Calling all treasure hunters, rock hounds, and lovers of wide-open nature. This extraordinary 40-acre property"”featuring two homes"”sits atop the famed Gem Hill in Santa Ysabel, right next to the historic Himalaya Mine, source of tourmaline specimens now displayed in the Smithsonian. Here, you can own a remarkable piece of local history: the site of the J. Goodman Braye House (circa 1903), proudly marked by its original plaque. This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The land offers sweeping open pastures framed by mature oaks, along with a diverse collection of trees, flowers, and native plants. Multiple outbuildings provide flexibility for storage, workshops, or creative use. Both homes enjoy the comfort of well water with a newer storage tank, SDG&E power, and fully ducted HVAC/furnace systems, plus cozy fireplaces for cool mountain evenings. The main home"”rebuilt in 1974"”offers an estimated 1,000+ sq ft, while the charming ADU, built in 1978, adds additional living space. The main house features a striking rustic-timber patio draped in mature wisteria that now blooms in two vibrant colors. The scents, views, and peaceful sounds of the surrounding landscape create an atmosphere that is nothing short of mesmerizing. Come experience the magic of this property for yourself. Schedule a tour and feel what it's like to stand on Gem Hill and say, "This is mine."
