The Estate in Waiting

29.5 Acres of Usable Land with the Infrastructure Already in Place

What most people don’t realize about San Diego acreage is the gap between owning land and being able to truly use it. Creating a functional property requires solving for water, power, access, and layout—often taking years and significant investment before a home is ever built.

22002 Lyons Valley Road offers a different starting point. This ~29.5-acre property already has the core systems in place, with water, underground electricity, and fencing distributed throughout the land—allowing you to live, operate, and expand without starting from scratch.

Flexible Living for Today and Tomorrow

The existing layout supports immediate use with housing options rarely found on rural parcels. Whether for extended family, on-site help, or supplemental income, the property is already configured for a multi-household lifestyle:

Main Residence: 3-bedroom, 2-bath home with central A/C.
Barndominium: 720 sq. ft. apartment with 2 bedrooms and 2 baths.

While you live on-site, the infrastructure continues to work for you. Utilities have been placed underground to preserve the natural setting, supported by a 42-panel solar system with Powerwall storage and a productive agricultural well.

Built for Function, Not Just Vision

The layout is designed for real-world use. A well-planned internal road system runs throughout the property, making it easy to move between pastures, structures, and work areas. A circular drive around the barn improves access for trailers and equipment, eliminating the need to back in or out during daily operations.

With the acreage fenced and cross-fenced, direct access to surrounding trails, and dedicated workspaces including a barn and processing area, this is not a blank canvas—it’s a property you can step into and start using immediately while building toward your long-term vision.
