Ramona, CA

Ramona Ramona is where I grew up and will always be a place I will call home! After 18 years of living in Ramona and selling homes here since 2003 I am confident that I can provide both buyers ams sellers expert and personal knowledge of the area, neighborhoods and advantages of living in this beautiful country town.

Ramona is known as “The Valley of the Sun.”; located above the fog line and below the snow line. It is also the gateway to Santa Ysabel and Julian, as well as the desert.
Ramona citizens lined Main Street years ago with these beautiful eucalyptus trees. They were hand-watered when first planted during the summer months to keep them alive. Current Ramona citizens and visitors are reaping the beauty and shade of these magnificent trees. If you plan to stay the weekend consider taking advantage of the local lodging and dining options.

Ramona’s own Guy B. Woodward Museum is open to the public. If you are interested in the Old West and/or the history of Ramona (once known as the “Turkey Capital of the World”) spend an afternoon looking around this wonderful hometown museum. Geneva passed away last July, her son Ken W. is now the director and he may tell stories about Ramona and the people who added to this town’s history.

Ramona is one of the oldest established communities in San Diego County and has become a magnet for Antique shops in the past few years. This phenomenon has caused many to call Ramona the Antique Capital of San Diego County.

Want a place to picnic, hike, or just play? Ramona has great parks for you to enjoy: Dos Picos Park, Collier Park, and Ramona Oaks Park.

If you feel like “A bad day fishing is better than the best day at the office!”then come take a day to enjoy Lake Sutherland Reservoir.

If golfing is your fancy then Ramona has two of the most challenging championship courses you’ll ever encounter: Mount Woodson Golf Course and San Vicente Golf Course.

Ramona is a horse-friendly community! While a lot of our neighboring communities are making it difficult for horse owners to house and ride their horses within city limits, Ramona prides itself in always remembering our rural heritage. More than a few current Ramona residents have moved “up the hill”because of our common-sense policy regarding horses.

One of the most famous photo-opportunities in Ramona is Hope Street’s mailboxes. Each mailbox is unique and special (just like the people who own them) and has it’s own story to tell.

Both Mount Woodson & Iron Mountain offers steep and challenging hikes for all adventurous people. Woodson offers a quick, yet difficult hike (on asphalt) with amazing views and is home to famous “Potato Chip Rock.” Iron Mtn is a traditional dirt trail, approx six miles round trip!

Main Street has all the shopping conveniences of a bigger city. Schwaesdall Winery is family owned and operated producing estate bottled and cellared, classic European style red wines and traditional, California white wines. There is also Salerno Winery, both located off Hwy 67.

Real Estate: Most people live “in town” or in San Diego Country Estates. In the Estates there are two equestrian centers, two community pools, tennis courts and San Vicente Golf Course. There are very few condo complexes in Ramona, two of the main complexes are in SDCE: the Davis Cup condos as well as the condos along the golf course. Single family homes range in price from $450,000 to over $1 Million for large estates, farms and equestrian properties.
