What you'll love
Space, privacy, and flexibility are rare in San Diego County. This home offers all three.
Usable acreage and room to roam
1.5 acres gives you space for animals, gardens, play, or a workshop, with a level of privacy most San Diego neighborhoods can't match.
4-stall horse barn and chicken coop
Bring your horses and enjoy Alpine's equestrian lifestyle. The horse barn features 4 stalls and a covered center aisle, and there's a separate workshop. A fenced small-animal pen and a chicken coop round out the setup, and there's open, level land ready for your own corrals or riding arena.
Single-story living with a wraparound deck
An easy, one-story layout with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, wrapped by a deck with beautiful mountain views for morning coffee and sunset evenings. Part of the deck sits under a pergola strung with lights, with the spa just steps away.
Flat, open land for a future build
A large, flat, open area is ready for your plans: a future build, workshop, guest house, or ADU for multigenerational living or rental income. Buyer to verify with San Diego County.
Private pool and detached pool house
Your own backyard retreat for summer days and entertaining: a 10-ft-deep Pebble Sheen pool, a spa, and a detached pool house steps from the water. The pool house has its own lounge, a half bath, and mini-split heating and cooling, ideal for guests, a game room, or a home office.
Updated, move-in ready interior
Recently painted and upgraded throughout. The large, bright, rustic living room is anchored by a stacked-stone fireplace, and French doors open to the wraparound deck. The bright, open kitchen overlooks the main living area and features a farmhouse sink with views of the yard and surrounding mountains. The primary bedroom features an expansive walk-in closet, and the hallway bathroom showcases a beautiful custom tile design. Wood-look plank flooring, recessed lighting, an indoor laundry room, and ductless mini-splits throughout add everyday comfort. Solar panels are paid off and owned free and clear.
Large outbuilding with workshop potential
A large building on the right side of the property is currently used for storage and has great potential as a workshop or bonus space. Buyer to verify permits and allowed uses with San Diego County.

Two rare ways to buy this home
This home comes with an assumable 2.625% VA loan, and it's also USDA-eligible with 0% down possible. Very few San Diego County homes offer either one.
Assumable VA loan at 2.625%
- Take over the seller's existing VA loan and keep its 2.625% fixed rate.
- Available to eligible veterans. The buyer will need a VA Certificate of Eligibility (COE) to assume the loan.
- Assumption is subject to approval by the loan servicer and the VA.
- Cover the difference between the price and the loan balance with cash or a second loan.
What to know
You qualify with the loan's current servicer, much like a regular loan approval, using your VA Certificate of Eligibility.
The loan balance and assumption details are shared with serious buyers on request.
Request the assumption detailsOr buy with 0% down through USDA
- No down payment required, and gift funds are allowed with no limit.
- 30-year fixed rate from an approved USDA lender.
- Not limited to first-time buyers.
- Based on appraised value, so some closing costs may be included in the loan.
Who qualifies
You'll need to live in the home as your primary residence and stay under the San Diego County household income limit, which depends on household size.
Not sure if you fit? Check income limits on the USDA eligibility site, or ask a USDA-approved lender.
Estimate your monthly payment
Compare assuming the 2.625% VA loan with USDA, VA, FHA, and conventional options for this home. Adjust the numbers to match your situation.
Request the current loan balance and years remaining using the property packet form below. The second loan rate is a sample figure.
Sample rates reflect the Mortgage News Daily national index as of September 29, 2026: 30-year fixed 7.58%, FHA 7.24%, VA 7.25%. USDA uses the FHA figure as an estimate, and insurance is a sample figure. Your actual rate will vary.

| Property taxes | $0 |
| Home insurance | $0 |
| Mortgage insurance / fees | $0 |

Life in Alpine
Alpine has a vibe all its own. About 30 miles east of downtown San Diego in the foothills of the Cuyamaca Mountains, it's a mostly rural community with upscale ranch properties, a small-town feel, and wide-open space.

Commute and access
Convenient I-8 access at Tavern Road connects you west to El Cajon, La Mesa, and the rest of San Diego. San Diego International Airport is about 32 miles away.
Outdoors and scenery
Alpine sits in the foothills of the Cuyamaca Mountains, with forested hillsides, valleys, and canyons to explore and the Cleveland National Forest close by. It's often called the gateway to San Diego's mountains.

Common questions
Can't find your answer? Ask Alex directly.
Who can assume the VA loan?
The loan is available to eligible veterans. Buyers will need a VA Certificate of Eligibility (COE) and must qualify with the loan servicer. Assumption is subject to approval by the servicer and the VA.
How does the equity gap work on an assumption?
When you assume the loan, you take over its remaining balance at 2.625%. The difference between the purchase price and that balance is the equity gap, which you can cover with cash, a second loan, or a mix of both. Try the payment calculator above with "Assume the seller's VA loan" selected.
Is this home really eligible for a USDA loan?
Yes, the property is in a USDA-eligible area. Buyers still need to meet USDA's household income limits and credit guidelines. Check income limits on the USDA eligibility site.
What are the USDA income limits?
Limits are set by county and household size, and they're updated periodically. Check the current limits on the USDA eligibility site, or ask a USDA-approved lender to confirm where you stand.
Can I keep horses here?
Yes. The property has a 4-stall horse barn, an open turnout area ready for your own corrals or arena, a small-animal pen, and a chicken coop. The property is zoned A70 with an "L" animal designator, which permits horsekeeping. Animal counts and enclosure setbacks follow San Diego County rules. Buyer to verify with San Diego County.
Can I build an ADU?
There's a large, flat, open area on the lot well suited to a future build. The zoning allows one single detached home per lot, and ADUs are subject to San Diego County and state rules, septic capacity, setbacks, and site conditions. Buyer to verify with the county.
Is there RV parking?
Yes. The property has ample parking for many vehicles, plus room for RVs, toy haulers, and horse trailers.
Is the solar owned or leased?
The solar is owned outright, so there's no lease to take over and no monthly solar payment. That also keeps financing simpler, since there's no solar contract to review or transfer.
What about home insurance?
We recommend getting insurance quotes early for any Alpine property. Alex can connect you with local insurance agents.
When are the open houses?
Open house dates will be posted here soon. Prefer a private tour? Schedule one here.
