Live among the vines in one of La Cresta s most desirable close-in locations. Set behind an automatic gate on over five usable acres, this 4,080-square-foot single-story estate offers beautiful vineyard and rolling-hill views, distant mountains, and city lights across Murrieta and Temecula. Approximately 2,500 wine grape vines stretch across the acreage, primarily Malbec with some Merlot. The vineyard creates a romantic and peaceful setting, with orderly rows adding beauty and character. It provides a backdrop to everyday life, while giving the next owner the option to produce wine from their own grapes or sell the fruit to local wineries for income. Inside, soaring ceilings, graceful arches and expansive windows create a light-filled, open and airy interior. The great room features dramatic floor-to-ceiling arched windows and a fireplace, while many windows bring in the stunning views. The spacious floor plan offers four bedrooms, three-and-one-half bathrooms, formal dining, a dedicated office, flex space, an entertaining bar and a kitchen with center island and breakfast seating. The primary suite includes its own fireplace and direct patio access, while the primary bath features a freestanding soaking tub and rain-style shower. An attached three-car garage and interior laundry add convenience, while 36-panel paid-off solar adds value and helps reduce utility costs. Outdoor living is equally inviting, with patios and landscaped areas positioned to take full advantage of the views. Multiple Fourth of July fireworks displays over Murrieta and Temecula can be seen from the property. There is plenty of room for a pool, while the usable acreage provides flexibility for horses, a barn, guest house, RV parking or additional agriculture. Mature landscaping, fruit trees and impressive oaks complement the vineyard. A private water well and 5,000-gallon water tank add valuable utility.
