The owners of this absolutely charming cabin closed escrow last week on the home-of-their-dreams. So, they reduced the price again for Inspiration Hideaway. I’m told that road base is on the way to improve the road going in that will make it really nice for you, so let’s go. Come up and enjoy the best price per square foot of the nicest remodel of a vintage cabin on the Mountain!

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!!!)

The last couple owners have moved in this charming hideaway as newlyweds. So, lots of love has gone into the beautiful craftsmanship with a recent extensive remodel. 1700 sf, three bedrooms, beautiful kitchen open to the dining and living area. Open beam ceiling upstairs, presently used as a master. 27 x 22! What would YOU do with that space? Game room? Home school? Bunk room for the Brady Bunch? It could be an awesome office or workshop. Lots of options. Nearly a half acre, totally level, entirely fenced and gated for the little ones and your pups. Excellent access. Such a lovely home to live in fulltime, or weekend, above the clouds in this turn-key, easy-care getaway.
Click for lots more photos and MLS info. Sure is a beautiful first day of July on the mountain today, above the clouds. Come on up and let’s go for a tour!

One year we watched fireworks from the rim of the mountain and counted 17 different shows! When I saw this info, I thought some of you might have fun with it, identifying the shows from the top of Palomar.
