Solitude in the hills with convenience to Interstate 15

The secluded Santa Rosa Plateau is 2,000 feet high in the hills overlooking Temecula and Murrieta valleys. The neighborhood offers tranquility in its secluded setting, yet the convenience of a quick drive down the mountain ensures access to everyday necessities, harmonizing the best of both worlds. The unique location of the Santa Rosa Plateau allows residents to feel peace and solitude without sacrificing convenience. Homebuyers looking for privacy and the option of socializing might enjoy the atmosphere of this neighborhood.

Custom homes on acres of land

Santa Rosa Plateau prioritizes open-space living, as homes have a 5-acre minimum and are all custom-designed. While single-story homes remain the most popular, the large areas of land allow residents room to spread out and build. Many homes are ranch-style and have barns and ponds in the backyard. Most homes fall between $1.1 million and $4.5 million. With no streetlights, high-density housing or through traffic, residents can enjoy a secluded neighborhood with manicured properties and unobstructed views of nature.

Outdoor enthusiasts visit Cleveland National Forest and Santa Rosa Plateau Ecological Preserve

There are two significant parks in the neighborhood that residents can use. The Cleveland National Forest is one border of the neighborhood, spanning 400,000 acres (about half the area of Yosemite National Park) of trees and wildlife. The Santa Rosa Plateau Ecological Preserve has public recreational trails and vernal pools, which are seasonal wetlands with endangered species, such as the fairy shrimp. Kelly Smith, local Realtor with Allison James Estates & Homes says, “You can see the whole cycle of wildlife here,” which attracts outdoor enthusiasts from around the area.

Shopping in Temecula

Santa Rosa Plateau residents can get a rural neighborhood feel while also being only 8 miles from the freeway. Residents can do their grocery and retail shopping in the wine-country town of Temecula about 9 miles away, with stores such as Albertsons and Target. The Temecula Valley Hospital is also in this area, providing residents with specialty services in their heart and neuroscience divisions.

Annual Cowboy Jubilee supports The Nature Education Foundation

With around 1,300 properties in the neighborhood, residents go out of their way to connect despite the secluded neighborhood structure. Smith says, “You have privacy, but you can always reach out to your neighbors. We take care of each other and keep each other safe.” The Santa Rosa Plateau community prioritizes philanthropy, most notably through The Nature Education Foundation, which strives to educate youth about nature. The foundation brings children from surrounding cities up to the hiking areas and empowers them to be proactive toward nature preservation. The community also holds the annual Cowboy Jubilee, a large, upscale cowboy-themed party with live music and an auction to raise money for the foundation. The Fourth of July parade features various animals, including mini donkeys and horses, dressed in red, white and blue. Residents host a monthly Ladies' Luncheon, where 40 to 60 women meet for a potluck.
