Attention Investors, Renovators & Visionaries! This is a rare opportunity to restore, renovate, or reimagine a piece of San Marcos history. Situated on approximately 0.25 acre per public records, this 858 sq. ft. home offers 2 bedrooms and 1 bath per public records, plus a bonus room with potential for use as a third bedroom, office, or flex space. Built in 1923 per appraisal (a County Assessor correction reflecting this date is in process). Due to its current condition, the property may not meet Conventional, FHA, or VA lending guidelines; a cash purchase is recommended. Sold in present, as-is condition. A standout feature is the three-story tank house, a rare surviving structure reflecting the agricultural roots of the historic Richland Valley. The interior was informally converted at some point with a kitchen on the ground floor, sleeping areas on the two levels above, and an attached bathroom added to the rear. This space does not appear to reflect permitted construction and should not be relied upon as habitable square footage; the structure shows significant wear and is being sold strictly as-is, with restoration potential for buyers looking to bring it back to code. Given the age and current condition of the structures, visitors are encouraged to exercise care while touring the property and to conduct a thorough inspection, including structural evaluation, prior to submitting an offer. The home predates the neighboring former Hollandia Dairy lands, portions of which are now home to Mission Hills High School and Hollandia Park a fascinating link between the property' Attention Investors, Renovators & Visionaries!

Located in Julian's Historic District, this 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom, 840 sq. ft. cottage offers an opportunity to own in one of San Diego County's most sought-after mountain communities. Just a short walk from Main Street, you'll enjoy easy access to local restaurants, shops, bakeries, museums, and the year-round events that make Julian a favorite destination. The home features a spacious kitchen with plenty of room for cooking, gathering, and entertaining, along with comfortable living spaces that make it equally suited as a full-time residence, weekend retreat, or investment property with short-term rental potential. The fenced yard is perfect for pets and children. A detached two-car garage is a rare and highly desirable feature for a home in downtown Julian, providing secure parking, generous storage, or workspace for hobbies and outdoor gear. Julian continues to attract visitors with its mountain setting, four-season climate, apple orchards, wineries, craft breweries, hiking trails, and small-town atmosphere. Properties within walking distance of downtown are limited, making this an exceptional opportunity to enjoy the lifestyle, history, and investment potential that have made Julian one of Southern California's most beloved mountain communities. Julian began as a mining town in the 1870s and has grown into one of California's best-preserved historic communities. Today, residents enjoy the character of a small mountain town while being only about an hour from San Diego. The Historic District features preserved Gold Rush-era buildings, locally owned restaurants, antique stores, art galleries, bakeries, and the community's famous apple pie shops. Outdoor recreation is available throughout the year. Hiking opportunities include Volcan Mountain Wilderness Preserve, William Heise County Park, the Santa Ysabel Open Space Preserve, and nearby Cuyamaca Rancho State Park. Lake Cuyamaca offers fishing, boating, birdwatching, and picnic areas, while the surrounding forests provide miles of trails for hiking, horseback riding, and mountain biking. Julian has also become a destination for wine tasting, hard cider, and craft beer, with several wineries, tasting rooms, and breweries located in and around town. During the fall harvest season, local apple orchards draw visitors for apple picking, fresh cider, baked goods, and family activities. Winter often brings snowfall, creating a mountain experience that is unique within San Diego County. The Julian Chamber of Commerce maintains a full calendar of community events, including Gold Rush Days, Music in the Park, the Julian Grape Stomp Festa, Country Christmas, holiday parades, farmers markets, art shows, and seasonal festivals that keep the town active throughout the year. Homes within walking distance of downtown rarely include a detached two-car garage, making this property especially appealing for full-time residents, second-home owners, or buyers seeking a property with income-producing potential through short-term rentals, subject to local regulations and permitting requirements. Whether your goal is to establish roots in Julian or own a mountain retreat in a town with enduring appeal, this property offers a combination of location, flexibility, and features that is increasingly difficult to find.
