A private pool and 10.08 acres of land set 16850 Old Survey Road in Escondido apart from the usual tract lot in the city.
It was listed on August 20, 2026 with a first asking price of $2,495,000. The current price is $2,395,000.
The listing gives the home as 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, 3,794 square feet of living space, a lot of 10.08 acres, built in 2009, a private pool, and a septic system. These figures are as listed and have not been checked.
For schools, the listing places it in the San Pasqual Union school district.
The current price comes to about $631 a square foot of living space. With 10.08 acres in the price, lot size drives that figure more than the house does, and a comparison with the city-wide median would mislead. Closed sales of homes on an acre or more in Escondido over the last 12 months had a median of $434 a square foot across 209 sales. Condition, the pool and how much of the land is usable all move the number, so treat it as a starting point.
What to check
These are general points, not statements about this home’s condition. An inspector and the seller’s disclosures answer them for this property.
- Septic system. A septic system is a buried tank and drain field in place of a city sewer line. A septic inspection, which usually includes pumping and checking the tank, is separate from a standard home inspection, so a buyer asks for it by name.
- Pool. A pool adds a pump, a filter, often a heater, and a safety barrier. A pool inspection checks the equipment, looks for leaks and reviews the surface, and it is separate from the home inspection.
Questions to ask before you make an offer
Bring these to Zarko before you make an offer. They come from what the listing shows, not from anything known about the seller.
- When was the septic tank last pumped, and are there records of past inspections?
- Where are the lot lines, and are there easements, fences or shared roads on the land?
- How old are the pool equipment and the surface, and has the pool been serviced regularly?
- Which items, such as appliances and fixtures, come with the sale?
