Peacefully perched atop Vista Grande on a private parcel with panoramic views all around, this hidden haven offers much more than expected. 1215 Vista Grande Rd offers a rare blend of luxury living, resort-style outdoor space, and future development potential. This beautifully updated 1,952 square feet residence captures sweeping mountain, sunset, and valley views from the expansive and inviting 1,000 square foot deck. Designed for seamless indoor-outdoor living and entertaining, this home delivers! Tropical landscaping invites you into this Euro Mid-Mod exterior to enjoy the seamless indoor-outdoor living style with panoramic views at every turn. The remodeled kitchen and upgraded bathrooms add to the appeal. The property features owned solar, new energy-efficient windows and sliding doors, new appliances, artificial turf, and thoughtfully curated outdoor amenities, including a hot tub, sauna, and bocce ball court. Mature landscaping and a thriving orchard create a true Southern California retreat with established avocado, grapefruit, orange, lime, pomegranate, and olive trees throughout the grounds. Beyond the existing residence, the property presents a highly compelling opportunity! Extensive feasibility studies have already been explored through the County of San Diego and Otay Water District for an SB9 lot split and preliminary sewer annexation. With over an acre of options, this 47,916 square foot lot is capable of supporting a second premium homesite. What would you do with an acre of opportunity? Lot split? ADU? The opportunity for multi-generational living or expansion is easily found here in one of East County’s most scenic and sought-after settings. A rare combination of privacy, land, potential, and panoramic views — properties with this level of optionality seldom come to market.
