ParticipantI would suggest for you a “fire rebuild” situated on a larger lot in Scripps, which, hopefully still has one or two old trees that didn’t burn. It will be a 2004-2007 built home but will list it’s original build date in the listing IF the property didn’t completely burn to the ground in 2003.
Then you will have the “best of both worlds” without the HOA (or only annual HOA dues) and no MR. Check availability and cost of fire coverage from previous owner or before making an offer.

ParticipantIf I were you, I’d go check out that house in Del Mar, its got most of what you are asking for, minus the age of the house. You indicated wanting that older estate feel but having been built in 2000-05 means you are going to have a much tougher time finding that combination. I believe you are going to need to find a custom home versus track home to find that combination. Also I think you really need to go look at these homes. Just because its newer doesn’t mean its well constructed versus a home that’s slightly older may have been better custom construction.
Overall, Del Mar and the adjacent coastal areas are much better location wise IMHO than RB or Poway and I believe will hold its value better. Scripps Ranch burned in the 03 fires, hence a lot of rebuilds that BG mentioned, so ask yourself if you want to deal with higher wildfire risks being further east

Participant[quote=zzz]I’m with SD R, its hard to suggest when you haven’t listed your requirements. For instance, the example house you gave is 4000sqft, do you need something that large or will you settle for 3k?
At any rate, if you do a search on redfin for homes up to 1M, 4/3, 3500sq ft, and .25 acres as min requirement, it doesn’t yield too many homes within 15-20m of SV
Here’s a few that I thought had potential:
http://www.redfin.com/CA/San-Diego/10222-Rookwood-Dr-92131/home/4975603http://www.redfin.com/CA/Encinitas/721-La-Quebrada-92024/home/4172070
This one is listed above $1M, but its been on the market for 198 days and the price keeps coming down:
http://www.redfin.com/CA/Del-Mar/715-Avocado-Pl-92014/home/4397615%5B/quote%5DLa Quebrada in Olivenhain is a clusterf&*K that cant be fixed. You can either live with the funky old floorplan but its probably a tear down. The owner is an old time builder who kept adding on for his personal needs. It looks like a house you would find in Puerto Neuvo.
Avocado in rural DM is tricky. Can be lots of freeway noise up there. Hard to tell without walking the site. If you are willing/able to spend around $1 to $1.2M you can get an amazing property exactly like you described in rural DM. Just takes patience and good help. Its one of my favoriate areas and I would live in that area in second.
