About this home

Welcome to 713 Quiet Hills Farm Road, a truly extraordinary and storied estate tucked into the highly sought-after Lake Hodges community, featuring timeless architecture, rich local history, and an unforgettable 1.13-acre setting. Originally built in 1935 by renowned author Harold Bell Wright and later owned by Reuben H. Fleet, this single-level farmhouse estate blends character and legacy with the comforts and design today’s buyers crave. Thoughtfully remodeled in 2017, with additional enhancements to the carriage house and office completed in 2020, the property has been carefully curated for modern living. Set behind a gated entrance and approached by a long, private, tree-lined driveway, the home offers a peaceful, secluded setting just minutes from I-15, dining, and everyday conveniences. Spanning approximately 4,448 square feet (plus an additional 400-square-foot loft), the residence features 5 bedrooms and 4.5 baths, all on one level. Classic farmhouse charm is paired with refined finishes and warm, inviting spaces designed for both entertaining and everyday comfort. At the heart of the home is a chef’s kitchen featuring dual Thermador ovens, a six-burner Thermador range, Sub-Zero refrigerator/freezer, Bosch dishwasher, and KitchenAid wine refrigerator. The kitchen opens seamlessly to expansive living areas and a central courtyard, creating easy indoor-outdoor flow. Large, light-filled rooms connect effortlessly to the surrounding grounds. Designed for gathering and making memories, the home offers a thoughtful collection of amenities including a temperature-controlled 120-bottle walk-in wine cellar and five historic storage cellars that add both charm and function. Outdoors, the estate is both beautiful and highly usable. A resort-style saltwater pool anchors the space, complemented by a gorgeous poolside cabana with an outdoor kitchen and dedicated entertaining area. Mature landscaping, curated gardens, and expansive improvements create a setting that feels lush, private, and serene. Owned solar for both the home and pool, energy-efficient systems, rainwater collection, and high-end synthetic turf with a custom wraparound mini-golf course add both sustainability and fun. An attached carriage house has been transformed into a character-rich entertaining space and bar, with a spiral staircase leading to a 400-square-foot loft (not included in the main square footage), ideal for guests, recreation, or creative use. Every corner of the property supports both large gatherings and everyday moments—morning coffee in the courtyard, afternoons in the garden or greenhouse, and evenings spent outdoors. From neighborhood get-togethers and garden afternoons to greenhouse harvests and pool parties, the lifestyle here is as rich as the setting itself. Located in a community known for its quiet, serene landscapes and close-knit feel, where neighbors gather for holiday celebrations and seasonal traditions. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a home with deep history in one of North County’s most sought-after communities—where privacy, character, and connection come together in a way that is truly rare. Welcome home. For those seeking additional privacy, expanded outdoor space, or the opportunity to create a true family compound, please also consider the adjacent .74-acre parcel at 0 Quiet Hills Farm Road.
