About this home
Perched atop more than an acre in the coveted hills of Lake San Marcos, 1561 La Plaza Drive is a truly rare offering where exceptional design, timeless craftsmanship, and breathtaking panoramic views come together. Overlooking Lake San Marcos and the surrounding mountains, this extensively reimagined estate offers remarkable privacy while remaining just minutes from golf, dining, restaurants, shopping, and the lake. Filled with natural light, the home lives primarily as a single-level residence with soaring ceilings, an open-concept floor plan, and expansive living spaces designed to showcase the spectacular views from nearly every room. Every detail reflects an uncompromising commitment to quality, from the Italian stone finishes to the custom Western windows and doors, highlighted by a dramatic pivot entry door. The chef's kitchen features top-of-the-line JennAir appliances and opens seamlessly to the main living areas. The expansive primary suite offers a sitting area, spa-inspired bath, and walk-in closet. Configured originally as three bedrooms, the home also includes multiple bonus spaces ideal for a guest retreat, home office, fitness studio, game room, or abundant storage. Designed for comfort, efficiency, and wellness, the home features owned solar, a brand-new HVAC system, a Waterdrop X12 reverse osmosis system, and a Super V whole-house air filtration system. The grounds are equally impressive, with approximately 150 mature trees and specimen plantings—including avocado, citrus, macadamia, cherimoya, magnolias, and more—creating a private botanical sanctuary. A three-car garage and permits to build an ADU where one previously existed (buyer to verify) provide outstanding flexibility and future potential. Offering an exceptional combination of design, construction quality, privacy, square footage, and panoramic views, 1561 La Plaza Drive represents an extraordinary value and a one-of-a-kind opportunity....
