Property is land value only, full reconstruction required.

The property offers breathtaking 180-degree views of Palomar Mountain, rolling hills, and city lights, providing a premium hillside setting that is rare for the area.
Situated on a massive 1.3-acre lot with multiple usable terraced pads, there is significant room for expansion, including the addition of an ADU, tennis court, or a custom outdoor oasis.
