Hilltop Mediterranean on 5 Acres — Panoramic Valley & Mountain Views
Set above the valley on a private 5.00‑acre promontory, 2702 Country Club Drive is a custom Mediterranean retreat that combines expansive panoramas with practical livability. The 3,624 SF floorplan (4 bedrooms, 3 baths) was built for comfortable, flexible living — generous public rooms and numerous windowed sightlines catch long-range mountain and sunset views while the interior is freshly painted and move-in ready. The layout provides dedicated spaces easily converted to a home office, gym, or studio while preserving a gracious scale throughout.
Functional features underscore the property’s self-sufficient character: seller notes a private well and an owned solar system, plus productive avocado trees and room to garden or run small‑scale hobby agriculture. An attached garage includes a bonus utility room and an extra bathroom—useful for a workshop, guest facility, or gear cleanup after outdoor pursuits. The lot’s 5 acres provide privacy from neighbors and abundant outdoor opportunities without sacrificing access to town — central Escondido is a short drive for groceries, dining, and services.
Outdoor life here is a highlight. Spring brings native poppies and frequent wildlife visitors such as hawks and quail; evenings close with dramatic sunsets over the valley. The lot’s slope and exposure create multiple potential terraces for entertaining, gardening, or simply soaking in the views. Nearby open-space resources and trailheads (Daley Ranch, Elfin Forest area) give keen hikers and equestrians quick access to miles of trails.
This property is ideal for buyers seeking a private, scenic North County home with acreage and sustainable features. With tasteful updates focused on the kitchen and primary bath and a landscaping plan that showcases usable acreage, the house can command a higher price point in this niche market. Please schedule showings through the listing agent and review solar/well documentation as part of due diligence.

A factual market snapshot around 2702 Country Club Dr.
Escondido sits in San Diego’s North County market where demand for single-family homes remains solid but is nuanced by product type. Entry-level homes (sub-$900K) typically move fastest; unique, large‑lot properties like this one sell to a narrower buyer pool and often command a premium for privacy and views. Recent trends in the area show modest appreciation (mid-single digits year-over-year) with roughly 2–4 months of inventory in many neighborhoods — though specific micro-markets and high-end/lifestyle properties can vary. Priced at $1,495,000, this home competes favorably against other acreage/view properties and will attract buyers relocating from coastal communities seeking space, buyers wanting a hobby farm, and families prioritizing outdoor access. Targeted marketing emphasizing the 5‑acre setting, solar + well savings, and panoramic sunsets will shorten marketing time and improve net proceeds.
