First time on the market, here is your opportunity to enjoy endless panoramic ocean views, beautiful sunsets, nice ocean breezes, and daily dolphin shows from the comfort of your living room. This spectacular home was designed, built, and has been lovingly cared for by legendary surfer and waterman Kit Horn and his wife Gwen. Kit, known for being a big wave surfing pioneer in California and Hawaii, chose this place to call home and raise his family. Gwen designed this unique “New England Cape Cod Style” ocean front home, which has private stairs down a gently sloping bluff to the beach. Nearly a quarter acre, this property offers 50 feet of beach frontage. The main level of the home is highlighted by an oversized great room with breathtaking ocean views on one side and a beautiful rock fireplace on the other flanked by wood bookshelves. There is an additional fireplace located in the kitchen/breakfast eating area. The expansive primary bedroom that measures 40’ x 16’ offers a fireplace, wood ceiling that peaks at 13’ high, and multiple sliders leading to your expansive deck looking west. The second floor also included a large primary bath and secondary bedroom. The wood ceilings and skylights add to this distinctive home. Included with this home is an oversize additional unit with a fireplace, full kitchen, and tall wood ceiling. Both units are under the same roof so this could be reconfigured easily to join the main house. This beautiful home is positioned over looking the Beacons “North Reef” surf break and is near the vibrant 101 Corridor with numerous outstanding restaurants, pubs, and eclectic shops. You’ll enjoy long strolls on the sand, surfing fun waves, and countless sunsets. Living here makes you never want to leave home.

This is a rare chance to acquire four contiguous, fully subdivided parcels in a highly desirable area of Vista. Ideally located just minutes from downtown Vista Village, with convenient access to shopping, dining, entertainment, and major freeways, this offering presents a wealth of potential for developers, investors, or end users. The total lot size across all four parcels is approximately 32,000 square feet (0.8 acres). The offering includes the following parcels: Parcel #179-090-42 – 10,442 SF, which includes an existing structure. Parcel #179-090-41 – 9,160 SF of vacant land. Parcel #179-090-43 – 6,699 SF of vacant land. Parcel #179-090-44 – 7,810 SF of vacant land. All four parcels are being sold together for a combined asking price of $1,995,000.The parcel with the existing home features a 3-bedroom, 2-bath residence of approximately 1,400 square feet, plus a detached ADU/guest house—ideal for extended family, rental income, or a home office. The main house boasts solid oak hardwood floors and an updated primary bedroom and bath, blending classic charm with modern comfort. Because the lots are already subdivided, there is potential to develop each parcel with a primary residence and an accessory dwelling unit (ADU), offering strong upside for multi-unit or multi-generational living scenarios. However, buyers are strongly advised to perform their own due diligence with the City of Vista regarding zoning, development potential, and allowable uses. This is an outstanding investment opportunity in a growing area with flexible development possibilities. Don't miss your chance to shape a unique project in one of North County's most dynamic communities.
