Welcome to your dream estate nestled in the picturesque rolling hills of De Luz, just moments from the heart of Temecula. This single-story Mediterranean-style home sits on a sprawling 9.85-acre, mostly flat, fenced and gated parcel. With 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, an office, and a formal dining room spread across 2,659 sq ft, this property is an open canvas ready for you to transform into your masterpiece. The interior has been mostly gutted and is ready for a full remodel. Step inside to discover an expansive open-concept floor plan that invites natural light through multiple skylights and soars under vaulted ceilings. The heart of the home is its huge kitchen, with a custom built stone & brick pizza oven and a large island that seamlessly opens into the great room with its massive fireplace. This home offers incredible potential for customization, allowing you to add your own personal touches to create the ultimate estate home retreat. Equestrian enthusiasts will fall in love with the property's 6-stall Blue Ribbon Barn, 2 foaling stalls, a wash rack, a tack room, and a storage room, plus a comfortable sitting area to soak in the serene surroundings. There’s also a 6-stall mare motel and ample space for an arena making this property an equestrian paradise. For those who appreciate the bounty of nature, the land features approximately 146 commercial avocado trees, alongside a separate family grove near the home with a variety of fruit trees including apples, tangerines, limes, plums, and more. With plenty of room for a future ADU/guest house and swimming pool, the outdoor possibilities are as vast as the land itself. Although this home is a fixer requiring a thorough remodel, it appraised for $1,600,000 in February of 2022 (Appraisal available upon request) and offers a rare opportunity to craft your custom estate in one of Southern California's most coveted areas. De Luz is a community of private estates that take full advantage of breathtaking vistas, stunning sunsets, starry nights, and the kind of peace that feels worlds away from city life, yet you're just minutes from Temecula’s renowned wine country, shopping, dining, golf, and excellent schools.
