A Sacred Sanctuary of Mesa Grande Tucked away in the timeless hills of Mesa Grande lies Engelmann Oak Ranch, an 80 acre sanctuary that feels as if it were crafted by nature itself for peace, renewal, and inspiration. Steeped in rich history, this land whispers stories of its earliest stewards. Today, that same energy still hums beneath the ancient Engelmann oaks, some of the most rare and revered oaks in North America, their silver green canopies swaying with the mountain breeze. ~The ranchs heart is a well maintained three bedroom, two bath ranch house, thoughtfully designed to balance comfort, practicality, and connection to the land. Its welcoming interior features an open concept kitchen and living area, where a cozy fireplace serves as a warm centerpiece, with the added convenience of central heating and air. The home has been recently refreshed with new appliances, flooring, and paint, creating a bright, move in ready space. Large, panoramic windows frame sweeping views, allowing natural light to fill the rooms, and a newly built expansive covered porch invites year round indoor/outdoor livingthe perfect spot to unwind while overlooking the pasture and tranquil pond. ~Here, time slows. The landscape stretches into a living canvas of rolling meadows, wildflowers, and granite outcroppingsoffering several awe inspiring vantage points over Pamo Valley, Palomar Mountain, and the legendary Rancho Guejito.
