CBRE is proud to present Exalta Farms, a one-of-a-kind 414-acre trophy ranch located in the heart of southern California. With a unique history and a lifetime worth of stories, which story would you like to tell? Located in North San Diego County near the famous Pala Casino, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to acquire an entirely unique, 414-acre estate and agricultural property nestled in a gentle canyon with excellent access and frontage along Highway 76, only two miles from Interstate 15. In a bucolic, almost magical setting, the 7,019 square foot custom built estate home with various outbuildings is an ideal opportunity for a personal residence, corporate retreat, and equestrian activities with ancillary agricultural operations. With well-landscaped and fully improved grounds, spacious lawns, a 2.5 acre reservoir, well water, privacy and acreage, few properties this close to downtown San Diego and Los Angeles provide this level of amenities and opportunity. The property and homesite along with a number of gentle knolls provide boundless views of nearby Palomar Mountain and the surrounding countryside. With its own private reservoir, gentle hillsides, and a commercial avocado grove, a drive, ride or walk through the property is serene and inspiring. Surrounding hills still have natural eucalyptus, oaks and riparian vegetation along a gentle creek. Also unique to North County is the nearly level to gently rolling topography that allows for all types of equestrian, ranch, and agricultural uses. With barns, corrals, storage, and out-buildings, all rural activities are easily undertaken and supported including the potential for horticulture. The commercial avocado and persimmon groves demonstrate the agricultural capability of the land for more intensive agricultural uses including wine grapes, flowers, citrus, row crops, and pastures. All of this, along with the estate quality home with an attention to detail that rivals even Rancho Santa Fe estates, will delight the most discriminating buyer. There are a total of 10 pre-1914 wells with accompanying water rights that are incredibly rare in California. At present, 3 wells are in production and supply water to the avocados, persimmons, and the other ranch operations. Additionally, there are domestic water meters that provide a second water source for abundant and plentiful irrigation water. There is a water storage tank that gravity feeds water to the southern portion of the ranch and an approximately 2.5 surface-acre reservoir used for water storage. Though not currently stocked, it could also be used as a recreational fishing lake. The incredible single story main estate home is comprised of 7,019 square feet of custom built serenity. The Master Bedroom boasts his and her bathrooms with 3 additional bedrooms, an office, butler's room, chef's kitchen, solarium, library, and exercise room.

Two separate garages can accommodate 5 cars with a workshop in the detached 3-car garage. Outside the home is an infinity pool with a waterfall, large patio entertaining areas and a pool house for entertaining.

With significant demand for homes in San Diego County, development has encroached on most of the once pristine lands such as Exalta Farms. Not only are there very few trophy ranches left, but they are rarely available for purchase and even more rare to find in this condition.
