Castle on a hill, breathtaking views, surrounded with pools, trees, and lawn
Exclusive Escape at Boulder Groves!
The secluded, gated, hill top estate home sits on 20 acres perched on a massive Granite Boulder with boulder pools wrapping around the home and resort style landscape. The 360 degree views are offered from various points of the home and property. The Nuevo Tuscany architecture will take you away, yet provide the amenities commonly found in a resort hotel. A large natural pool/hot tub, wifi, tons of space indoors and outdoors to lounge around, and a large smart TV are all amenities of the home.
This home allows for 16 guests.
Tons of shopping, restaurants, and wineries are just a short drive away. 20 minute drive to Poway, Escondido, Lakeside, Santee, El Cajon, and 45 minutes to San Diego downtown, or the Beaches of North County San Diego, Del Mar, Torrey Pines, La Jolla, Encinitas, Solana Beach (Horse Racing too).
The Master Suite features a huge soaking tub, situated to enjoy the countryside view while soaking for hours. Big screen TV, California King bed, and views for miles and miles from the vaulted ceiling bed chamber area.
Downstairs in the Professional Quality Kitchen, featuring pantry, dual fridges for entertaining, granite and copper accoutrements, as well as a 10-person round table in the dining room with the finest dining ambiance as you enjoy the view through the octagonal windows surrounding you, your family and friends.
There is a home theater for you to enjoy, which features Roku TV.

Stayed 4 nights for our son’s wedding with a large family. Beautiful, spacious, quiet, peaceful. Had an event here and the hostess was responsive, so very helpful with everything needed for a successful event and always helpful. Castle On the Hill for the win. Thank you!

Views you’ll never forget!
Everything you see in the online pictures and more. Spectacular sunrises and superb sunsets. Pools better suited for looking at than swimming in, but with one pool big enough to cool off in. I’d be hesitant to bring young children because of the use of natural rock to navigate the pools, and any trips and falls would be painful. But the house has everything we needed, the grounds are gorgeous, the property manager is incredibly responsive and check in and check out are as easy as we’ve ever seen. We hated to leave!
