Meadow Ranch

Meadow Ranch | Mesa Grande

Beyond the gates of a private enclave in Mesa Grande lies Meadow Ranch, an exceptional 34+/- acre retreat shaped by ancient oaks, broad open meadows, and the quiet beauty of San Diego County’s backcountry.

Here, the land takes center stage. Sweeping grasslands unfold beneath impressive groves of native oak, while two meandering ephemeral creeks converge toward a broad pond basin. The landscape feels both expansive and intimate, with changing views, abundant wildlife and secluded places to gather, explore or simply enjoy the stillness of the land.

A comfortable approximately 1,200-square-foot, three-bedroom, two-bath residence with a bonus room provides an inviting home base. A covered and screened porch overlooks the oak-framed seasonal pond area, creating a natural connection to the landscape and a peaceful place to experience the changing seasons.

Yet perhaps the greatest appeal of Meadow Ranch is what it could become. With substantial usable acreage, the property offers an extraordinary canvas for creating a more significant private estate or multigenerational family retreat. Subject to applicable approvals, the existing residence could potentially transition to an ADU while a new primary residence is created elsewhere on the land. There is ample room to envision barns, workshops, equestrian improvements, gardens, orchards and the other elements of a thoughtfully designed rural homestead.

A private well and existing 250-gallon water storage serve the property, with the opportunity to further enhance the water infrastructure. A72 zoning and the “O” animal designator complement the property's rural character and provide flexibility for animals, agriculture and residential uses, while underground electrical service extends throughout the property.

The private gated neighborhood is reserved for single-family residential use and does not permit commercial uses, helping preserve the privacy, tranquility and rural character that make this setting so special.

Historic Julian, the Santa Ysabel Preserve, Lake Henshaw and Palomar Mountain are all within easy reach, yet arriving at Meadow Ranch feels decidedly removed from the outside world.

For those seeking acreage, privacy and the freedom to create something lasting, Meadow Ranch offers more than a home in the country. It is a place to put down roots, shape a vision and create a family retreat meant to be enjoyed for generations.
