Welcome to 808 Palaro Drive, a private coastal compound tucked into a quiet pocket of old-school Leucadia. Set on a rare quarter-acre lot, this 4-bedroom home offers 2,553 square feet of warmth, character, and custom woodwork. The designer interiors support both quiet moments and lively gatherings, but the true magic lies outside. Designed to be fully lived in, the property features a sun-filled front yard with garden beds and a Bali-inspired backyard complete with fire pits, a secluded spa, and an outdoor surf shower. This authentic retreat balances laid-back tranquility with versatility, featuring paid solar and a permitted, attached ADU with its own entrance—ideal for guests or rental income. Located within the top-tier San Dieguito school district, you are minutes from the iconic surf culture, local cafés, and vibrant energy of downtown Encinitas, Moonlight Beach, and Swami’s. It is the ultimate coastal lifestyle: grounded, refined, and effortlessly relaxed!
