The story
- Pool
Tucked within the private, guard-gated community of Rimrock Estates, this home offers a rare opportunity to experience one of North County’s best-kept secrets. Set among gorgeous custom estates, the property features sweeping panoramic vistas extending to the ocean and Catalina Island, exceptional privacy, and a peaceful hillside setting where space and a connection to nature come together. What truly sets this property apart is its layout: five bedrooms, each with its own private bath, plus an additional half bath, all spread across 5,287 square feet on a 1.14-acre lot with an oversized four-car garage and owned solar. The home is also designed for indoor-outdoor living, with a pool, spa, outdoor kitchen, and multiple living areas that open to the backyard and views. Designed for comfort, flexibility, and everyday livability, this is one of the community’s most practical and well-planned floor plans. The downstairs level offers an impressive blend of space, abundant natural light, and functionality. A dramatic entry with high ceilings and a sweeping staircase opens to generous living areas, including a huge family room with a fireplace, a separate living room currently used as a game room, a formal dining room, and a spacious kitchen with rich cabinetry, Thermador Appliances, a large center island, and a breakfast nook. The main rooms capture beautiful views and feature multiple French doors opening to the patio, backyard, pool, and outdoor kitchen. A downstairs bedroom with a full bath provides flexibility for guests, multigenerational living, or a private office, while an additional half bath adds everyday convenience. The upper level continues the home’s spacious and functional design with a large loft, built-in desk space, and a generous laundry room with ample cabinetry, counter space, and a sink. Three secondary bedrooms each feature their own private bath. The primary suite is an impressive private retreat with a sitting area and fireplace, large windows framing the panoramic views, and a private balcony. The primary bath is especially unique, with separate his-and-hers sides divided by a large walk-through shower with dual entrances. Her side features a soaking tub with views, a sink and vanity, a dedicated getting-ready area, and a large walk-in closet. His side includes its own sink and vanity, as well as a separate walk-in closet. Each side also has its own private water closet, creating a thoughtful layout that feels both luxurious and highly functional. The resort-style outdoor areas feature a sparkling saltwater pool and spa set against sweeping panoramic views. A separate circular fire pit terrace features built-in stone seating beneath a dramatic pergola, while two covered patios offer space for outdoor dining and relaxation. The expansive outdoor kitchen includes a gas barbecue, charcoal barbecue, griddle, burners, sink, refrigerator, generous counter space, and wraparound bar seating. Rimrock Estates offers many of the qualities luxury buyers seek—privacy, views, custom architecture, gated access, and larger homesites—along with a North Escondido location approximately 27 minutes from North County beaches and about 45 minutes from the airport. This is not a home you want to miss!
