Single-level Mediterranean Estate on 2.2 Acres with Pool & Spa
4851 Sweetgrass Lane is a rare single-story Mediterranean estate offering expansive indoor living and outdoor amenities on a private 2.2-acre corner parcel in Sweetgrass Estates. This thoughtfully laid-out 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home spans approximately 2,900 square feet and delivers a comfortable flow from formal living and dining to a generous family room that opens directly to the backyard. The floor plan centers on easy one-level living — bedrooms are separated from the primary entertaining spaces to preserve privacy and sightlines to the pool and gardens.
Outside the home, the property is designed for both intimate evenings and large gatherings: a sparkling pool with attached spa sits adjacent to a covered loggia and extensive hardscape; a decorative custom fountain and mature landscaping create a sense of permanence and privacy. A large circular driveway and covered parking complete the arrival experience; the listing references a four-car garage and photos indicate substantial covered parking and additional driveway capacity for guest vehicles and trailers.
The residence presents Mediterranean architectural cues — stucco walls, tile roof lines and arched openings — combined with modern comfort. Interior highlights include generous room proportions, multiple access points to the yard, and fireplaces that anchor living spaces. Systems and finishes are serviceable for immediate enjoyment, and selective updates or cosmetic enhancements will unlock further upside for buyers seeking to tailor the home to contemporary tastes.
Location is a major advantage: tucked into a quiet enclave yet just minutes from Bonsall village shopping, grocery, restaurants and a local movie theater. Commuting to northern San Diego employment centers is straightforward, while the property retains a distinctly rural, estate-like character suited to buyers who value acreage and outdoor lifestyle. This is a strong opportunity for downsizers wanting single-level living, families needing private grounds, or buyers seeking an accessible equestrian-adjacent community.
Schedule a private showing to experience the acreage, pool, and flexible indoor spaces. Please verify parking and permitted structures with county records as part of your due diligence.

A factual market snapshot around 4851 Sweetgrass Ln.
Bonsall and northern San Diego County continue to favor low-density, large-lot properties. Inventory for 2+ acre estate parcels is limited and buyer demand for privacy and outdoor amenities remains strong, supporting competitive pricing for well-presented homes. Median single-family sale prices in the broader area sit below the immediate list price for small-lot suburban homes, but large-acreage estates typically trade at a premium per property rather than per square foot. Days-on-market for comparable acreage properties can be longer than tract homes; a thoughtfully executed marketing campaign highlighting the parcel, single-level living and pool will draw the right buyers. Expect steady appreciation over the medium term, but verify condition items and permitted improvements as part of purchase underwriting.
Likely rural residential/estate zoning permitting single-family homes and accessory uses (e.g., accessory structures, limited agricultural uses). Confirm with County planning.
