About this home

Nestled on a flat, fully fenced 1-acre lot in peaceful Shelter Valley, this beautifully reimagined home offers privacy, comfort, and adventure. Don't let the original build year fool you—over $138,000 in recent capital improvements have transformed this property inside and out. Major improvements include a fully rewired electrical system with a new panel, updated plumbing, a new pump house and pumps for the existing water storage tank, waterproof vinyl plank flooring, fresh interior paint, and a newly fenced perimeter. Inside, warm wood-paneled walls and vaulted ceilings create the feel of a mountain retreat. The open-concept design features updated countertops, a farmhouse sink, and a custom wet bar. Both bathrooms have been remodeled with tiled walk-in showers, pebble-stone flooring, built-in benches, and updated vanities. Outside, enjoy the freshly stained deck, workshop, separate laundry building, motion-sensor lighting, and a usable acre with room for RVs, off-road vehicles, gardening, entertaining, and stargazing. RV hookups add convenience, while local electric service and trash pickup make country living easier. The local general store and campground are just one mile away. About 20 minutes from downtown Julian, you'll find charming shops, restaurants, wineries, and seasonal snow. Nearby Borrego Springs and Anza-Borrego Desert State Park offer hiking, off-roading, wildflower blooms, and breathtaking desert scenery. Whether you're seeking a peaceful home or a base for backcountry adventures.
