BOM pending cancellation of current escrow. Don't miss this rare opportunity to own a property in The Ranch --- Valley Center's premiere and most exclusive gated community of luxury homes! While this diamond in the rough needs some work to restore it to former glory, it is priced $500k below the competition, and far below any other comps for a quick sale! This home has many wonderful and unique architectural features like the dramatic marble entry with wide winding staircase, soaring ceilings, clerestory windows, and 3 mantled fireplaces. There are views from every window. It also features crown molding, plantation shutters, solid wood panel doors, wool berber carpeting plus travertine tile floors and fine custom cabinetry with built-ins — storage galore throughout. There are beautiful custom valence treatments, polished brass hardware, and built-in speakers for entire house music, plus a security-fire, med-alert system. Double doors lead to a fabulous master suit, which is completely separate and apart from the other bedrooms. It has a fireplace, several display niches, shelving and a private balcony. The ensuite master bathroom includes an oversized Roman soaking tub and walk-thru closet with custom built-ins. Sets of French doors lead to the back garden, & pool area. The Infinity pool (with views) needs to be renovated, but it's the icing on the cake for this custom home that is sited on 2.14 serene acres. A perfect project for an investor or a family looking for a luxury home at a deep discount; it will not last long at this price!
