Palomar Mountain News

What a fun surprise to pop by a remodel today.  The owner is breathing new life into his very vintage, single wall cabin.  He found the original insulation – old magazine photos! Someone worked very hard a century ago, collecting those photos and pasting them on the wall to help keep the drafts out. Quite a collection of photos on heavy paper will soon be covered with the very latest insulation including recycled denim.

That makes the second cabin on the mountain that I know of Forever in Blue Jeans!

Just part of another fun day on Palomar!

Coming real soon!  Very peaceful, off-mountain view from deck and all rooms of brand new construction, 1281 sf three bedroom, two bath home.  Enjoy that view all the way to the Pacific!

There is a guest house, too!  Built in 1928, with just 353 square feet, it now has a full bath and room for a mini kitchenette. Plus you have a shed for those sleds!  Nearly an acre with great access, this just could be the most usable, level land of it’s size on all of Palomar!

The are still some things to finish up, appliances are being delivered soon and last minute touches.  Meanwhile, you are welcome to a ‘pardon our dust’ tour!

Just think, you could be in by Christmas!

Take a peek and come up for a Tour!

Many folks over the years ask if we have something for sale bordering National Forest.  Now is your chance.  Both of these parcels happen to border the same 300 acre piece of National Forest.  10 acres front on the South Grade and a two acre parcel is right off East Grade.  Both have beautiful off-mountain views.

Take a look at ‘South Grade Getaway’ and ‘Two Acres Ocean View’.  This photo was from the two acres where you can actually see the southerly point of Catalina Island silhouetted against the sun.

Come on up and walk the properties to see if one might for you!

One of the many special things of living on Palomar Mountain is enjoying the beauty of the Four Seasons.  Perfect Fall weather the last few days with the clouds rolling in and out, teasing of rain.  Today we have one extra hour to take in the crisp fall morning as last night our clocks were to Fall Back.

Our neighbors stopped by on a early morning hike with their extra hour.  I’m headed out now…  Happy Fall y’all!

 Two Mountain Events today:

Harvest Party! Tuesday, October 31st, 10a – 12ish at Observatory Outreach Center. Games: pumpkin bowling, Jack o’ lantern shooting, giant Jenga, potato sack race, three legged race, inflatable bounce house (for the littles), bobbing for donuts

Crafts: sugar cookie decorating, pumpkin brad man, acorn lacing Thanks to Jessica, Melanie, and Jody for their help with this. If anyone else is able to come, please bring snacks for the kids. No nuts! Thanks!!

If you don’t celebrate Halloween, no worries — we are keeping this strictly harvest. No costumes…save those for trick or treating later that night!

Trick or Treating:  Since neighbors aren’t used to having this many kids for Trick or Treating on Palomar, Stacy pre-arranged for places to trick or treat.

Meet at the Summit at 4:30 so we can carpool and LEAVE from the Summit at 4:45.  We have 20 places to hit but a lot of driving to do! Please don’t be late — if you are, head down to the Lodge, and then start working back towards the Summit to find us. Yay! Everyone is so excited we are coming to their places!!  We’ll end up with hot dogs and chips for a “Spooky Forest Trail Hike”.

Boo!

Many folks know the Eddie and Mona Ricchiuti family that has been on the mountain since 1964.

Blue jeans?  Yes!

Just in time for Fall fun!  We have a very special home for you!  First time on the market, it was built with very environmentally sensitive materials.  This includes using recycled denim for the insulation.  The contractor is one of the most respected builders in San Diego County. Well known for his fine craftsmanship, he builds with classical music playing in the back ground.  Pretty special!

You’ll love the home with two bedrooms, two full baths plus a loft that is presently an office.  It could easily be another sleeping room.  The home has an option to also enclose another room above the dining if you’d like even more sleeping areas.

One of the last properties at the end of the road, it is perfect for someone who would like to get away from the stress and demands of city life.  Come on up and explore this nine acres.  Sit a spell on the deck and enjoy watching the wildlife.  Have a very special retreat to create wonderful family memories with the beauty of the Four Seasons.

“…And if you pardon me, I’d like to say, you’ll do okay… Forever in blue jeans”
