Description

Set on 63.2 acres along the northern slopes of Volcan Mountain, this private and secluded offering captures the essence of backcountry living with a rare blend of water, usability, and natural beauty. A spring fed pond serves as a centerpiece to the land, complemented by a permitted water well and substantial storage capacity via a large water tank. The property is lightly improved, allowing for immediate enjoyment while preserving flexibility for future vision. ~A rustic 640+/- sq ft studio cabin with a wood stove provides a comfortable basecamp setting. Bathroom infrastructure is in place but currently non-operational. The cabin is complemented by an approximately 320 sq ft covered porch, creating a functional and inviting retreat in its present form. ~Multiple roads traverse the acreage, opening access to several potential building sites and elevated viewpoints that take in the surrounding terrain and breathtaking scenery. Chaparral hillsides give way to pockets of lush native tree canopy, creating a diverse landscape that feels both expansive and intimate. ~Positioned in a minimally developed region off San Felipe Road, the setting offers a sense of quiet that is increasingly difficult to find, with four gentle seasons and a classic Mediterranean climate. Whether used as a private retreat, recreational base, or future estate, the property lends itself to a wide range of possibilities. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the excellent hunting and exploration opportunities, while nearby destinations such as Julian, Warner Springs, and Borrego Springs offer access to wineries, dining, hiking, and a wide array of backcountry experiences.
