Three things you are buying

Wide expanse of level, cleared ground across the center of the parcel with the residence beyond.

The land

1.11 acres

Gated, on a ridge, and mostly graded and level already. $103 a square foot of dirt in a city that is effectively built out.

An existing residence above a graded yard planted with mature cactus.

The homes

2 standing

Two permitted residences, roughly 4,100 sq ft combined, built 1958. Occupied, and able to carry income from the day you close.

The entitlement

Up to 8 dwellings

The City has verified room for two more single-family homes plus as many as four ADUs — on top of the two already there.

Development capacity has been verified with the City of Solana Beach and is subject to applicable plans, permits and development requirements. Buyer to independently verify all development potential, zoning and permitting with the City prior to close.

Stone pillars, iron, and a private drive that puts the street behind you.

Gated entry
150-ft easement
Motor court

The ground

Most of the parcel is already open. Level, graded, cleared — the kind of ground that usually costs you a season of work and a hearing to get to.

A circular motor court sits at the center of it. A covered deck and a gazebo look east over the hills. The boundary is held by a wall on one side and a hundred and fifty feet of easement front and back, so the privacy is structural rather than landscaped.

And it is not bare dirt. Pine, eucalyptus, cypress and palm have had six decades here. Whatever gets drawn for this site inherits a canopy no new scheme can buy.

The site walls are overbuilt and, more usefully, they are yours: every one sits inside the property line under sole ownership, so there are no party-wall agreements to inherit and renegotiate.

Then it opens up.

Most of the parcel is graded, level and clear already.

What you can build

The City of Solana Beach has verified room for two more single-family homes and up to four ADUs, on top of the two already standing.

That is 8 dwellings on 1.11 gated acres, with no HOA and no design review between a drawing and a permit — subject, as always, to plans, permits and the City's requirements.

2 Homes standing today Permitted and occupied.
+2 More single-family homes On top of the two in place.
+4 ADUs As many as four.
8 Dwellings, possible $4.995M across 8 doors.

What you could do with it

Rare is easy to say. What makes this one unusual is how many different buyers it works for.

Two permitted homes on one gated acre suit an owner-user as readily as a developer — and the entitlement sits there either way, whether you act on it in year one or year five.

01 Own one, rent the other Live in one home and keep the second earning from the day you close.
02 A family compound Two households on one gated acre now, with room to add more later.
03 Expand what is standing Take the existing homes further rather than starting over.
04 Build the additional homes Two more single-family dwellings and up to four ADUs, subject to permits.
05 Hold and let Run both homes as rentals while the entitlement work goes on around them.

Pine, eucalyptus and palm — sixty years in, and not something you can buy new.

No HOA, ever

The two homes

The finishes are 1958. The systems are not.

Two houses stand on the parcel, about 4,100 sq ft between them across 5 bedrooms and 4 baths. They are lived in and they look it, and the photographs here are a condition record rather than lifestyle — you are better served by an accurate picture than a flattering one.

But dated finishes and worn-out mechanicals are different problems, and only the first one applies. Both water heaters went in this year. The windows are dual-pane low-E and tinted under warranty. Both homes carry solar on a net-metering agreement written before the current rates. Whoever buys this is not replacing plant in year one, whether they move into one house, rent both through entitlement, or house a project team.

Solar on both homes: Installed under SDG&E net-metering terms that predate the current time-of-use rates. The seller reports it zeroes out the electricity. Confirm the remaining term of the net-metering agreement, and whether it transfers on sale, directly with SDG&E.
Heating and cooling: 763 has three split-system air conditioners, about a year old. 759 has a newer Energy Star furnace, professionally installed in the attic last year, and is not air conditioned.
Windows: Dual-pane low-E throughout 759 and in roughly 95% of 763. Every window in both homes is professionally tinted, with a lifetime warranty on the film.
Water heaters: Both replaced this year.
Whole-house water filtration: Waterboy tanks in both homes, installed within the last two years, with filter media rated for at least fifteen.

Condition and systems above are as reported by the seller, September 2026, and have not been independently verified. Buyer to confirm through inspection.

A 3D walkthrough and a video tour of both homes are available on request. Both show the houses as they are now, occupied.

Aerial view north across the neighborhood to San Elijo Lagoon, the coast highway and the Pacific beyond.

And the water is right there.

Whitewater from corner to corner of the property — and from the living room of one of the homes. San Elijo Lagoon below, Cardiff past it, the Pacific behind that.

The area

The lagoon is the near view. The ocean is the one behind it.

San Elijo Lagoon Ecological Reserve starts about a mile down the hill — protected wetland with boardwalk and trail, which means the view across it stays the view across it. Past the reserve, the 101 runs to Cardiff State Beach and the reef break. South, Fletcher Cove is Solana Beach's own stretch of sand, with Cedros a few minutes inland.

Cedros Design District 2 mi Design showrooms, the Belly Up, the Sunday market.
