About this property
INCREDIBLE LA CRESTA EQUESTRIAN OPPORTUNITY! Discover the privacy and serenity of “Pinewood,” a beautiful 5.34-acre country ranch tucked away on a peaceful cul-de-sac in the heart of highly sought-after La Cresta. Surrounded by mature trees, fruit orchards, expansive grounds, and breathtaking views, the property offers a tranquil, park-like setting with no road noise, yet remains conveniently close to town, schools, shopping, dining, hospitals, the 15 Freeway, and Temecula Wine Country. The fully fenced, usable acreage is ideal for equestrian living, featuring a FULL ARENA designed to accommodate up to 20 horses, fenced paddocks with water and electricity, and ample room for a future barn, stables, and additional horse amenities. A graded pad offers the potential for an additional residence, guest house, or RV, complete with power, sewer, and water. A seasonal stream adds to the property’s natural charm. The charming two-story home features 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, complemented by a sparkling pool and spa. Paid-for solar and a private well supplying the landscaping provide the potential for significant savings on ongoing utility costs.

Assumes equal monthly payments on a fully amortizing fixed-rate loan; no adjustable rates, interest-only periods or balloon payments. Excludes closing costs, utilities, maintenance, special assessments and other unentered costs. Actual payments and escrow can differ. Review a Loan Estimate with your lender.
