About this home

21179 Sutherland Dam Road, Ramona, CA - A Modern Homestead, Built Without Compromise Perched above the valley with sweeping views in every direction, including an impressive view of Lake Sutherland, this brand-new custom estate is a rare fusion of durable construction and fine craftsmanship. Built from the ground up with reinforced concrete block, this home offers the kind of fire-resistant construction increasingly valued in Ramona's landscape, engineered to last while every finish inside was chosen to feel handmade. Step through the custom front door - milled from Hemlock Fir timber harvested on Palomar Mountain - framed in hand-forged iron hardware and flanked by glass sidelights, into a light-filled contemporary interior wrapped in Andersen 100 Series windows and doors. American black walnut runs throughout - cabinetry, doors, flooring - paired with a masonry wood-burning fireplace and custom lighting fixtures that give every room a warm, artisan touch. Even the small details are considered: a hand-built walnut stemware rack tucked beneath the cabinetry, vertical wood-slat railings, and rustic hand-welded steel rain diverters that hint at the craftsmanship behind the walls. The 2,700 sq ft main residence features a 3 bedroom-floor plan...built out as two bedrooms plus a versatile bonus room - easily converted into a third bedroom - along with 3 full bathrooms. A separate 450 sq ft attached JADU adds even more flexibility, perfect for multigenerational living, a private guest suite, or rental income. Three separate heating and air conditioning systems and a heat-pump water heater keep the home efficient zone by zone, backed by a 3.6kW solar system (Rule 21 compliant) and a Grundfos solar-powered well pump delivering excellent water. Outside, the property spans almost 13.5 acres, framed by split-rail cedar fencing and shaded by 24 mature olive trees. A small frog pond adds a peaceful touch, and deer and wild turkey are frequent visitors. With more than 5 tillable acres, there's room to build a barn, add horses, or plant an orchard - and the west-facing slope's gravelly soil makes it an excellent site for a future vineyard. A 4+ car garage and shop area rounds out the property, offering space for vehicles, equipment, or a workshop. This is a home built for someone who wants both resilience and refinement - new construction with the soul of a custom-built retreat.
