Property Description
Tucked into the hillside among dramatic natural boulders in Mount Merritt, a quiet enclave within Casa de Oro–Mount Helix, this home offers a rare combination of privacy, views, and everyday functionality. The setting feels truly special, with cool breezes, abundant natural light, and sweeping views to the west, including Cowles Mountain to the north, Mount Helix due west, Mount San Miguel to the south, and incredible sunset skies. The main home features 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, and approximately 1,674 square feet. Inside, the living room is bright and inviting with vaulted open-beam ceilings, a fireplace, large windows, and sliding glass doors that connect the home to the outdoor patio and surrounding hillside scenery. The main living areas are spacious and comfortable, and the home’s block construction provides added insulation from both warm and cool weather. The large primary suite includes ample closet space, dual vanities, a separate getting-ready area, and an updated shower. The two secondary bedrooms are also generously sized, offering flexibility for guests, family, or a home office, and the remodeled second bath adds a clean, updated feel. Incredibly well maintained and turn-key move-in ready, the property also includes updated electrical, a large detached 2-car garage with a 3/4 bath, and a covered carport area that can accommodate multiple vehicles, RV parking, boat parking, or flexible storage needs. With mature landscaping, multiple outdoor areas, natural rock formations, and panoramic East County scenery, this is a unique opportunity to own a private hillside retreat in one of the area’s most distinctive settings.
