Surrounded by acres of tranquil countryside in Escondido, Birdsong Ranch unfolds across two parcels with gentle contours and a working agricultural setup. Organic Eureka lemon trees anchor the landscape, with additional lemon trees planted in 2022 to expand operations. Water infrastructure is already in place, including two functional wells and a 30,000-gallon tank storage system to support the farm. Tucked away on the property, a single-family home is currently rented at $2,500 per month, offering an existing foothold for those who value privacy and a quieter rhythm. The option to build an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) adds flexibility, with potential for Airbnb rental income. Despite its calm setting, the ranch sits near shopping, dining, golf courses, Pala Casino, and is about 30 minutes from Oceanside Beach, with access to I-15 and Highway 76.
