San Marcos Home Sale

Situated on nearly 10 acres in the sought-after Coronado Hills of San Marcos, this custom 3,893 sq ft Spanish-style estate offers sweeping 270-degree views—from the Pacific Ocean to snow-capped mountains. With a dramatic architectural presence, the home features a wraparound staircase, atrium-style courtyard, three fireplaces, and multiple balconies designed to capture sunrise and sunset vistas. The floor plan is expansive and well thought out, including a private master retreat on the west wing, a guest suite with full bath on the east wing, and a generous office or flex space. The gourmet-style kitchen with dual stoves and the circular foyer offer excellent potential for personalization. While the home has been well cared for, much of it remains in original condition, providing an opportunity for the next owner to update and enhance to their own taste. The pricing reflects the home’s current state and the value of the land, views, and architectural potential. This property offers a rare combination of size, setting, and privacy—just minutes from Cal State San Marcos and the rapidly developing North City corridor. For buyers seeking space, views, and long-term upside, this estate presents an exceptional opportunity. Welcome to 859 Cocos Way, a rare hillside estate perched atop the prestigious Coronado Hills of San Marcos, California. Set on nearly 10 private acres, this Spanish-inspired retreat offers an unmatched combination of space, privacy, and breathtaking natural beauty. Step inside to experience almost 4,000 square feet of elegant living space with a layout designed to capture the stunning surroundings. Enjoy 270-degree panoramic views stretching from the Pacific Ocean to the snow-capped mountains—including sweeping vistas of Carlsbad, Oceanside, San Marcos, and Escondido. Here, you’ll catch both sunrises and sunsets, with ocean breezes flowing through nearly every room. This home is a true sanctuary with wrap-around decks, balconies from every bedroom, and expansive outdoor living spaces that bring the view to life. The atrium-style courtyard and circular foyer create a dramatic entrance, while the wrap-around staircase adds a touch of timeless elegance. At the heart of the home is the living room, a striking central space anchored by a semi-circular wall of windows framing endless views and one of three fireplaces found throughout the residence. The gourmet kitchen features dual stoves, a walk-in pantry, and thoughtful design details perfect for entertaining. The floorplan offers 4 bedrooms, with 3 upstairs and the master retreat privately located in the west wing, complete with its own fireplace and private balcony. On the east wing, you’ll find a guest suite with a full bath, ideal for multi-generational living or long-term guests. A massive home office provides ample space for remote work or creative pursuits. Additional features include a 3-car garage, potential to expand or build, and proximity to Cal State San Marcos, the exciting new North City development, and top-tier schools. Why settle for a tract home when you can own a Spanish castle in the sky, where every room offers a front-row seat to Southern California’s natural beauty?
