7438 Kickin Horse Julian , CA 92036

Nestled on a flat, fully fenced 1-acre lot in peaceful Shelter Valley, this beautifully reimagined home offers the perfect balance of privacy, comfort, and adventure. Don't let the original build year fool you—over $138,000 in recent capital improvements have transformed this property inside and out. Major improvements include a fully rewired electrical system with a new electrical panel, updated plumbing, a new pump house with new pumps for the existing water storage tank, waterproof vinyl plank flooring, fresh interior paint, and a newly fenced perimeter. Inside, warm wood-paneled walls and vaulted ceilings create the inviting feel of a mountain retreat. The open-concept design features updated countertops, a farmhouse sink, and a custom wet bar. Both bathrooms have been remodeled with walk-in tiled showers, pebble-stone flooring, built-in benches, and updated vanities. Outside, enjoy the freshly stained wood deck, drywall-prepped workshop, separate laundry building, motion-sensor lighting, and a flat, usable acre with room for RVs, off-road vehicles, outdoor entertaining, gardening, and stargazing. Just 20 minutes from downtown Julian, enjoy charming shops, local restaurants, wineries, and seasonal winter snow. Within easy reach, Borrego Springs and Anza-Borrego Desert State Park offer endless hiking, off-roading, wildflower blooms, and breathtaking desert scenery. With the local general store and campground just one mile away, this is the perfect home base for year-round adventure or peaceful desert living.
