LOCATION, VIEWS & OPPORTUNITY! FIRST TIME ON THE MARKET! Perched high above the surrounding countryside on an elevated .54-acre homesite within a private enclave of just 10 custom-built homes off Hummingbird Hill, this distinctive single-story residence offers spectacular panoramic views and a true “top of the world” feeling. Surrounded by natural open space and near the 123-acre Manchester Preserve and scenic hiking trails, it feels like a mountain retreat at the coast-yet is just minutes from Encinitas beaches, shopping, restaurants and recreation. The home is rich in character with wood and natural textures, soaring ceilings, a freestanding mid-century fireplace and a dramatic wall of windows framing the views. An expansive deck extends the living space outdoors. The kitchen features a window over the sink, breakfast nook and slider to a courtyard. Sweeping vistas extend across Rancho Santa Fe to the distant mountains, creating an ever-changing backdrop of natural beauty. Built in 1977 and ready for its next chapter, this is an architect's or designer's dream opportunity to renovate and reimagine a truly special property. Create an entry courtyard, terrace the natural landscape for outdoor sitting and garden areas, and take full advantage of the extraordinary setting, privacy and views. Single-level living, .54 acre, architectural character and breathtaking views-a rare Olivenhain opportunity!
