Adjacent to Palomar County Park and sharing the easement, this Palomar Mt vacant parcel offers a quiet setting surrounded by mature old growth trees, boulders, wildlife, and privacy. Buildable lot features paved access, no through traffic, a gentle northern slope, and estimated elevation of 5,600 feet, where cooler summers, crisp mountain air, seasonal change, dark skies, and possible winter snow are all part of the appeal. Domestic well already installed and septic approval is in place, helping reduce two of the bigger unknowns that often come with raw land. Property is well suited for a small cabin, weekend getaway, seasonal retreat, outdoor basecamp, or future full time mountain lifestyle. Palomar Mt offers a rare mix of privacy, nature, and destination value. Nearby recreation and landmarks include Palomar Observatory, Palomar Mountain State Park, Doane Pond, Boucher Hill Fire Lookout, Observatory Trail, camping, picnicking, fishing, and miles of hiking through oak forest, chaparral, meadows, fir, and cedar woodland. The mountain also offers practical staples including Palomar Mt General Store, the local post office, and San Diego County Fire Station 79. This is a strong fit for a buyer who values quiet, nature, four seasons, and the opportunity to create something personal rather than buying a finished cabin. Palomar feels remote because daily commercial services are limited. But fuel, groceries, and larger errands can be handled at the base of the mountain in nearby Pauma Valley, Pala, Valley Center, Lake Henshaw, Santa Ysabel, or Julian.

Considering a fixer on Palomar? Wee Bit o' Scotch just might check all the boxes. Almost 500 square feet, it looks very cute but there is really nothing it doesn't need. Oh! It needs a cash buyer as I don't know of someone who will loan on such a gem. Such a fun history from the two sisters who own the cabin: "Our family roots go back four generations enjoying Palomar Mountain. Wee Bit o Scotch has been a getaway for over 9 decades. In 1931 our grandfather Wallace Stewart (a very fine Scotsman!) built the cabin. An early settler of Escondido, he and our Grandma Margaret would saddle the horses and ride up the Mountain with the children. You might still be able to see remnants of the hitching postunder a large oak tree off to the side. (Next time you are in Escondido, pop by Grape Day Park. When our grandparents were building a new house, they donated their big two story Victorian home to the HistoricalSociety and it is available to tour). In the mid 50s, our mom, Peggy Stewart inherited the cabin. At Escondido High School, Mom and her brother were pretty famous on Friday snow days for inviting friends to ditch school to be the first ones sledding on the fresh snow onPalomar. They'd light the kerosene lamps (that we have left for you),shoo away the mice (we've left those, too) and build a fire in the wood stove. The cabin wouldbe warm in notime at all. We all used the outhouse until it fell down one day. Mom told the story about it being hauled down the mountain for one of the big bond fire evenings at the high school. A modern bathroom was added but that was 54 years ago, a

Like a fun project? How about a cozy Forest Fixer? Nice setting back in off the main road. Built in 1941, the cabin grew a few decades ago to now a whopping 540 sf. There is a barn-workshop with a ladder to a stand-up loft that is even bigger than the cabin at about 622 sf. It all looks quite charming in the photos, doesn't it? Just want to make it clear there is work to be done. Bring the biggest tool box you have. It had been a rental in the past, used pretty hard, so the owner came from out of state to have it as clean as possible. We're needing a cash buyer to work on the foundation, drainage, change out the floor, install new electrical, plumbing, septic, fixtures, cabinets, appliances, windows, deck and - did I miss anything? Oh, a new wood stove and maybe you'd like ac? What do you get in return? A charming cabin on the well-kept secret of Palomar Mountain. It is a delightful step back in time and we'd love to have you join us for the beauty of the Four Season. Like a fun project? How about a cozy Forest Fixer? Nice setting back in off the main road.
