Modern Château - Lap Pool, Weddings, Wine & Beach

A luxury modern chateau blending French architecture and California dreaming. Set on 4 private acres with mountain, valley and vineyard views, our estate features a free heated half-Olympic saltwater pool, hot spa, and gourmet kitchen. Designed for intimate weddings, wine weekends, milestone celebrations, and multigenerational retreats. Up to 15 overnight and 60 daytime guests. 20 minutes to Temecula wine country, 30 to Oceanside beaches. Easy day trips to Legoland, La Jolla and San Diego.

========

Pick fresh citrus from the orchard for your morning juice. Practice yoga in our expansive living room with panoramic views of the De Luz mountains. Lounge in the sun by our sparkling pool, surrounded by palms and plumeria. Step out your door onto the Santa Margarita River Trail, with blooming wildflowers, shaded riverbanks and hidden truffles. Toast marshmallows in the backyard chiminea as the sun sets.

Fallbrook is one of Southern California’s last rural enclaves. Secluded and stunning, yet still close to everything -- wine tours, beach days, hiking, golf and pickleball, or a trip to the city.

WHAT TO EXPECT

This is a large luxury home in the countryside, built in 1987 and renovated in 2022. We maintain it lovingly, but it's not a brand-new home or a hotel.

• Rural living: You'll see occasional bugs (earwigs, ants), wildlife (coyotes, gophers). We have regular pest service
• Our pool heat policies are firm. Winter pool temperature of 75°F is swimmable and pleasant, but additional heat at $40/°F must be covered by guests and requested in advance.
• Pool service is twice a week, but there will occasionally be windblown debris or pollen in between service. We invite guests to skim the pool themselves if needed.
• Our limit of 15 guests overnight is firm. Our home and septic system are not designed to exceed that.
• Events: We love weddings and celebrations, but limit to 60 guests / 12 cars due to parking and fire safety.
• Noise monitoring: We have outdoor sensors to protect neighbors. Loud parties or outdoor music without permission will result in removal.

WHO THIS IS FOR:

+ Wine lovers escaping the crowds
+ Intimate weddings, bridal prep & rehearsals
+ Upscale bachelor & bachelorette parties
+ Families with kids who love to swim and explore, quinceañeras & milestone celebrations
+ Military reunions & retreats
+ Travelers valuing architecture and privacy over suburbia and tourist traps

WHO THIS ISN'T FOR:

x Large parties or noisy ragers
x Anyone expecting an 85°F pool without advance planning and expense (in winter)
x Those uncomfortable with rural living (bugs, wildlife, occasional maintenance issues)
x Groups expecting hotel-level service (no daily housekeeping, no front desk, twice-weekly pool service)
