Kokopelli's Hideaway - Julian

The property is situated in the midst of the Anza Borrego Desert State Park approx. 2400ft above sea level. At this elevation the magnificent pines of Julian give way to a High Chaparral landscape with native Junipers, Desert Willows and mixed with Agave, Cacti and Creosote Bush giving the abundant wildlife cover from heat and cold.

The Main Highway is the Great Overland Stage Route of 1849, from where a private drive takes you to a secluded cottage in Adobe Style and dedicated to the Native Indian Kokopelli figure, the flute player who brings luck, charm and mischief.

Julian, the Gold Mining Town, beckons to be explored just 20 minutes to the west, Borrego Springs, 20 minutes to the north east, offers the desert ambience with golf courses, club houses and restaurants. To the south you might try a dip in the Agua Caliente Hot Springs, or experience the freedom of soaring with a sailplane from Warner Springs Sail Plane Airport 25 minutes to the northwest.

For the R&R enthusiast there are many books to read, movies to watch, a private access to the Pacific Crest Hiking Trail and the Mountain in back of the property to be climbed.

After a cool swim in the pool you might enjoy the attached patio with a perfect view of the most magnificent sunsets, dipping the mountain ranges into the bluest blue of natures palette. It might even inspire you to bring your painting easel, camera or sketch pad and record these moments on paper or film.

If you are a private pilot you might try taking a picture of your plane, tied down next to the airstrip, bathed in the gold of the setting sun, you might even spot a coyote exploring its tires.

A quiet spot in the High Desert just under two hours from downtown San Diego and 3 1/2 hours from Los Angeles.

IMPORTANT: The pool temporarily not for use.
