2521 Honeybell Lane

Located in San Diego County, this exceptional Chaparral Ridge residence offers true resort-style living in one of Southern California’s most desirable regions. Perched atop rolling hills just below Dixon Lake, the home enjoys sweeping panoramic views from nearly every room, including the bedrooms, family room, and multiple balconies. City lights and mountain vistas stretch endlessly, and on the Fourth of July, fireworks from three different cities can be seen directly from the primary bedroom balcony. Evenings are peaceful and quiet, with clear night skies ideal for stargazing. The backyard offers a rare level of privacy, enhanced by the thoughtful placement of neighboring homes. Designed for both relaxation and entertaining, the outdoor space features a beautifully landscaped yard with a large fountain, a secondary fountain, and fruit trees that produce year-round. A gas-powered fire pit with volcanic rock and built-in seating creates an inviting gathering area. Multiple patio spaces elevate the outdoor experience, including the original covered patio and a custom-built courtyard-style patio with surrounding walls and a private entrance—an outdoor retreat that would be extremely costly to recreate today. Inside, the home reflects the elegance of a model residence, with extensive upgrades throughout. The family room is anchored by a specially installed gas fireplace, adding warmth and ambiance. The gourmet kitchen showcases a custom artist-painted backsplash, while upgraded exposed beams enhance the architectural character of the family room. (Description continued below) Wrought-iron window accents elevate the formal living room and an upstairs bedroom, and every bathroom features premium tile and backsplash upgrades. The layout is ideal for both daily living and hosting. A first-floor guest suite includes a full bathroom and direct access to the backyard, perfect for guests or multigenerational living. Upstairs, a spacious game room provides flexibility as an entertainment lounge, media room, or pool table area. The home includes four bedrooms, a dedicated game room, formal living and dining rooms, four full bathrooms, and an additional powder room. Two balconies further enhance the indoor-outdoor connection—one off the primary suite with expansive city views, and another accessible from a bedroom and the game room, overlooking the mountains near Dixon Lake. A dramatic arched front window creates a stunning focal point and the perfect setting for a grand holiday display. The fully finished three-car garage features epoxy flooring and extensive custom cabinetry by California Closets. Owned solar panels significantly reduce energy costs, adding long-term value and efficiency. Built by Shea Homes, the neighborhood is ideal for evening walks and community living. The location is exceptional—just 10 minutes from the San Diego Zoo Safari Park, close to hiking trails, and within easy driving distance of the beaches of Encinitas, Carlsbad, and Oceanside. LEGOLAND California and vibrant Grand Avenue in Escondido, known for dining, community events, and Cruisin’ Grand, are nearby. Healthcare and education options are outstanding, with Palomar Medical Center minutes away, John Paul the Great Catholic University nearby, and CSU San Marcos approximately 15 minutes from the home, along with strong public, charter, and Catholic school options. Homes offering this level of privacy, views, upgrades, and outdoor living are increasingly rare. This is a special opportunity to own a home designed for entertaining, celebrating milestones, and creating lasting memories in the heart of San Diego County.
