Perched high in the hills of Hidden Meadows, this unique and character-filled home offers what few can: absolutely breathtaking, unobstructed views that stretch for miles across rolling hills, distant valleys, and snowcapped peaks in the winter. From the moment you arrive, it's clear this is a place where nature and privacy take center stage. Whether you're enjoying your morning coffee on the expansive upper deck or watching the moonrise through the picture windows, the view will stop you in your tracks--every single day. Set on a beautifully landscaped 1.1-acre corner lot, the grounds are a peaceful retreat of their own. Mature trees provide shade and character, while winding pathways lead you through gardens filled with succulents, native plants, and an impressive variety of fruit trees--including orange, lemon, lime, apricot, grapefruit, kaffir lime, sapote, and pineapple guava. The natural terrain, dotted with large rock outcroppings and framed by wooden steps, creates a storybook setting that feels both cultivated and wild. It's the perfect blend of Southern California living and rustic homestead charm. The 2,115 sq ft two-level home offers flexibility for a variety of lifestyles. Upstairs you'll find light-filled living spaces, two bedrooms, and a large deck with glass railings to take full advantage of the panoramic views. Downstairs features two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and a kitchenette--ideal for multigenerational living, guest quarters, or rental income. With two separate driveways--one to each level--the layout lends itself naturally to privacy or dual living. While some aspects of the home reflect its 1978 roots, the property has been well maintained and is ready for your personal touch. Located on a quiet, private street just minutes from dining, shopping, golf, and the revitalized energy of downtown Escondido, this home offers the rare ability to feel completely removed from the world--while still being close to everything. With no HOA, tons of usable land, and a layout full of potential, this is the kind of home you don't see every day. Come experience it for yourself--and fall in love with the view.
