Welcome to 713 Quiet Hills Farm Road, a truly extraordinary and storied estate tucked into the highly sought-after Lake Hodges community, with timeless architecture, rich local history, and an unforgettable setting. Originally built in 1935 by renowned author Harold Bell Wright and later owned by Reuben H. Fleet, this remarkable single-level farmhouse estate is steeped in character and legacy while offering the comforts, design, and amenities today’s buyers crave. Thoughtfully and extensively remodeled in 2017, with additional enhancements to the woodworking in the carriage house and office completed in 2020, the property has been carefully curated to honor its heritage while elevating it for modern living.

Set behind a gated entrance and approached by a long, private, tree-lined driveway, the home immediately evokes a sense of arrival. The setting is serene, secluded, and deeply special—offering the feeling of a private countryside retreat while remaining just minutes from I-15, nearby dining, shopping, and everyday conveniences. Spanning approximately 4,448 square feet (plus the additional 400 square feet in the carriage house), the residence features 5 bedrooms and 4.5 baths, all thoughtfully arranged on a single level to create a layout that is both expansive and easy to live in. Throughout the home, classic farmhouse charm is paired with refined finishes and warm, inviting spaces designed for both entertaining and everyday comfort.

At the heart of the home is an exceptional chef’s kitchen that is as functional as it is beautiful. Designed to impress even the most discerning cook, it features two Thermador ovens, a six-burner professional Thermador range, Sub-Zero refrigerator/freezer, Bosch dishwasher, and KitchenAid wine refrigerator, all thoughtfully integrated into a space that serves as the true centerpiece of the home. The kitchen opens seamlessly into expansive living and gathering areas, creating an easy flow for entertaining. Large, light-filled rooms and carefully considered sightlines connect the interiors to the surrounding grounds, while indoor-outdoor living centers around a picturesque courtyard that feels both inviting and private.

This is a home built for gathering and making memories. Whether hosting dinner parties, poolside afternoons, holiday celebrations, or quiet evenings under the stars, the property offers a rare versatility that adapts beautifully to every occasion. The home’s warmth and scale are complemented by a thoughtful collection of amenities, including a temperature-controlled 120-bottle walk-in wine cellar and five historic cellars that nod to the property’s past while adding charm and functionality.

Outdoors, the estate unfolds into a setting that is both beautiful and incredibly usable. The resort-style saltwater pool creates a true retreat-like atmosphere, complemented by a gorgeous poolside cabana with an outdoor kitchen and dedicated entertaining space—perfect for effortless hosting and relaxed gatherings. The surrounding grounds have been designed with equal attention to form and function, with mature landscaping, curated gardens, and extensive improvements that create an environment that feels lush, peaceful, and private. The property embraces an eco-conscious lifestyle with owned solar for both the home and pool, energy-efficient systems, rainwater holding tanks for irrigation, and high-end synthetic turf featuring a custom wraparound mini-golf course—an unforgettable detail that adds a layer of fun and personality to the grounds.

Further adding to the uniqueness of the estate is the carriage house, now transformed into a character-rich entertaining space and bar. A spiral staircase leads to a 400-square-foot loft—once used as a hay loft and not included in the main square footage—offering flexible bonus space for guests, recreation, or creative use. The carriage house and office both benefited from enhanced woodworking completed in 2020, adding another layer of craftsmanship and detail.

Every corner of 713 Quiet Hills Farm Road reflects thoughtful stewardship and a genuine love for the property. It is a home that supports both large gatherings and everyday moments—morning coffee in the courtyard, afternoons in the garden or greenhouse, and evenings spent outdoors. From neighborhood parties and garden afternoons to greenhouse harvests and year-round fruit from the orchard, the lifestyle here is as rich as the setting itself. The surrounding Lake Hodges community only adds to the appeal, known for its quiet, serene landscapes and close-knit feel, where neighbors gather for holiday parties, pumpkin-growing contests, and more.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a historic home in one of North County’s most sought-after and special communities—where privacy, character, and connection come together in a way that is truly rare. Welcome home.
