A FEW IMPORTANT THINGS TO CONSIDER
This is a historic adobe-and-brick home dating back more than 150 years. It has soul, charm, quirks, and imperfections consistent with old-world living. Although the residence itself remains private, the property hosts one curated three-day Brick n Barn antique show event per month in designated barn-area on the grounds. The ideal tenant will appreciate the creative and community-oriented spirit of the estate and be comfortable with shoppers/activity during those weekends.
The estate does not include:
Central air conditioning: (The home remains naturally cool due to its thick adobe/brick construction, with supplemental fans and climate-control a/c in the primary suite.)
Traditional heating systems (even in San Diego, the house can get chilly in winter!)
Television-focused living (no TVs, but great WIFI, Sonos, etc.)
This property is ideal for:
One or two adults
Creatives, writers, artists, designers, entrepreneurs, or remote-working professionals
Someone seeking inspiration, peace, beauty, and slower living
Lovers of history, nostalgia, entertaining, architecture, country life, and storytelling
To preserve the historic home, gardens, and furnishings, the estate is best suited for adults only and cannot accommodate pets.
OPTIONAL INCOME OPPORTUNITY
For tenants interested in additional income, there may be an optional opportunity to assist with management of the owners' separate on-site Airbnb rock cabin. Compensation would be 25% of cabin rental revenue generated during the lease term. Participation is entirely optional and details can be discussed with qualified applicants.
