23315 Old Wagon Road Some properties are simply places to live. This one is a way of living. Perched in the rolling hills above Escondido, this extraordinary 10-acre estate is for those who have been searching for something rarer than square footage — genuine solitude, connection to the land, and the freedom to exhale. Behind a private entrance gate, the land opens up dramatically to stunning panoramic valley, sunset and ocean views. The main residence is a 4-bedroom single level ranch home. Vaulted ceilings and an open great room with a fireplace flow to the wrap around patio and outdoor pavilion with metal roof, lights, electric, jacuzzi spa and flagstone quartz patio underneath. The chef's kitchen with blue Viking propane oven/stove, custom cabinetry and Azul Bahia granite countertops offers an oversized island with breakfast bar, a butler pantry with lots of storage, laundry and sink, a spacious corner pantry and a generous eat-in dining area with room for large gatherings. A custom built-in office means the practical rhythms of life are handled gracefully, leaving more room for everything else. The primary bedroom, three secondary bedrooms and 2.5 bathroom are thoughtfully updated for contemporary living each offering views of the surrounding lands. New flooring and fresh paint throughout, air conditioning, and a tankless water heater ensure the comfort is effortless. For visiting collaborators, family, or long-term guests, the fully self-contained 2-bedroom 1 bath guest house with its own private drive, kitchen, laundry, and generous deck, where dramatic boulders frame the view, offers complete privacy for everyone on the property. The infrastructure here is worthy of the vision. The fenced property features a private entry gate, a fenced equestrian/livestock area with stable, a circle drive, 24 owned solar panels, two water storage tanks fed by on-site wells, irrigation stations, fruit trees, garden areas, scenic paths and a 250-gallon propane tank mean this retreat operates with quiet self-sufficiency — the kind of resilience that lets you sink into the land rather than worry about it. This is a second home that will become your first priority. A creative refuge. A working homestead. A place to slow down without giving anything up. Please note: reaching this secluded estate requires a short adventure along a rural, unpaved country road — a fitting introduction to a property that has always existed on its own terms.
