44640 LA CUESTA, MURRIETA CA 92562

Welcome to your haven in the hills — a private, sun-soaked upper apartment nestled within a 40-acre off-grid homestead in Tenaja on the breathtaking Santa Rosa Plateau. Surrounded by ancient oaks, seasonal creeks, and panoramic views that stretch all the way to the ocean, this is a place to disconnect from the chaos and reconnect with nature, community, and purpose. Located just 25 minutes from the 15 Freeway, it offers the perfect balance of seclusion and access. The upper-level apartment features two bedrooms, one bath, a large private covered deck, an open-concept kitchen and living area, in-unit laundry, and a spacious bathroom with a walk-in shower. Large windows let in natural light and overlook the hills, creating a peaceful, airy retreat that feels worlds away. You will be sharing the land with a handful of like-minded adults living in the main house and guest quarters — a grounded, laid-back community working together to grow fruits and vegetables, raise farm animals, and live intentionally. Chickens, turkeys, a friendly pig, and four Maremma sheepdogs roam the property, while peacocks perch in the trees and deer often graze nearby. A large greenhouse and thriving orchards add to the magic of this truly special place. If you are ready for a slower, more soulful lifestyle — one rooted in land, rhythm, and community — this is your invitation. Let the quiet lead you home. Small $100 fee for all utilities, except Internet which is to be paid by tenant. Non smoking tenant preferred. Please do not disturb occupants or drive down the private driveway without an appointment.
