About This Property

Forty acres of evergreen forest inside the gated Cuyamaca Forest community, with northeast-facing views and terrain that changes as you climb. The land starts as gently sloped, tree-covered ground that suits a home site, then steepens as it rises to an elevation of 5,437 feet. That gives you a buildable lower area, a dramatic upper ridge, and the kind of privacy and scale that are rare in San Diego's backcountry. Getting here is easy. It's a simple drive on paved roads within the gated community, and utility power is nearby, so bringing your vision to life is that much more within reach. Out here, the only soundtrack is wind moving through the pines, birdsong at sunrise, and the crunch of your own footsteps on a forest trail. Wake up to soft morning light filtering through the cedars, spend the afternoon wandering your own private woodland, and end the day beneath a sky so full of stars it stops you mid-sentence. This is land that slows your pulse and clears your head, a place to unplug from the noise and reconnect with the quiet rhythms of the mountains, the seasons, and each other. Zoning, The parcel is zoned S92, the county's General Rural designation, which allows residential and agricultural use on rugged, forested land. The animal designator is "L," which lets you keep horses and other animals on the property within the county's limits.

Real estate in Julian ranges from historic cabins to modern mountain retreats, making it an ideal location for those looking for a peaceful, nature-filled lifestyle with easy access to San Diego and Orange County.
