Bonsall is located
in the rolling foothills of North San Diego County on
Highway 76.
The community was begun after John
Bonsall, a Methodist minister, was hauling lumber through
Gopher Canyon more than a century ago and was struck by the
beauty of the place. He built a house and planted a fruit
orchard in 1879. The town was first known as Mount Fairview.
Residents have easy access to I-15 and
the coast. Southern California’s world-class beaches are
just a half-hour away. Residents enjoy the beauty of nature,
celebrate the arts, send their children to excellent
schools, have access to shopping and recreation and enjoy
the small town atmosphere with easy access to all that
Southern California has to offer.
The San Luis Rey Downs Track and
Training Center and the San Luis Rey Golf and Country Club
are both located in the city.
The real estate market features
Spanish and California-style ranch homes as well as
contemporary designs. Single-family homes start in the low
$300,000s and range up to $2 million and more for custom
properties with spectacular views of the ocean, foothills
and mountains. |
