Palomar Mountain News

Three of the newest listings available on Palomar, are part of the property that Elsie Roberts first fell in love with in 1904:  

“Remembering vividly as a girl in 1904, I recognized that Palomar belonged to me immediately as I reached the top, and the wagon stopped on the crest. I ran through the woods to the edge and saw the worlds spread below in unutterable beauty.  If it is commendable for a citizen to claim a city proudly as his own, is it too outrageous with passionate devotion should one claim a mountain?”

From the Journals of Elsie Roberts, shared by granddaughter, Barbara Anne Waite.  (Elsie’s first Journal is a MUST READ.  It tells of her time as a school teacher in Arizona 100 years ago and meeting the man who became her husband, loving Palomar too.   Elsie’s Palomar Journal is coming soon!)

In the early days on Palomar, this very beautiful land was a haven of rest for weary travelers.  Elsie’s family managed “Planwydd Hotel” and had an apple business.  Oh,  the great fun they had, and if these trees could talk, what stories they could tell!  The hotel is gone but the beauty of the property remains.  The apples are as delicious as ever and their apple truck found a nice resting place, as  nostalgic ‘lawn art’.  Elsie left behind a journal telling of their adventures and even her recipe for Squirrel Stew that is soon to be published. 

Presently, the property owner has  a caretaker’s trailer on one of the parcels, with power, phone, and an excellent commercial well.  I have a feeling that this land will someday have a wonderful cabin and be a much-enjoyed getaway.  Like more land?  The 8 acre Orchard with Ocean views that was Elsie’s “Inspiration Point” is next door, could be yours too for a total of 16 acres.

Or, there is 49 acres with absolutely fabulous, off-mountain views of “unutterable beauty”.  Will your family be the ones to make memories to treasure at Planwydd Acres?

Here is a tip!  Up until a couple of hours ago, there were five new parcels for sale!  Opened escrow today on two of them, so these are the only three left.  Call quick for your tour.  Bonnie 760 742-1742
