Set in the palm-lined hills of Poway, this estate feels a world away from the everyday. Towering palms shade a pool with a waterfall, a tennis court, and sweeping lawns, while a glass greenhouse and a fish pond add unexpected charm to the grounds. Inside, the living room opens to lush garden views, and one bedroom lined with floor-to-ceiling books makes for an unusually good night's reading. A private gym, sauna, and guesthouse round things out for groups who want both company and space, with San Diego's chaparral hiking trails waiting just beyond the gate.

Home truths
The accommodation here is set across the main house, which has four bedrooms, and a one-bedroom guest house that also has a sofa bed. At full occupancy, two people will sleep on this sofa bed.
One of the bedrooms has a double-over-double bunk bed that can sleep up to four people.
There's an unfenced pond in the garden here. If you're bringing little ones, they'll need to be supervised at all times.
You're in the hills of Poway, where a car is essential – local shops, dining, and grocery stores are a short drive away, and San Diego International Airport is around forty minutes from the villa.
