offers breathtaking, unobstructed panoramic views of Granite, Laguna, and Volcan Mountains, creating a serene and picturesque setting that enhances the property's appeal.
Outdoor Enthusiast's Paradise: Located in Shelter Valley, with close proximity to Lake Cuyamaca, Ocotillo Wells State Park, Anza Borrego State Park, and natural preserves, making it ideal for outdoor activities and an 'ideal winter getaway'.
International Dark Sky Community: Benefits from being near Julian Townsite, an International Dark Sky Community, offering exceptional stargazing experiences and a unique community charm.
Relatively Modern Construction: Built in 2007, the home is relatively modern compared to many rural properties, potentially reducing immediate maintenance concerns associated with older homes.

Cons

Modest Home Size: The 1173 sq ft, 2-bedroom, 2-bath home is relatively small, which might not meet the needs of buyers seeking a larger primary residence or more extensive living space, especially given the expansive land.
Remote Location: Situated in a high desert area, the property's remote location, while offering tranquility, may entail longer travel times to essential services, larger towns, and employment centers, as indicated by school distances.
Limited Interior Feature Details: The description focuses heavily on exterior and location benefits but lacks specific details on recent interior renovations or luxury features, potentially indicating a need for updates to meet contemporary buyer expectations.
