Tuscan by Design.
Wine Country by Address.

Behind the private gates of Champagne Crest — 60 estate homes on 2-acre minimum lots in Fallbrook's Gird Valley — this 5,000-square-foot residence holds the end of the ridge at 500–700 feet of elevation, commanding 270° views across the Palomar Mountains, Bonsall Valley, and the distant Pacific. Adjacent, sharing the beautiful Gird Valley: Monserate Winery's 116-acre working vineyard, protected by a recorded conservation easement. The view you fall in love with today is the view you'll wake up to twenty years from now.

The Residence.

Built in 2004 with the detail of a commissioned custom home — cast-stone columns, dimensional travertine feature walls, coffered wood ceilings, and a curved iron-balustrade staircase framing the entry. The great room pairs a limestone fireplace with arched-window walls oriented straight down the valley. The kitchen works at scale — twin islands, a Bertazzoni professional range with griddle, built-in refrigeration, marble slab backsplash, and hand-carved cabinetry. Formal dining is anchored by a second limestone fireplace with hand-glazed tile inset, and the executive library — coffered ceiling, paneled built-ins — gives working from wine country a proper address.

The Cellar.

The estate's signature waits below: a stone-vaulted wine cellar with dry-stacked stone walls, barrel-vaulted ceiling, custom carved-wood racking, and an integrated tasting counter. Part collection, part destination — and in the shadow of a working vineyard, exactly where it belongs.

The Primary Wing.

The primary suite occupies its own floor. Two cast-stone fireplaces warm the wing — one in the sleeping chamber, one in the spa bath — and full-wall folding glass doors open directly to the pool deck. The bath itself: a jetted tub set in an arched alcove framing the valley, steam shower, dual hand-carved cabinetry towers, and a seated dressing station. Two additional bedrooms are each full ensuites with walk-in closets — one with a Spanish-tile bath, hand-painted inset, and stained-glass detail — and an upstairs billiards and game room opens to a deck with the eastern views.

The Grounds.

A multi-tiered flagstone water complex terraces down from the residence — west-facing infinity-edge lap pool with big views running to the coastline, separate elevated spa, and plunge pool, linked by stone-walled cascades. A fully covered stone pavilion with outdoor kitchen, bar, wood-burning fireplace, and chandelier-lit dining extends the living space into the landscape. A koi pond and waterfall greet you at the entry, and the acreage works for a living: an income-producing avocado grove, mature figs and fruit trees, and a greenhouse.

The Barn Studio.

A separately positioned finished barn houses a design studio with its own full bath, private well, and rooftop deck. Not a garage conversion — a legitimate second workspace, guest quarters, or creative retreat with independent infrastructure. The estate runs on fully owned solar with Tesla Powerwall whole-home battery backup.
