Bring your vision to this beautiful view lot in Bonsall! The property overlooks the San Luis Rey Downs horse racing training center and the rolling hills around it. Natural features include a small pond, a seasonal stream, and native landscaping set among dramatic granite boulder fields. Because of the topography, the building pad is modest in size. It is ideal for a thoughtfully designed home that makes the most of the views. Key infrastructure is already in place: an electric meter, a water meter, and a septic system that was installed but never used and has been recently inspected. Nearby, the new Ocean Breeze community and a large community park now under construction add to the area’s appeal. The lot offers peaceful country living close to I-15, Highway 76, and North County amenities.

Rare opportunity to create a custom residence on an 8,080-square-foot vacant lot with bay and ocean views in desirable Bay Park! Believed to be one of the neighborhood's last remaining residential homesites never previously built upon, this approximately 59-by-137-foot parcel on Magdalene Way slopes westward, offering an intriguing canvas for a home designed around the natural grade. **PLEASE NOTE:** A recorded view easement benefiting the neighbor directly across the street establishes a sloping height plane, approximately 12 feet above the front sidewalk, with greater vertical clearance toward the lower western end of the lot. The survey indicates approximately 27 feet of clearance at the western property line, although this is not an approved building height. A stepped or split-level design may be worth exploring, subject to professional feasibility review and City approval. Enjoy proximity to Mission Bay, neighborhood dining, parks, and convenient freeway access. Buyer to independently verify zoning, utilities, legal access, setbacks, grading, the recorded easement, permitted building envelope, and all intended uses. House number is not yet assigned, but 1930 Magdalene Way is the approximate address. Bay Park is about as quintessential San Diego as it gets! Nestled in the hillsides overlooking Mission Bay, this desirable coastal neighborhood offers an exceptional combination of laid-back charm, established residential streets, refreshing ocean breezes, and convenient access to some of San Diego's most popular attractions. From many vantage points throughout the neighborhood, residents enjoy spectacular sunsets and even seasonal fireworks from nearby SeaWorld. Just down the hill lies the approximately 4,600-acre Mission Bay Park, offering sandy beaches, grassy picnic areas, miles of walking and biking paths, sailing, paddleboarding, jet skiing, and endless opportunities to enjoy the outdoors. Pacific Beach and Mission Beach are also just a short drive away. Bay Park has developed a vibrant local dining scene, with an appealing collection of neighborhood restaurants, coffee shops, craft breweries, and lively gathering spots along Morena Boulevard and Clairemont Drive. It's a community where neighborhood favorites and independently owned businesses contribute to its distinctive character. Convenience is another major attraction. Nearby I-5 and I-8 provide easy access throughout San Diego, while the Old Town Transit Center offers train and trolley connections. Downtown San Diego, La Jolla, Mission Valley, the University of San Diego, and San Diego International Airport are all within convenient reach. The neighborhood also offers access to educational options including Bay Park Elementary, St. Mary Magdalene School, Marston Middle School, Clairemont High School, and nearby San Diego Mesa College. With its eclectic mix of classic residences, custom-built homes, and contemporary architecture, Bay Park continues to evolve while maintaining the character that makes it so appealing. Opportunities to create a custom residence in an established coastal neighborhood like this are increasingly uncommon. Here's your chance to design a home tailored to your lifestyle while enjoying everything that makes Bay Park such a special place to live!
