Set against gentle rolling hills, this single-story Fallbrook retreat pairs rare privacy and open space with easy access to everything the village has to offer. An oversized lot frames the scene: a shimmering pool, above-ground spa, and a detached studio all tucked into lush, drought-wise landscaping.A winding path lined with native succulents leads to a sun-soaked front patio. Inside, a bright living room wrapped in oversized windows flows naturally into the formal dining area, where sliding doors open to a shaded side patio perfect for morning coffee or alfresco dinners. The adjacent galley-style kitchen is equipped with stainless steel appliances, a gas cooktop, and a breakfast bar that keeps conversation flowing. Just down the hall, the primary suite is complete with mirrored closets and an updated bath boasting a sculptural vessel sink and walk-in shower. Two additional bedrooms and a thoughtfully refreshed full bath round out the main residence.Above the two-car garage, a light-filled studio with its own half bath invites endless possibilities: a private guest hideaway, multigenerational living space, or income-producing ADU. Outside, the fenced backyard makes it easy to enjoy every day swim in the pool, unwind in the spa, plant a garden, or just sit back and enjoy the mountain views. A detached shed gives you extra storage, and there s plenty of space for RV parking too. Recent updates add extra comfort and savings, including GFCI outlets, a new pool pump and filter, better pool and deck lighting, replaced heating ducts, a dedicated A/C unit in the studio, new central air and heating, plus solar with battery backup to help keep utility costs down.Set just minutes from downtown Fallbrook s boutiques, cafés, and everyday essentials and only a quick turn onto Highway 76 and I-15, this home keeps Temecula, Escondido, and the beaches of Oceanside and Carlsbad within easy reach. Nearby parks, schools, and a quiet, lightly traveled neighborhood make it a turnkey retreat that balances comfort, convenience, and the calm of country living. Plus, Fallbrook s annual Avocado Festival, Hot Summer Nights, and local art and cultural events throughout the year add to the charm of this vibrant community.
