The estate
Concealed deep within 40 private acres above Ramona, adjacent to Cleveland National Forest, this extraordinary compound offers what almost no property can: total privacy, architectural beauty, and complete self-sufficiency — without sacrifice.
The Spanish Colonial main residence commands panoramic views across the San Diego mountain ranges. A 75-foot infinity pool dissolves into the horizon. A private helipad and hangar place San Diego just ten minutes away by air. The estate runs entirely off solar — no utility dependency, no vulnerability.
The resort-scale pool commands unobstructed views across the Cleveland National Forest mountain ranges. An expansive terrace, professional outdoor kitchen, and covered bar with stone columns complete the outdoor oasis.
Property highlights
Resort-scale infinity pool with programmable LED lighting, outdoor kitchen and covered bar with stone columns and mountain views to the horizon.
On-site helipad, hangar, pilot's lounge, and professional machine shop. San Diego Airport is ten minutes by air. The vineyard and helipad share the same summit.
20kW solar system, ten Tesla Powerwalls, backup generator, and two 25 GPM wells with solar-powered Lorentz pump. Zero utility dependency.
A fully equipped event venue with professional line-array audio, stage lighting, chandelier, and open-air mountain views — private entertaining at any scale.
Exposed timber trusses, full-slab marble primary bath, custom walnut cabinetry, wide-plank hardwood, spiral iron stair, and whole-home Niles surround sound.
Private vineyard, miles of exclusive hiking trails, bocce court, courtyard with wood fireplace, ornamental fountain, and fire pit terrace — all with no neighbors in sight.

Outdoor living
The outdoor kitchen and covered bar sit beneath a vaulted tongue-and-groove ceiling, framing the event barn and mountain ranges beyond through stone columns. Seating for a dozen at the granite-topped bar — with the entire San Diego mountain range as the backdrop.
Beyond the pool terrace, a fire pit seating area anchors the lower lawn, accessed by a grand central staircase with the house and mountains rising symmetrically behind.
Private aviation
The estate's dedicated helipad and fully equipped hangar sit adjacent to the private vineyard on the compound's upper summit — a layout that makes clear this property was designed for a particular kind of owner.
A pilot's lounge, professional machine shop with Baileigh equipment, and ample equipment storage complete the facility. Two fire hydrant locations ensure safety is never an afterthought.
Interiors
Off-grid infrastructure
Behind the compound's beauty is serious engineering. Ten Tesla Powerwalls store energy from the 20kW solar array. A Pentair pool filtration system, Lorentz solar well pump, backup generator, and fully independent electrical infrastructure ensure the estate operates flawlessly — entirely off the grid.
Two 25 GPM wells provide abundant water. Two fire hydrant locations with dedicated plumbing offer genuine fire protection for this wilderness setting. Every system has been engineered for permanence, not improvisation.
Property details
Every detail has been considered — from the whole-home Niles surround sound to the professional event barn with stage lighting, three-car garage, and central vacuum. A turnkey compound built for those who demand the extraordinary.

The experience
Properties like this exist because someone refused to accept the ordinary. An on-mountain compound that is fully self-sufficient, professionally equipped for aviation, large-scale entertaining, and serious maker work — while remaining a genuinely beautiful home that rewards those who make the journey to reach it.
Location & access
Situated high above Ramona in the mountains of San Diego County, adjacent to Cleveland National Forest, the estate offers seclusion that is absolute. The drive winds through rural roads for 30+ minutes from town — a deliberate separation from the world. For those who value immediacy when they want it, the on-site helipad eliminates the distance entirely.
