The Reveal

CozyGreat for Fitness LoversInsta-WorthyRelaxing

Description: Hacienda 6 Palms is a gorgeous Mountain Top Olive Ranch on 5 acres in Hidden Meadows, just north of Escondido! The private apartment above the garage is fully-furnished with an expansive 1000 square feet. The apartment has 5 rooms - A Living Room, Bedroom, Large Bathroom, Small Cafe Dining Room which is also a Tower Room with high ceilings made of red wood, and a European Kitchen. In the kitchen there is a full stove top cooking island, a European size fridge, an air fryer, microwave, blender, and all of the utensils you need. There is a BBQ Grill in your Tuscan Garden. In addition, the apartment has a large Walk-In Closet. There are great views of the Palomar Mountains! The property is lite up at night and looks stunning day and night!

Private Entrance: You have your very own Tuscan Garden which leads up to a beautiful custom made spiral staircase with a beautiful landing at the top. On the landing there is room for 2 people to enjoy coffee in the morning or wine at night while enjoying the views. You can also place a cafe table on the landing and work remotely either on the landing or in your Tuscan Garden, which is equipped with an electrical outlet so you can charge your laptop and work in the garden. It is stunning.

The Property and Parking: Guests staying here love staying in a quiet, clean, non-smoking house and property in a serene up-scale ranch mountain top neighborhood. The furniture in the apartment is a nice combination of West Elm, some antiques, and some custom furniture I designed and had made in Costa Rica . The olive ranch estate property is walled, gated, and private. There is a large driveway with plenty of parking. There is also Sprinter Van and Electric Vehicle parking in the vineyard in order for guests to park their Sprinter Vans. There is RV electric and water hookups.

Location: The hacienda is 2 minutes right off of Exit 37 off of the 15 and close to a lot of things - Carlsbad and Oceanside Beaches, Del Mar, La Jolla, and Encinitas, Wine Tasting, Potato Chip Rock, and Hiking Trails. Almost everything is about 25 minutes away.

Encinitas, Del Mar, Solana Beach, and Carlsbad Beach are all an easy 20-25 minute drive. Within 10 miles are a lot of wineries. San Diego and Hillcrest are just 35 minutes south.

Washer & Dryer: There is a washer and dryer in the garage to which you have access.

Tuscan Garden: You have your own private Tuscan Garden with a beautiful stone seating wall and a custom built outdoor fireplace. There is a teak table with chairs and umbrella, a babbling brook, a water fountain, all under the oak grove with Spanish moss blowing in the breeze, overlooking olive trees. At night the beauty is joined by low voltage landscape lights throughout as well as ambient string lights above. It is incomparable to anything else!

About Me: I am a really fun, yet quiet, professional male. I work a lot and travel a lot. When I am home in the main house I like working on the olive ranch or in the vineyard, chilling on the veranda, drinking wine, going to the beach, and making dinners using the organic food grown on the land.

Clothing optional: Your Tuscan Garden and the hot tub (depending on other guests) are California style - clothing optional! The property is so private that you can really enjoy your private space as long as other guests and neighbors are respected. The veranda behind my main house is my own private garden.

Your Email To Me: Please send me a great email telling me about yourself and your stay in San Diego. I look forward to meeting you and hosting you!

Thank you, Todd

Hey everyone, I am from Miami, and now live in San Diego in the north part of the county. I have a small Olive Ranch on a mountain top on the Hidden Meadows Mesa with great views of the Palomar Mountains of which Palm Springs is on the other side. It is 25 minutes north of San Diego, 25 minutes south of Temecula wineries, and 25 minutes to the beach. I love traveling, architecture, the beach, wine, and working on the ranch.

Todd was a great host and his place is beautiful! Pictures are accurate and the property is secluded and spacious. Lots of privacy in the apt but he is available as needed and a great communicator. He helped us arrange massages on the property and we enjoyed the hot tub. Would definitely recommend his place.

Truly the quintessential north county San Diego Spanish Colonial estate. As soon as you enter through the gate the magic and romance of the property captivates you down to the smallest detail. The house and the grounds are meticulously kept by the owner and seem to go on forever, I only wish we had spent a full day on the property because it was so relaxing and private. The suite is huge, much bigger than photos. Host is very friendly and cool to talk to, there when you need something, and busy maintaining the property or out the rest of the time. And for lovers of moonlight and magnolia, the property features actual living Spanish moss, certainly a first in our time time in California! Couldn't recommend this property more.

I stayed here for a two-week getaway and would totally recommend the house and Todd. The property is beautiful and private, the apartment has great amenities for a relaxing stay. I particularly enjoyed long baths in the soaker tub! The view alone is worth staying here. Convenient location off the freeway, yet it still feels comfortably remote. Quick drive to downtown Escondido, and also an easy drive to Black's Beach. Todd is so sweet and accommodating. Can't wait to return!

This was an absolutely incredible stay. Todd was so welcoming, and the apartment is immaculate. It was beautifully designed, every amenity desired was considered and the property is stunning. I cannot recommend the property enough. I look forward to returning soon!
