19050 Via Cuesta, Ramona, CA 92065

Set behind the gates of Highland Hills Estates on the west end of Ramona within close proximity to Poway rests this custom-built estate situated on 12.29 acres with views that stop you cold the moment you walk through the door. This home offers approximately 4,959 square feet, with 2 bedrooms, an office, a den/loft, and 3.5 baths, every room was designed to live large.

Standout features include owned solar, dual AC and furnace systems, a private well, propane, and a walk-in basement round out a property that's as self-sufficient as it is stunning. The living room makes a statement from the start with soaring timber-framed vaulted ceilings, a floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace, and wood-paneled walls that bring the warmth of a mountain lodge to the Southern California countryside.

The chef's kitchen is built to match, with its vaulted beamed ceilings, the massive butcher block island, professional-grade range with commercial hood, and terracotta tile floors that ground the whole space. A den/loft just off the kitchen gives you the flex space to make it your own.

The primary suite is its own destination. Generous and airy under dramatic vaulted beams, it opens directly to the balcony through sliding glass doors framing mountain views that go on forever. Two walk-in closets, dual vanities, a walk-in shower, and a soaking tub complete the retreat. Outside, a sprawling split-level brick patio stretches across the back of the home, built for sunsets, dinners, entertaining or, if you prefer, doing absolutely nothing. Mature fruit dot the grounds (orange, lemon, grapefruit, avocado).
