The Community

A Hidden Gem in San Diego's Backcountry

Nestled in the rolling, boulder-specked hills just south of Ramona, San Diego Country Estates is unlike anywhere else in San Diego County. Envisioned in the early 1970s by developers who dreamed of a true country-club lifestyle outside the city, SDCE has grown into a vibrant master-planned community of more than 3,500 homes, all while keeping its small-town charm.

Here, residents drive golf carts along the streets in the daytime, walk or bike more than 20 miles of community paths without crossing the same route twice, and wave to neighbors they actually know. Residents of the Country Estates enjoy multiple restaurants, two pools, a Ted Robinson-designed 18 hole golf course, tennis and pickleball courts, 4 parks, a convenience store, hardware store, Gathering Grounds Espresso Bar and Coffee Shop, Luxury Day Spa, and the list goes on and on. The road winding into the Estates curves past dozens of wineries and boulder-strewn hills that remind you that this back country community is something genuinely unique and special.
