Located in the small country town of Descanso lies this rare 3 bedroom, 1 bath log home with 1,248 sq ft of living space. Perched atop 2.5 acres, this home comes with its own private well and stunning, unobstructed mountain views. Nestled in the foothills of the Cuyamaca mountains, Descanso translates to “a place of rest” and this home provides the ultimate escape from the hustle and bustle of city life where you can do exactly that – rest. Immediately upon entering the home you are drawn to the gorgeous views. The window-filled living room is light and bright, spacious yet cozy. Curl up by the wood burning stove or step out onto the ~360 sq. ft. deck and take in the starry night. All three bedrooms and bathroom are located upstairs where the warmth of the log beams continues, as do the views. Downstairs features a partially finished, walk-out basement – perfect for additional storage or an additional work space. Log-built homes are well-insulated and help keep the living space cooler in summer and warmer in winter which means lower utility bills. The low energy needs also make log homes environmentally friendly with a minimal carbon footprint. Due to their strong construction, log homes have a reputation for being stable and reliable in almost any weather. The property is dotted with Manzanita, Oaks and Pines, and sweeping views of the mountains including Cuyamaca Peak. If you’re looking for the slower paced country lifestyle, this homes’ private location offers serenity, seclusion and respite from city life.
