Escape to a resort-like, ocean-view home, located less than a mile from the coast in the heart of Olde Carlsbad. The original house is a 1933 adobe and has undergone extensive, custom renovations from a renowned, local builder to create an easy-living coastal getaway. A private, gated entrance offers privacy and welcomes you to a house of rich leather, deep wooden accents, musical influences, and a splash of outlaw country. Cook and host meals in a fully equipped kitchen or the custom, outdoor BBQ kitchen with outdoor seating, TV, and speakers. After a day at the beach and shopping, you can enjoy your evening drinks next to the outdoor fire pit and relax in the saltwater Infinity Edge pool and spa. Rest on the plush bedding and mattresses fit for a five-star resort and wake up to the morning birds chirping and the sun rising over the mountains. The Highland House will leave you relaxed, rejuvenated, and waiting to plan your next adventure in Carlsbad.
