Forty acres of evergreen forest inside the gated Cuyamaca Forest community, with northeast-facing views and terrain that changes as you climb. The land starts as gently sloped, tree-covered ground that suits a home site, then steepens as it rises to an elevation of 5,437 feet.

It's a simple drive on paved roads within the gated community, and utility power is nearby, so bringing your vision to life is that much more within reach. Out here, the only soundtrack is wind moving through the pines, birdsong at sunrise, and the crunch of your own footsteps on a forest trail. Wake up to soft morning light filtering through the cedars, spend the afternoon wandering your own private woodland, and end the day beneath a sky so full of stars it stops you mid-sentence. This is land that slows your pulse and clears your head, a place to unplug from the noise and reconnect with the quiet rhythms of the mountains, the seasons, and each other. Zoning, The parcel is zoned S92, the county's General Rural designation, which allows residential and agricultural use on rugged, forested land.

Shelter Valley is a unique small community on the west side of Anza Borrego State Park in San Diego Co. It's about a 1.5 hour drive from San Diego, 15 miles from Julian. It's a high desert retreat from the city closer and cooler than Borrego Springs. Shelter Valley is surrounded by Anza Borrego State Park so no further growth is possible. It can also be reached coming from the San Bernardino area off Hwy 15 through Warner Springs, up from Ocotillo Wells on Hwy 8 or through Cuyamaca State Park or up from Ramona. It is a high desert environment though in centuries past was more habitable as shown by Indian relics found in the area. The ecology is dominated by cactus and open chaparral. Anza Borrego wildflowers in the spring are sensational. The old Butterfield Stage Coach route passed through Shelter Valley on the leg between Yuma and San Bernardino. John Butterfield Co. ran the overland trail from St. Louis, Missouri to San Francisco from 1857 to 1861. Afterwards local stage companies and the Wells Fargo Co used the old trail. At Scissors Crossing the S-2 Hwy doglegs around San Felipe Creek near where the adobe building that once was the San Felipe Station stood. Only a historical monument now marks this spot. The San Felipe Station was between the Vallecito Station 18 mile 'SE' and the Warner Ranch Station 16miles 'NW'. There are a few lost treasure stories associated with this route.
