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. The road winding into the Estates curves past wineries and boulder-strewn hills that remind you this is something genuinely special.

Looking for San Diego Country Estates homes for sale? As a dedicated SDCE real estate specialist in Ramona, CA 92065, Scott Hodge at Homeport Residential knows every street, every amenity, and every opportunity in this one-of-a-kind San Diego Country Estates golf course community.
