Our most ecologically minded guests will find paradise in this home. The garden feels like your very own slice of Eden – not only are the plants beautiful, but most of them are edible too and organically grown. Sweeps of bright orange nasturtium fill the spaces that aren’t manicured and there are cascading waterfalls to add to the feeling of zen. It might be impossible to leave this tranquil space, especially when you can enjoy the tropical vistas from the steamy hot tub. However, the interiors are similarly charming and considered, celebrating materials such as stainless steel, glass and wood. Even the cabinets throughout the house are eco-minded, made from recycled cork, and the kitchen is kitted out for a professional chef. Rustle up delicious meals and use freshly-picked herbs from your own garden to garnish. Just a short drive away from all of San Diego's most sought-after attractions, and only a ten-minute walk to downtown Hillcrest, this home boasts convenience and practicality too.
