TLDR: Detached little California style indoor/outdoor house with your own private gated outdoor spaces/deck on Mt Helix situated on two acres of land. Think of this one of a kind detached cottage as an island of tranquility in the chaos of greater San Diego. You can be in the buzz of urban San Diego whenever you want, but...you get to come home, rest, recover and recharge in a bubble of peace vs being stuck with the urban activity when you don't want to be. At A Glance: * You can live in San Diego * Have easy access to the city and beach parts * Without the chaos, privacy, parking, crowing & noise issues of the beach or metro areas * Complete privacy & silence IN BEAUTIFUL NATURE * DUAL outdoor soaking tubs If you love San Diego, but are done with the noise and crowding, this is for you. What This Property Is: This detached cottage is completely unique for the San Diego rental market. This cottage is a part of a large 2 acre lot that includes a house, but is physically separate and private. This is a PRIVATE, tucked away, detached 2 Bed, 1 Bath cottage on Mt Helix with it's own stunning deck, COVERED patio spaces, dual soaking tubs and views, views, views. It sits on a two acre plot of land with no sightlines into the property from any neighbors. The two acres of land has been professionally landscaped with MATURE native plants and trees and is maintained by an eco-gardener. This is "Ultimate Southern California" - it is unique mix of indoor/outdoor living spaces with over 100K in landscaping. Yes, all beautiful older native plants adding harmonious energy and shade to the space! The shower and toilet are made from Cedar and accessed by a short path! The cottage itself is laid out with privacy in mind. Each bedroom and the office is it's own stand-alone unit. Lots of warm wood and natural materials on the inside. Restored mid-century gas oven/stove! This cottage has dedicated off street parking for two cars and is fully gated. MORE of What This Property Is: * Lots of nature * Indoor/outdoor * Your own cool cottage * Within 12 minutes to the Adams Ave neighborhoods or 20 min to the beaches * Quiet * Easy parking * Actually looks and feels REALLY cool in person * Living close to the land * Re-establishes your earth connection Interested?

Lease duration negotiable. 2 parking off street parking spaces come with the cottage. No smoking, no dogs of any kind. You can have a cat, but it should know how to handle itself outside in this area. This property comes with a gardener who handles all outdoor maintenance.

Water, gas and electric. Electric is cheaper in the summer as there is more solar power.
