Perched on a private hilltop in Escondido, this house looks out over Orfila Winery and the Vineyard Golf Course – a view worth lingering over, especially from the outdoor fireplace at dusk. With plenty of space to spread across, larger groups and celebrations have real room to breathe, and there's no shortage of ways to fill the time: a private pool and hot tub, a dedicated fitness centre, a movie theatre, and a games room mean you rarely need to venture off the estate. It's a self-contained retreat that earns its keep.
