On the west-facing side of Julian lies Pine Hills, a highly desirable neighborhood. The average lot size is about 1 acre, however there are many properties that are larger. One of the many reasons this neighborhood is sought after is because it tends to hold its resale value well. Conveniently located, Pine Hills is about 5-10 minutes away from Julian & Wynola, depending on where the property is situated. Another plus about this neighborhood is that William Heise State Park is located towards the back end of the community. This is a wonderful area full of hiking trails for all levels.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
R FoleyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. When needing to sell my vacation home in Cuyamaca Woods, I chose Orchard Realty for the job. I knew that it might be a challenge, as my place is fully off grid. My agent, Lisa Alvarado, did an outstanding job for me. She patiently answered my numerous phone calls and questions throughout the process. She also took the time to understand how my off grid home worked so that she could explain it to potential buyers. If you want a professional realty team to work with you, I highly recommend Lisa, as well as Deborah Kersh, the owner, who is very knowledgeable and helpful with getting homes sold in the Julian area.

Mira LastTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. “We met Deborah more than 20 years ago when we decided to build our second home in Julian. Deborah’s friendly manners and smile stayed with us all these years until we decided to sell the Julian house, and we asked her to be our agent. This is when we had a pleasure of also knowing Deborah’s professional side: great knowledge of Julian housing market, adaptability to market changes, a genuine commitment to our needs, problem solving, attention to detail, high ethical standards, and excellent communication skills. Through the whole process, from the moment Deborah came to see the house, preparation for showing it, getting offers, all the way to closing the escrow, we felt well taken care of, and protected. We feel extremely lucky to have had Deborah lead us through this whole process. There is no greater praise to be given to a realtor! Thank you Deborah! “ Dianna HessTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Orchard Realty really came through for me!

We couldn't be happier with our purchase and with Lisa Alvarado and Deborah Kerch for their attention to detail. Thank you so much!
