There's a quiet you feel the moment you turn up the long driveway of this 1950 hacienda — real privacy on a large lot, no curbs, gutters, or streetlights, set high above the street with sunset views that stop you in your tracks every evening. A white three-rail fence frames the front half of the property, given over entirely to orchard: grapefruit, lemon, lime, orange, and macadamia nut trees across a massive, cleared and open yard. It feels like the country in the middle of the city, yet you're under 1 mile to the 78 and about 7 miles to the coast, and downtown Vista, City Hall, the library, and Brengle Terrace Park are just minutes away-step out for dinner, a cocktail, or a night of pickleball. This 3 bedroom, 2 bath, 1,650 sq ft home has been lovingly cared for and thoughtfully updated: original sealed oak floors, custom dual-pane Anderson windows, a 200-amp panel, tankless water heater, brand new A/C, and solar (PPA). The kitchen features cherrywood cabinets, quartz counters, and a 36" ZLINE gas range. Two rows of travertine steps run the lengthe of the home and offer front-row seat to those dazzling sunsets. A large, fully fenced front courtyard delivers a feeling of seclusion, privacy and dreamy westerly views. If the front is the orchard, the back is the oasis — a true staycation. A stamped concrete patio anchors a pergola with custom fireplace and several seating areas, a 12-ft swim spa with a shade umbrella mounted on its own concrete post, and a charming artist's studio with electricity, dual pane windows, ceiling fan and a beautiful awning above the double-door entrance. There are several storage sheds, a detached 2-car garage with dutch door, custom doors, and quarter bath, plus a spacious driveway with generous parking. Room to dream bigger too — an ADU, RV, possible lot split, or vanishing-edge pool. Rare privacy, real space, and a location close to everything without feeling like it — a genuine retreat.
