About this home

Tucked within the private, guard-gated community of Rimrock Estates, this home offers a rare opportunity to experience one of North County's best-kept secrets. Set among gorgeous custom estates, the property features sweeping panoramic vistas extending to the ocean and Catalina Island, exceptional privacy, and a peaceful hillside setting where space and a connection to nature come together. What truly sets this property apart is its layout: five bedrooms, each with its own private bath, plus an additional half bath, all spread across 5,287 square feet on a 1.14-acre lot with an oversized four-car garage and owned solar. The home is also designed for indoor-outdoor living, with a pool, spa, outdoor kitchen, and multiple living areas that open to the backyard and views. Designed for comfort, flexibility, and everyday livability, this is one of the community's most practical and well-planned floor plans. The downstairs level offers an impressive blend of space, abundant natural light, and functionality. A dramatic entry with high ceilings and a sweeping staircase opens to generous living areas, including a huge family room with a fireplace, a separate living room currently used as a game room, a formal dining room, and a spacious kitchen with rich cabinetry, Thermador Appliances, a large center island, and a breakfast nook. The main rooms capture beautiful views and feature multiple French doors opening to the patio, backyard, pool, and outdoor kitchen. A downstairs bedroom with a full bath provides flexibility for guests, multigenerational living, or a private office, while an additional half bath adds everyday convenience. The upper level continues the home's spacious and functional design with a large loft, built-in desk space, and a generous laundry room with ample cabinetry, counter space, and a sink. Three secondary bedrooms each feature their own private bath. The primary suite is an impressive private retreat with a sitting area and fireplace, large windows framing the panoramic views, and a private balcony. The primary bath is especially unique, with separate his-and-hers sides divided by a large walk-through shower with dual entrances. Her side features a soaking tub with views, a sink and vanity, a dedicated getting-ready area, and a large walk-in closet. His side includes its own sink and vanity, as well as a separate walk-in closet. Each side also has its own private water closet, creating a thoughtful layout that feels both luxurious and highly functional. The resort-style outdoor areas feature a sparkling saltwater pool and spa set against sweeping panoramic views. A separate circular fire pit terrace features built-in stone seating beneath a dramatic pergola, while two covered patios offer space for outdoor dining and relaxation. The expansive outdoor kitchen includes a gas barbecue, charcoal barbecue, griddle, burners, sink, refrigerator, generous counter space, and wraparound bar seating. Rimrock Estates offers many of the qualities luxury buyers seek-privacy, views, custom architecture, gated access, and larger homesites-along with a North Escondido location approximately 27 minutes from North County beaches and about 45 minutes from the airport.
