ONLY YOU CAN PREVENT WILDFIRES

  What is your favorite season on Palomar?  One Fourth of July, we were at a party here and counted fireworks in 17 cities!  The longest show was out there on Catalina Island!  The front row seat in the winter is amazing too, watching the storms come in and roll across the county!  Sunsets are spectacular seeing the city lights come on ,and spotting cruise ships dotting the Pacific.

Such a well-built beautiful home with quality craftsmanship, and that four island view on the rim of the world!  Come see for yourself, and/or please share this link with your friends who might enjoy this turn-key year-round home.  Or, slip away for family getaways and offer as fabulous vacation rental!   It can be pretty nice to have real estate that can pay for itself!   Let’s work together to get the perfect new owners up here!  Click to see more photos, the MLS info and new pricing (may need to refresh your browser).  Who will be the next owner of this Four Season View?

The Forest Service folks have been going to all properties on Palomar, checking them for fire safety.  They have left flyers on the doors with tips to make your home more fire safe by creating 100 feet of defensible space.  Also, every property has a “Legal Notice to Remove Fire Hazards”.  I’ve picked up several notices at upcoming listings.  Some property passes just fine.  However others have “areas of concern” that are to be taken care of within a two week period of time.

Click for a pdf of the requirements.

In addition to creating 100 feet of defensible space, you are asked to post your house address in a minimum of 4 inch numbers, and make sure the area around your propane tank is clear 10 feet around.  It is also important to not have dirt next to the tank as it rusts a lot faster.  Make sure no branches are within 10 feet of your chimney. Some insurance companies don’t want trees hanging over the roof of the house.  (Trees are just like children, they grow up so fast!!!)
