San Diego Country Estates and 15.8 miles east of Ramona There were no reports of injuries or damage Residents of San Diego County were jolted by a 5.2 earthquake Monday North County Transit District reported at 10:48 a.m. that Coaster and Sprinter rail services are operating at reduced speeds and that riders should expect delays Lines serving Metrolink rail service between Oceanside and San Clemente are closed for track inspections with updates directed to Metrolink’s social media accounts The San Diego County Sheriff’s Office reported that it had not received any reports of damage or injuries as of 10:52 a.m Aftershocks ranging from magnitude 2.5 to 3.0 followed between 10:10 a.m. and 10:14 a.m. The USGS map showed a 3.5-magnitude quake occurred near Borrego Springs at 10:12 a.m I tend to chide myself for going back to the same handful of coastal neighborhoods time and again in my efforts to dig up Unreal fodder I go right on back to those towns for more entries (see our two most recent entries — in La Jolla and Del Mar) But the truth is that I do try to mix things up and find fancy houses in places where they’re not always expected We’ve been to Chula Vista a few times (and not just to the McMansions built over the last decade out east) and to deep East County enclaves like Descanso and Warner Springs We’ve even been near my decidedly “real” neighborhood in Southeast San Diego a 20,000-person exurb about 30 miles northeast of downtown both in town and in the equestrian-themed San Diego Country Estates development a few miles farther east including both million-dollar stock and structures originally erected as far back as 100 years ago then and cobbled onto in the ensuing decades But it’s after we get out of the town center and onto the multi-acre estates that make up the bulk of San Diego’s backcountry that things get interesting So, let’s head out to “Ballena Vista, a stunning 170-acre estate perched high upon the hillside” about six miles (and at least six wineries) east of the town center three-and-a-half bath estate with 5000 square feet of living space in the main mansion and five modular homes” spread across the property “for overnight guests and staff.” We start our tour with an aerial shot of the main house: an oversized Tuscan-style villa with wings branching off a circular main hall and tightly-manicured lawns flanking the back and sides of the house — except for the side with the pool An oak-lined private drive leads us in from the street and past a private pond surrounded by fenced pastures where the horses we’ll talk about later are presumably free to roam we see a few shots of the pool and grounds While not over-the-top luxurious in the fashion of some homes that attempt to ape resort-style pool decks with lots of green grass on which to entertain or simply lounge in the shade we’re greeted by an open foyer with a grand staircase curving around one side I like the interesting mix of wood and stone on the floor forming a sunburst pattern and what looks like twisted manzanita being used as the handrail balusters the living room has vaulted ceilings that stretch up to the second floor arched French doors lead us out to the pool deck — or we could head over to the billiards room for a different kind of pool game A round dining room offers seating for six and some pretty views across the valley (of which we presumably would own a large portion) The kitchen offers your typical luxury appointments including a commercial range and massive copper hood a refrigerator that blends into the cabinetry What’s unusual is the center island – is it made of sealed wood planks Next we see a bedroom with its own private balcony and a bath with a huge soaking tub that’s also afforded serene vistas of the nearby valleys and the Laguna foothills beyond This is all we get upstairs before jumping back down for another look at the billiards room an outdoor kitchen with fireplace and covered dining area and then an artist’s studio of sorts equipped with a sink and built-in desk bookshelves that — unlike those in so many staged photos of mansions we come across — are actually stocked with books That seems to be all we get of the main house before moving on to a brick structure that I assume is the primary guest house with exposed log beams in the ceiling and more logs framing a doorway from the living room to kitchen — though they do look more decorative than structural in nature Our next shot is an aerial view of a massive equestrian facility which includes both “a luxury eight-stall barn and a separate 38-stall barn.” I’m not sure what makes one of them more luxurious than the other There also seem to be shade structures built for each of a handful of corrals something I’m sure the horses appreciate on blazing summer afternoons We also see some of the 40 acres that have been planted with a variety of grapes — the listing tells us there’s plenty of room to expand the operation and even “convert existing structures into a first-rate winery.” we see that it’s covered in finished wood paneling from floor to ceiling I’m guessing that this is the “luxury” barn we bounce around through another handful of drone shots showing us more barns and what I assume are the rest of the guest casitas and the “expansive solar farm” that powers the property — including its seven wells which can produce and store nearly a half-million gallons of water (The listing tells us it’s the second-largest solar installation in the county.) More aerials follow Tthere’s even a handy map to point out different sectors of the grounds and their current uses there’s a quarter-mile race track for the horses Public records list a Cohn Family Trust based in La Jolla as the owners of Ballena Vista; it looks to have been at least 30 years since the property last changed hands The ranch has been listed on and off since 2021 at one point carrying an asking price as high as $26 million That makes the current listing at $17.5 million seem almost like a bargain Current owner: Cohn Trust | Listing price: $17,500,000 | Beds: 3+ | Baths: 4+ | House size: 5000+ sq ft Print A magnitude 3.5 earthquake was reported at 3:50 a.m Wednesday 22 miles from San Diego Country Estates The earthquake occurred 24 miles from Ramona 29 miles from La Quinta and 30 miles from San Diego there have been no earthquakes of magnitude 3.0 or greater centered nearby An average of 234 earthquakes with magnitudes between 3.0 and 4.0 occur per year in California and Nevada according to a recent three-year data sample The earthquake occurred at a depth of 4.0 miles.

Estates are reporting several incidents of property vandalism boat and truck have all been pelted with eggs property damage and trespassing," Holopainen wrote Other neighbors have noted recent bouts of vandalism on Ramona Patch's Facebook page toilet-papering and even shaving cream distributing One of the streets reportedly affected by the vandalism is Pappas Road Holopainen also noted a house hit by eggs at the corner of Pappas and Rainbird as well as the Jeremy's on the Hill catering truck a crime prevention specialist at the Ramona Sheriff's Substation said vandalism like this isn't the easiest crime to capture since the perpetrators are rarely caught in action "It's something that's really hard to stop," she said Wallace also encouraged recording descriptions of the suspects saying it was the best way to prevent this type of crime get a license plate number or a description of a car Use the camera on your phone or a security camera to get a good look at the vandalizers you're telling the [criminals] it's ok to do it," Wallace said noting it's usually people in the area committing the crime highly suggests getting rid of that egg as quickly as possible as the egg causes major damage to the car's paint noting that one egg once caused $3,000 worth of damage to her trailer Tanguay recommends taking a car to an auto specialist, like K2 Auto Detailing or since a professional can remove the egg without causing more damage to the car If you live in the Country Estates and have had a vehicle egged recently Tanguay also suggests starting an insurance claim Most full-coverage plans will cover damage like this Don't forget to report crime in your neighborhood to the Sheriff's Department at 760-789-9157 and there's some question whether he can survive.Though he is well it's crucial that his flock allow him to rejoin them They had rejected him while he bore the arrow that wounded him.San Diego Country Estates residents are being asked to watch him now that he's been released to ensure that Archer is accepted back into the wild.The arrow had been in the turkey's lower back with an exit wound on the other side Workers believe Archer made due for months
