Back on Market — 1.22 Acres with Log Cabin and Exceptional Estate Potential in Lakeside, 92040
Back on Market — No Fault of Property. Tucked away at the end of a private cul-de-sac in desirable Eucalyptus Hills, this rare 1.22-acre property offers a unique blend of rustic charm and future potential. Surrounded by larger, modern homes built in 2012 or later, this is the final opportunity to build on one of the most desirable lots in the area.
At the heart of the property sits an enchanting 3-bedroom log cabin filled with warmth and character. Step onto the inviting front porch and experience the charm of authentic log walls and a classic cast iron pot belly stove that create a cozy atmosphere perfect for country living.
Approximately eight years ago, the home received significant improvements, including a new roof, interior and exterior paint, updated flooring, and improved leach lines. The central A/C system was replaced in 2025, and the property includes 17 fully paid-off solar panels valued at approximately $27,000, providing long-term energy savings.
The true opportunity lies in the land. The upper portion of the property is ideally positioned for a custom estate home, while the existing log cabin could serve as an ADU, guest house, multi-generational living space, or income-producing rental.
