Property Description

Discover one of Valley Center's premier estates, an exquisite 4,250 SF main residence thoughtfully set on 21.49 private, gated acres. This architectural masterpiece, originally designed by Garret Van Pelt, Jr. and constructed by Ted Pfaff in 1990, offers a unique blend of luxury and comfort, ideal for grand entertaining or private enjoyment. Set amid towering pines, magnificent oaks, and fruit orchards, this home promises a sanctuary-like experience with phenomenal views, mature landscaping, and extreme privacy. As you approach, a meandering driveway leads to a circular entry, welcoming you to the main residence, which features 5 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, and a dedicated office. The living room’s vaulted, beamed wood ceilings and expansive windows allow sunlight to pour in, illuminating the rich interior finishes. Entertain in style with a grand fireplace, walls of windows, and French doors that open to a lush garden and tranquil pool area. The gourmet kitchen, designed by a professional chef, boasts a 6-burner Viking cooktop with built-in Gaggenau deep fryer, double ovens, warming drawers, dual dishwashers, and a generous butcher block island with a prep sink. For more intimate gatherings, a cozy breakfast nook and adjacent seating area provide charm and warmth. The butler's pantry and prep kitchen, complete with an under-counter fridge, ice maker, cocktail station, and abundant glassware storage, make formal entertaining effortless. A detached 2-bedroom 1-bathroom 850 SF guest house with separate gated driveway, central AC and outdoor deck ensures that visitors can enjoy their stay in privacy. Additional amenities include a laundry room, great room, and deck with views, making this guest cottage a serene retreat. Beyond the main home and guest house, the estate’s grounds are designed for both productivity and pleasure. The entire 21 acres feature gently rolling, fully usable land with private, distinct areas and meandering walking trails throughout. Among the orchards of fruit trees are 800 Haas avocado trees, 90 Star Red grapefruit trees, 30 Navel oranges, 3 Valencia oranges, as well as pomegranate, lemon, apple, Pineapple Guava, Pineapple Quince and persimmon trees. Outdoor enthusiasts will enjoy the azure pool, basketball court, shaded picnic area, walking trails and oak-shaded meadow that stretches near a seasonal creek. This refined ranch estate combines organic farming with luxurious, pastoral privacy. It offers the best of countryside living while being designed to accommodate and delight. Truly a rare find, this storybook estate is waiting for its next chapter.
