37790 Los Alamos Rd — 3.26 Acre Estate in Murrieta's Los Alamos Hills

A different side of Murrieta is waiting in the Los Alamos Hills area, where usable acreage, privacy, and flexibility create a setting unlike any residential neighborhood. This custom 2,026-square-foot single-story home sits on 3.26 acres and offers a country-style atmosphere with modern updates.

The Property

Set directly across from Los Alamos Hills Sports Park and approximately 0.4 mile from Rail Ranch Elementary School, this property offers convenient access to shopping, dining, medical services, and major routes. Two gated entrances provide access to the fully fenced, gently rolling grounds.

The property offers direct riding-trail access, a riding arena, pipe corrals, and room to expand the existing animal facilities. Rural Residential zoning supports the area's rural character and may allow horses, livestock, and agricultural uses.

Outdoor Living

A standout feature of this property is the outdoor living space. A pool, covered patio, and separate cabana create multiple spaces for relaxing, dining, and entertaining. A seasonal creek and bridge extend through the property beneath mature walnut, pepper, and eucalyptus trees. Mountain, hillside, sunset, and city-light views enhance the setting.

The Home

Inside, the open-concept design is anchored by a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace and tongue-and-groove wood-beam ceiling. The updated kitchen features granite countertops and new stainless steel appliances. Fresh paint, luxury vinyl flooring, new bedroom carpet, new baseboards, and new window coverings give the home a refreshed presentation.

Three generously sized bedrooms include a spacious primary suite with a walk-in closet. Two full bathrooms offer dual-sink vanities, plus a powder room.

Why Murrieta?

More than just a place to live, Murrieta offers a country lifestyle that's hard to find in Southern California — space, privacy, and a slower pace, all within reach of the coast and mountains.

Country Living, Close to Everything

Murrieta has the feel of a small country town — wide open spaces, horse properties, rolling hills, and a community where neighbors wave from their front porches. Unlike the crowded coastal cities, Murrieta offers room to breathe, land to enjoy, and a lifestyle that feels unhurried. Yet you're never far from the action — the beach is just 45 minutes away, and the mountains are an hour and a quarter drive.

Climate & Weather

Murrieta enjoys a warm, sunny climate year-round with mild winters and warm summers. Average temperatures range from the mid-50s in winter to the mid-90s in summer, with over 270 days of sunshine annually. The area receives minimal rainfall, making it ideal for outdoor living, horseback riding, and enjoying the natural landscape.

Family-Friendly Atmosphere

Murrieta is consistently ranked one of the safest cities in California and the nation for its population size. The city has a genuine community feel — neighbors know each other, kids play in the parks, and local events bring people together. It's the kind of place where families put down roots and stay for generations.

Top-Rated Schools

The Murrieta Valley Unified School District is one of the highest-rated in Riverside County, with 11 elementary schools, 4 middle schools, and 3 high schools. Schools consistently outperform state averages, making Murrieta a top choice for families with children.

Parks & Outdoor Recreation

With over 50 parks and 1,350 acres of trails and open space, Murrieta is an outdoor lover's paradise. From the Santa Rosa Plateau Ecological Reserve to Alta Murrieta Sports Park, there's always a green space nearby for walking, biking, or simply enjoying the sunshine.

Entertainment & Lifestyle

Temecula Wine Country is just minutes away, offering world-class wineries, dining, and live entertainment. Old Town Temecula features boutiques, restaurants, and a weekly farmers market. Pechanga Resort & Casino, community events, and a growing food scene keep weekends interesting.

A Different Kind of Southern California

Los Angeles, San Diego, and Orange County offer big-city amenities — but also traffic, high costs, and a pace that leaves many people feeling rushed. Murrieta offers something different: space to spread out, land to enjoy, and a lifestyle where you can have a horse in your backyard and still be 45 minutes from the beach. It's Southern California living, without the congestion.
