Property is move-in ready.
Built in 1981, the property is well-maintained and move-in ready with recent cosmetic updates including luxury vinyl plank flooring, fresh paint, and updated baseboards. While the kitchen cabinetry and bathroom fixtures are dated, the addition of stone countertops and the overall clean condition of the systems and interior meet the criteria for a functional, updated living space.
Middle School: Pacific Trails Middle (10/10).
Located in High Country Villas, the property offers an exceptional active lifestyle with access to a 9-hole golf course, pickleball, two pools, and a clubhouse.
The residence features contemporary luxury vinyl plank flooring, fresh designer paint, and updated baseboards, providing a move-in-ready aesthetic for new owners.
As a 55+ community, the property is limited to a specific buyer pool, which may impact long-term resale flexibility compared to non-restricted neighborhoods.
At 936 square feet, the interior footprint is relatively small, which may be a challenge for buyers transitioning from larger family homes or requiring extra storage.
Canyon views, single-level living, and a golf course community, now at a new price. Welcome to 245 Fairlee Lane in High Country Villas, Encinitas' sought-after 55+ community. This 2-bedroom, 2-bath home offers approx. 936 sq. ft. on one level, with fresh designer paint, updated baseboards, and luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout. The living room opens through a sliding glass door to a large private patio overlooking open canyon and rolling hillsides, a rare, peaceful view you'll enjoy every morning and evening with cool coastal breezes. The kitchen features granite counters, a window overlooking beautiful landscaping that fills the space with natural light, and opens to the dining area. The primary suite includes a mirrored closet and its own bath with a walk-in glass shower, while the second bedroom works well for guests, a home office, or hobbies, with a full hall bath close by. Stacked in-home laundry and a detached one-car garage add everyday convenience. Life at High Country Villas goes well beyond your front door: a private 9-hole golf course, pickleball, bocce ball, a pool and spa, a clubhouse with recreation and meeting rooms, and a calendar full of social activities.
