About 36485 Carney Rd
Experience a Lifestyle of Seclusion, Luxury, and Natural Beauty. Welcome to a truly extraordinary retreat nestled on over 8 acres in one of the most picturesque and private locations Southern California has to offer. Perched atop your own slice of mountain, this estate offers commanding, panoramic views that evolve with the seasons—cliffside horizons, rolling hills, and a peaceful valley stretching out below. Winding through the gated entrance, a private drive and stunning vistas set the tone for a lifestyle immersed in nature, yet remarkably convenient. Despite its seclusion, the property is just minutes from top-rated schools, wineries, beautiful golf courses, a private country club, and world-class casinos. You’re also just a short drive to Interstate 15, offering easy access to Temecula, San Diego, and beyond. The estate features a striking main residence estimated at 5,045 sq ft, complemented by a detached guest house of approximately 1,550 sq ft, and a separate casita with private bath and kitchenette. Perfect for entertaining, multi-generational living, or a family compound, the layout offers both privacy and connection across beautifully appointed spaces. The guest house is currently rented to two older professional tenants on a flexible month-to-month lease, offering optional income potential without commitment—use it as-is, or reclaim the space for personal use. Outdoors, enjoy a fully lit basketball/pickleball/sports court, solar-heated pool and spa with sunken bar, cantilevered deck, putting green, gas fire pit, and resort-style lighting throughout the property. Inside, luxury meets practicality with dual HVAC systems, tankless water heaters, a whole-house generator (main house), security system with cameras and fire/CO2 detection, a 240V car charger, and an ethernet-connected smart entry system at the gate. Every element of the home is thoughtfully designed—multiple walk-in closets, spacious bathrooms, and generous garage capacity including a porte cochère, carport, and an additional pad ready for an RV garage or workshop. Whether you’re soaking in the spa beneath the stars, walking the trails, or enjoying a sunset from your deck, this is a rare sanctuary where peace, privacy, and beauty converge.
