Off-Grid Goes Glam in Julian, CA

About an hour east of San Diego, CA, in the historic gold rush town of Julian, off-grid goes glam in a luxurious and completely footprint free house with an asking price of $1,699,876. The 5+ acre mountain top property sits 5,000 feet above sea level with panoramic views of the Cuyamaca mountains. The multi-winged manse measures 4,490 sq. ft. and includes a family friendly 3-5 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms.


No luxury or fine finish was spared in the sprawling house. There are travertine marble and cherry wood floors, a 1,700 sq. ft. great room with 21-foot ceilings and a 10-foot projection television, and a gourmet kitchen with a walk in pantry, instant hot water system, two ovens, and two dishwashers. The master suite includes dual walk-in closets, a fireplace, spa tub and an adjacent room sitting room or office.

The entire property, built in 2005, leaves no energy footprint thanks to an extensive solar system that creates all the power required to run the house and domestic water comes from a well drilled on the property. The exterior is clad in a fireproof concrete siding and a three car garage provides plenty of space for a small fleet of hybrid cars.For more information contact Susan Marshall at (858) 449-2444.
