Located west of I-5 in the heart of Leucadia, this exceptional coastal retreat is quietly tucked away on an incredibly private 0.68-acre canyon lot overlooking the Batiquitos Lagoon. Offering a rare combination of privacy, natural beauty and an unbeatable location, the property feels like your own secluded estate, yet is just a short stroll to Ponto Beach, Highway 101, and Leucadia's renowned restaurants, coffee shops and boutiques. Surrounded by towering Monterey Pines, mature landscaping and year-round ocean breezes, the grounds evoke the feeling of a private coastal sanctuary. The expansive backyard offers multiple outdoor entertaining areas, a spacious Ipe wood deck, landscape lighting, irrigation, an outdoor surf shower, and mature Mulberry and Pomegranate trees. Picture windows capture beautiful sunrise views over the lagoon, while spectacular full moon rises create an unforgettable backdrop rarely found in coastal San Diego. The beautifully updated residence is complemented by a detached studio and a fully permitted ADU with its own private entrance and separate address, offering exceptional flexibility for guests, extended family, a private office, or income-producing opportunities. Thoughtfully upgraded throughout, the home blends timeless coastal architecture with today's modern conveniences. Recent improvements include a new roof, owned solar electric system with battery backup, new HVAC system, new insulation and ductwork, air conditioning, furnace, new electrical panel with Tesla EV charger, dual-pane windows, and a fully insulated attic. The stunning primary suite, designed by renowned Encinitas architect Steve Adams, opens onto a private garden deck overlooking the lush grounds. Wake each morning to the sun rising over the Batiquitos Lagoon, and on full moon evenings enjoy the moon rising from the comfort of your bedroom—a truly extraordinary experience that few homes can offer. Properties offering this level of privacy, usable land, multiple living spaces and an irreplaceable west-of-I-5 Leucadia location rarely become available. Whether you're looking for a private coastal residence, multi-generational living, or the ultimate Leucadia lifestyle, this is a home that is every bit as special as its setting.
