Property Description
Experience the serenity of country living in the prestigious, nature-rich community of La Cresta on the Santa Rosa Plateau. Tucked behind a private gate and perched atop a winding, tree-lined driveway, this elegant single-level custom home offers sweeping mountain and valley views and over 4.5 acres of privacy, beauty, and potential. With nearly 3,200 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space, it features three spacious bedrooms--including a luxurious primary suite with spa-style bath and large walk-in closet--plus flexibility for a fourth bedroom. Enjoy formal living and dining rooms, an open-concept kitchen and great room, and a sprawling covered patio ideal for entertaining or soaking in the views. The elevated homesite offers ample space for expansion--with room for a pool, guest house, workshop, or equestrian amenities. A flourishing grove of 700 meticulously maintained pomegranate trees is nourished by a water-efficient drip irrigation system. With vibrant spring blooms and autumn fruit, the grove also provides a scenic, low-maintenance landscape. There's room to plant a vineyard, expand the orchard, or grow your own garden or farm-to-table experience. Inside, you'll find tall ceilings, three fireplaces, and a gourmet kitchen with elegant stone countertops, a large center island, built-in refrigerator/freezer with wine cooler, and a bright, open layout. The home is powered by a fully paid 24-panel solar array that offsets energy use and includes newer dual-zone HVAC for efficiency. The three-car garage offers easy access and ample parking for guests, equipment, or recreational vehicles. La Cresta isn't just a location--it's a lifestyle. Residents enjoy a vibrant, close-knit community with local events, informal gatherings, and access to thousands of preserved acres in the Santa Rosa Plateau Ecological Reserve and Cleveland National Forest. Served by the highly regarded Murrieta Valley Unified School District, the area offers activities for children including nature programs, riding lessons, and family-friendly events--perfect for retirees, families, equestrians, and outdoor enthusiasts. Just minutes from shops, restaurants, medical facilities, and freeway access in Murrieta, this property offers the perfect blend of peaceful seclusion and everyday convenience. Come home to La Cresta--where space, serenity, and natural beauty create the perfect backdrop for your next chapter.
