Tucked into the rolling hills of Del Sur, Artesian Valley Farm is a rare 20.5-acre equestrian estate offering something virtually impossible to replicate in coastal San Diego: a fully operational ranch with submittal-ready luxury estate plans and significant improvements already completed.
This is not simply land.
It is a turnkey equestrian lifestyle with long-term upside.
Artesian Valley Farm currently operates as a pasture-boarding facility with capacity for up to 25+ horses across 10 well-maintained pastures—the only property within a 30-minute drive offering pasture boarding with free-feeding, a highly sought-after and scarce model in San Diego County.
Highlights include:
100' × 200' arena with GGT footing
60-foot round pen with sand base
Updated barn with enclosed stalls and expanded tack room
Permitted bathroom addition
600 sq ft maintenance shop
On-site trainer (operates independently). USDF Gold Medalist, trained under Steffen Peters.
Seasonal pasture overseeding & managed feeding program
The ranch is functional today—income-producing, usable, and thoughtfully maintained.
Included are complete, submittal-ready plans for a 5,506 sq ft modern estate residence featuring:
870 sq ft three-car garage
1,065 sq ft covered patio with pool design
Ability to expand to approximately 6,000–6,400+ sq ft
Estimated permitting timeline of ~1-3 months
Estimated build cost of ~$3.0M–$3.2M
The main house pad is graded and prepared, septic for the main residence is installed, and full architectural plans have been completed by Rick Somers Construction—representing years of entitlement and planning already completed.
The existing 1,504 sq ft guest house built in 2019 serves as the current residence and is fully custom finished, offering:
367 sq ft one-car garage
450 sq ft covered patio
24 solar panels (net-zero energy)
120 sq ft shed & chicken coop
30-tree orchard with multiple fruit varieties
Potential paths forward include:
Purchase and build independently
Build-to-suit with the existing team
Very few properties in 92127 offer this combination of:
True acreage
Operational equestrian infrastructure
Privacy
Submittal-ready luxury estate plans
Proximity to Del Sur schools and lifestyle amenities
Artesian Valley Farm is a generational opportunity to create a private estate compound—while enjoying immediate usability, income potential, and long-term value.
