About this property
Extraordinary Panoramic-View Home with Private Pool in Ram's Hill!
Situated 850 feet above the desert floor on nearly 1/2 acre, with AMAZING 360-degree views...
High on a hill in the private, gated community of Rams Hill, our 3,000 sq. ft. custom home takes full advantage of stunning views of the surrounding mountains and desert floor of Anza-Borrego State Park. Step inside and a soaring, beamed ceiling welcomes you to an open-concept living-dining entertainment space with soothing decor throughout, reflecting the desert's serenity. Gazing through a long bank of sliding glass doors, you'll spot a huge turquoise pool with large spa and spacious patio, inviting you outside to relax while enjoying those amazing views—day and night.
Borrego Springs is the only officially designated “Dark Sky Community” in all of California. Read the reviews of this home to “hear" the enthusiasm of prior guests as amazed by views of the Milky Way, constellations, meteor showers and far away nebulae, as the desert vistas, hiking opportunities and spring wildflowers!
All on one level, our home can comfortably sleep 6, with three roomy bedrooms and 3 1/2 bathrooms (2 are en suites). The kitchen is very large and well equipped, serving a more formal dining room and pass-through bar as well as a casual eating area. A natural-stone gas fireplace stands ready to ward off the chill of a cool evening. The laundry room features a full-size washer & dryer, and there is room for two cars in the garage. (Note: All cars must be parked either in the garage or in the driveway; Rams Hill does not allow street parking.) Our home is fully walled and gated, with some grassy areas, making it suitable for a furry guest!*
You're only a short drive from all that Anza-Borrego State Park and the charming town of Borrego Springs itself, have to offer, but you also have the amenities of Ram's Hill at your disposal. From the award-winning Tom Fazio golf course and gorgeous clubhouse restaurant (please contact the pro shop for green fees and tee times; note that course and clubhouse are closed from Jul 1 - Nov 1) to tennis courts and an additional pool and spa within walking distance of the house, this is the perfect place to getaway as a couple, or with friends and family any time of the year!
*We love animals, but pets must be pre-approved and listed on the application. (Note: an additional fee is charged for pets.)

About the host
Hosted by Pam Crooks
My husband and I live just over the mountains in San Diego, and are actively engaged in and supportive of all that great city has to offer--especially Balboa Park. My husband still works full-time as consultant; I am retired from a career in communications, but serve on two non-profit boards, and continue to write and publish books (including children's books) on local topics. We've been married for over 40 years, have three sons, two daughters-in-law and three young grandsons, whom we love to spend time with! We have traveled extensively and stayed in many great vacation rentals--including overseas--over the years. We believe this is a great way to learn about and feel more a part of a new place.
Why they chose this property
We love the drive from San Diego through the back country and over the mountains before descending to the breathtaking views of the desert and finally the peace and serenity of Borrego Springs. Cares just drift away as we make that drive.
There is something magical, almost spiritual, about Borrego Springs that touches my soul. I'm not sure if it's the quality of the light, deep blue of the sky, shadows of the clouds on the mountains, the way the view changes throughout the day or the mind-bending views of the heavens at night. People come here for many different reasons. To escape winter and/or hectic lives elsewhere, enjoy the warm sunshine and desert bloom, hike, play golf or tennis, and, of course, for the phenomenal star-gazing.
We are enthusiastic new owners of this very special Ram's Hill home from which one is able to do all these things--or simply sit by the pool marveling over the views and reading a good book! We look forward to enjoying it ourselves for many years to come and sharing this special retreat with you, our guests.

What makes this property unique
We've stayed in Borrego Springs many times, but the incredibly beautiful setting of Rams Hill, and the way this home takes advantage of the stunning views convinced us this was where we wanted to own a home. Just take a look at this website to see what we mean: https://www.ramshill.com
