About this home
Discover Shelter Valley, nestled in the high desert foothills near Julian, San Diego County. This inviting mini-ranch spans five fenced and gated acres, thoughtfully arranged into two 2.5-acre parcels, (5 acres total!) each with its own well, power, and address. The main home welcomes you with a bright, airy feeling, featuring two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Sunlight flows through every window, painting the mountains in golden hues and lifting your spirits from sunrise to sunset. There is ample room to build your dream garage, or you can take advantage of the three versatile cargo containers already on site. One 40-foot container is powered and ready for your next workshop project, while the other two are joined by a shaded breezeway, perfect for open-air parking or storage. On the second parcel, a vintage trailer home at 721 Wells Fargo Trail invites you to step back in time, complete with classic wood paneling, louvered windows, and a playful pink motif in the kitchen and bath. Even the bedroom boasts a retro waterbed frame. This unique setup is ideal for a multi-generational homestead, a vacation getaway, or a source of rental income. This Mediterranean microclimate is absolutely perfect for so many different lifestyles: from the horseman or woman and livestock keeper to the winemaker, olive and lavender grower, vintage car collector, and snowbird alike. Come tour right away because chances are, this is your niche! Ready-made and waiting just for you.
