Welcome to Shangri La! Loosely translated, Shangri La is a hideaway of idyllic beauty and tranquility. Which is exactly what you will find in this mountain home where unique architecture meets natural beauty. Located in the peaceful community of Pine Hills, this charming 2 bedroom, 2 bath home with approximately 844 sq. ft. of living space sits on just over 1 acre of land with westerly views of the mountains and ocean on a clear day. Circular homes are said to be energy efficient, as they have less surface area to come in contact with adverse weather conditions, improving their overall durability and energy efficiency of the home. Rounded architecture is also thought to epitomize balance and harmony which is felt when you step out to the Brazilian Ipe deck with private, unobstructed views and built in BBQ. While the home is perfectly situated as a full-time residence, there is no denying that it would make for a successful short-term rental or Air BnB. Energy efficient split units in the living room and each bedroom offer heat and ac as well as a wood burning fireplace in the living room and primary bedroom for cozy evenings by the fire The main deck wraps around the entire structure, giving you a sense of living in the tree tops and offering views from every room of the house. The lower portion of the home has another brand new, beautifully shaded deck perfect for an evening glass of wine and a space currently used as an office with a separate laundry area. A detached 2-car garage with new electrical wiring and a new roof round out the home’s amenities.
The property is dotted with mature trees and allows you the opportunity to experience the four seasons. Providing you with a secluded retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life, yet a short 10-minute drive to historic Main St Julian with charming boutiques, restaurants, and breweries. Not to mention the apple pie shops, vineyards, cideries and budding music scene. 20 minutes from Boating and Fishing at Lake Cuyamaca and minutes to over a dozen of the top hiking trails in the Julian area, 40 minutes to the Anza Borrego Desert and only an hour and 15 minutes to San Diego city center. Enjoy the peace and tranquility of country living without sacrificing any modern conveniences.
