Property Description

Panoramic Views, Breathtaking Sunsets, & Endless Potential on 4.5 Private Acres! Welcome to 23541 Old Wagon Rd—a peaceful Escondido retreat offering an artfully refined and comfortable living space nestled amidst breathtaking foothills and natural beauty. On a clear day, your sightlines from the expansive viewing deck stretch all the way to the Pacific Ocean, offering daily, front-row seats to spectacular Southern California sunsets. Interior Highlights—Main Level: Artfully redesigned kitchen featuring charcoal shaker cabinetry with custom leather pulls, granite countertops, open wood shelving, exposed ceiling beams, and a reclaimed wood feature wall. Light-filled main living area featuring vaulted ceilings with exposed structural beams, rich wood flooring, a cozy freestanding wood-burning stove, and French doors opening directly to the viewing deck. Versatile entry foyer anchored by a central chandelier and kitchen pass-through cutout—currently staged as a welcoming sitting parlor, but easily adaptable as a formal dining space or music room. The main level also features 2 generous bedrooms and 1 full bath with soaking tub, dual granite counter-top sinks, and storage, as well as a dedicated indoor laundry room. Upper Level: Private primary suite featuring a massive walk-in closet/storage area and convenient half bath. Exterior & Property Features: Designed for seamless indoor-outdoor living, the expansive multi-level deck offers covered dining, a relaxing porch swing, and an open sun deck with modern cable railings framing uninhibited, panoramic ocean-facing views. Below, a dedicated lower terrace provides the ultimate setup for outdoor grilling and evening entertaining under the stars. 4.5 private, versatile acres—ideal for homesteading, small livestock, or custom expansion. Guest House: Detached guest house with ¾ bath (shower), bedroom, and a second room already set up with water/drain hookups and an apartment-size fridge (easy kitchen conversion). Fully electrified. Plus, three additional outbuildings for workshops, storage, or hobbies. Livestock & agricultural ready: Corrals, chicken coop, and dedicated water storage tanks. Whether you are looking for country serenity or an animal friendly agricultural property, this unique Escondido estate offers limitless possibilities.
