Imagine being happy. Imagine being here. Imagine waking up on your first morning in your new home and realizing that the sunlight coming through the windows, filtering through the trees, is even more beautiful than you expected. Welcome to 10232 Sage Hill Way, a truly unique 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom home in Hidden Meadows, where high ceilings, generous living spaces, and a wonderful positive energy make you feel like you’ve found your own little place on earth. The beautifully remodeled bathrooms, recently updated appliances, including two WOLF ovens and microwave, Air conditioning replaced in 2026, and completely rebuilt bamboo deck, balconies and railings add modern comfort to this special home. At the heart of it all is a magnificent oak tree around which the home was built, creating a connection with nature that makes this property truly one of a kind. From the moment you walk in, you’ll notice the warm, inviting feeling that makes this home so special. There’s something about the energy here, something you feel almost immediately but can’t quite put into words. Every room has its own personality, and the thoughtful design makes the home feel both open and intimate. The bathrooms have been beautifully remodeled with stylish, contemporary finishes that give each space its own unique character. My favorite is the walk-in closet with a very cool barn door and a creative light fixture made out of a ladder. Perhaps the most special feature of this property is the magnificent oak tree around which the home was built. More than just a beautiful tree, it feels like part of the home itself, bringing beauty and a sense of peace. Some homes are simply places to live. Others make you feel like you’ve found your own little place on earth. Come see what makes this one so special and put down your roots, just like the beautiful oak tree that has stood here for years. Enjoy the community amenities including a swimming pool, two tennis courts, and clubhouse for only about $40/month HOA ($475 paid annually). If you are not familiar with Hidden Meadows, this community is at once accessible and private, convenient and exclusive. Residents love gathering at the Meadows Deli Market and the Market in Hidden Meadows, both famous for their delicious sandwiches and pizza, enjoying a drink at the Side Yard, dining at the Oaks Bar & Grill, or spending the afternoon at Boulder Oaks Golf Club, surrounded by century-old oak trees. Throughout the year the neighborhood comes alive with community events including the popular Escondido Madhouse during Halloween season and the always fun monthly Seller’s Fair. Peaceful, scenic, and full of charm, Hidden Meadows is one of North County’s best-kept secrets. Come for a visit. Stay for a lifetime.
