About 2368 Palo Danzante
It’s as unique as you are—your own private, tropical retreat nestled in the foothills with stunning views of hawks circling the treetops. It’s calm, quiet, and tucked away from it all in Palo Verde Ranch—yet you're just minutes from stores and restaurants. This jaw-dropping custom home is a rare, one-of-a-kind find. An artful 25 foot high waterfall cascades down as you approach the front door and flows under a bridge—each time you walk across it, you slow down and breathe a little deeper. The spectacular soaring glass foyer welcomes you in. Floor to ceiling windows flood the sprawling living/dining area with natural light, and the warm honey-toned high vaulted ceilings give a golden glow. A dramatic 20 foot high stacked stone fireplace anchors the space. The updated open-concept kitchen and den—with its stacked stone wall, fireplace, and granite hearth exude comfort and ease. Real hardwood floors, custom details, and thoughtful design give this home its uncommon blend of elegance, warmth, and character. All three bedrooms boast the rich, honey-colored vaulted wood ceilings. The serene primary has a spacious walk in closet and a high deck with views. There are two and a half bathrooms, plus a bonus space—ideal for a home office, guest area, or creative studio. All rooms except one connect to the outdoors through large sliders, and each of four decks offers a different view of the trees, boulders, and mountains. A breezy 27x27 covered deck adds even more outdoor living space for dining, entertaining, and spectacular sunsets. You also get owned solar, zoned AC plus a bedroom unit, a two-car garage with half bath and laundry, two carports, a 16x12 detached workshop, and ample parking space. The sparkling salt water pool with its giant Trex deck, gazebo, and carefree turf is perfect for relaxing. With 107 queen palms waving gracefully in the near-constant gentle breeze, 40 giant bird of paradise, and multi-colored flowers, visitors ask if this is a resort. The landscaping conserves water, doesn’t require mowing, blends with nature, and is lit with solar lights. Massage your worries and aches away in the chlorine-free 30-jet hot tub, visited by hummingbirds, owls, and doves. Equestrians and hikers appreciate the miles of trails right out the door. The barn can be used for horses or storage. Walk one block to a gorgeous lake, tennis/pickleball courts, a horse arena, and picnic pavilion set amongst picturesque ancient oaks, giant boulders, and trails with views of the Cuyamaca Mountains beyond. As part of the Palo Verde Ranch community, you also enjoy a clubhouse, gym, another park with a larger lake, sand beach, and lush lawn, a boat dock (electric boats only,) fishing, huge picnic pavilion, fun events, and more. This kind of property rarely comes along—peaceful, private, and unique character, all in a well-established, friendly community with top-notch amenities yet unbelievably low dues. If you’ve been looking for a home that feels like being on year-round holiday, this might be the one.
