WELCOME
Welcome to 2989 Lone Jack Road, a beautiful family-style residence in olde Olivenhain.  A few bucolic miles from the vibrant North County coastline lies a stately and private lane, recessed from the road, and framed by mature Eucalyptus, Broadleaf, and Palm trees.  Entering this expansive scene evokes senses of serenity and charm.
 

HOME & STYLE
This home embodies a graceful, inviting style where rustic warmth meets refined elegance.  A large, handcrafted, wooden door with rich hues and iron hardware accents, welcomes guests to a house that feels like home.  The decor balances contemporary comfort with timeless sophistication, highlighted by neutral tones, plush furnishings, and thoughtfully curated details—like a stacked-stone fireplace, wrought-iron railings, and custom built-ins.  Custom wide-plank walnut flooring with striking grain patterns and natural knots are fitted with distinctive bowtie joints that highlight skilled craftsmanship, and blend structural function with artisanal form.

Overall, this home exudes a relaxed yet upscale ambiance, harmonizing indoor-outdoor living with gracious ease and style.  Comfortable proportions, flowing yet defined spaces, clean lines, tasteful design, and caring stewardship all conspire to just feel good.
 

FLOOR PLAN
Bright, airy spaces and exposed beam ceilings flow seamlessly from an open gourmet kitchen, which is the soul of the home.  Large windows, and three sets of oversized French doors bridge indoor-outdoor functionality with a south-facing resort-style backyard.  

Designed for serious entertainment, the kitchen features a spacious center island equipped with Viking gas cooktop, and double Thermador ovens, Bosch dishwasher, KitchenAid refrigerator, Panasonic microwave, and a huge walk-in pantry.

VIEWS
Virtually every room in this home offers stunning views, stretching past covered trellis dining areas and gently sloped terrain, reaching all the way to the estuary and beyond.  Backdropping a refined Mediterranean influence, these majestic views become a literal extension of the living experience.
 

BACKYARD
If you have been looking for a fantastic backyard, aligned with the long side of an indoor-outdoor home, then you will want to see this one.  Three huge French doors open onto a spectacular, south-facing, resort-style experience.  Amazing by day, awesome at night.  As the sun sets, the yard becomes even more alive, illuminating a summerlike glow, and offering options to kick parties into the next gear or sink deeper into relaxation.

Al fresco dining, Zen garden waterfall, firewood shed, lounging areas (both open and covered), stone fire pit (both gas and woodburning), putting green, outdoor kitchen, picnic area, and an expansive concrete deck all surround a huge, kidney-shaped, sparkling, saltwater pool.  Accompanying the pool is an in-ground spa, raised a bit higher for architectural relief, form, and function.  The outdoor kitchen comes equipped with gas grille, a Big Green Egg ceramic oven, mini-refrigerator, and sink.  New grass area, topped up decomposed granite, and beautiful landscaping have all been recently refreshed.

Framing this entire scene, is a lush mature landscape with tall, picturesque trees standing sentry over the estuary. Beyond the fence to the south of the pool lies another expansive section of the lot, featuring an ADU, utility barn, and raised solar power installation.  Beyond the last fence, the subject property continues even further, overlapping quite a distance into the estuary.  This estuary section can be enjoyed with gentle use as a steward of the land.
 

ADU
Built on a raised stone platform, the ADU is a quaint studio cottage with high ceilings, loads of windows, and oversized French doors and sliders fitted on the south and west sides.  It has a comfortably sized area for a bed, sitting area, and closet, along with a kitchen and bathroom.  The windows, doors, and expansive private yard make it “live larger” than its size suggests.  Currently rented for $3,000/mo with a lease expiring in June.  Permits unknown.

BARN
The utility barn is a large, tall outbuilding enclosed on three sides and open to the west.  Use cases may include an endless list of ideas, like double horse stalls and tac storage, maker space center, mechanical shed, live theatre, surf shaping area, storage facility, etc.
 

UPPER LOT
On the northern side of the lot (i.e. “front yard”), the home is intentionally set back from the public road for aesthetics, attenuation, and privacy.  So, a lot of land remains for various use cases.  The top of the lot features fenced utility parking, which could alternatively serve as an organic garden area.  Lots of optionality here, with ample room to expand.
 

EQUESTRIAN
Zoned for horses, agriculture, and natural habitat, this property borders one of California’s largest estuaries with direct access to miles of wild horse trails that connect Elfin Forest to the Pacific Ocean.  Walking distance to both Cavallina Farms Riding School and Little Oaks Equestrian Park, you can move here, saddle up, and trot straight out to Escondido Creek, Rancho Santa Fe trails, San Elijo Lagoon Ecological Reserve, Annie’s Canyon, and Harmony Grove Overlook.
 

OLIVENHAIN
Perfectly located for serenity without sacrificing accessibility, the property is within a half-mile of excellent schools and essential services.  Closest to Rancho Santa Fe Plaza, and roughly equidistant from Carlsbad Forum and La Costa Towne Square, loads of staples and amenities are a short drive away.  

Moonlight Beach, Downtown Encinitas, Cardiff Towne Centre, and Cedros Design District are just four miles away, combining the best of rural living and coastal culture.  Move here, and instantly plug into award-winning schools, world-class surf, great restaurants, farmers’ markets, shops, galleries, parks, trails, train stations, freeway access, and everything North County has to offer.

No HOA
 

DISCLAIMER
All information provided is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed, and should be independently verified before removing contingencies.  Public records show 4 bedrooms, but there is also an office with its own closet and direct hall bathroom access, and there is also another small bonus room off the laundry room (currently used as a media room).  ADU permits are unknown.  Solar system lease (not owned) can be assumed at ~$250/mo or bought out for ~$32,000.  Solar is permitted, but the City later claimed the raised installation covers a City sewer easement.  Owner showed City the permit, and City acknowledged that solar may stay, but if sewer requires maintenance, then Owner may incur related expenses.
