OUR NEW PROPERTY
1907 Camino Rainbow
Fallbrook, CA 92028
In March 2009, Paul and Petra purchased a 3.9 acre property in Rainbow Valley, a suburb of Fallbrook on the east side of Interstate 15 about 5 miles south of Temecula. Rainbow is hardly a town – more a concentration of nurseries in a relatively flat area up in the hills at 1050' elevation. Our property is situated at the south end of the valley surrounded by picturesque boulder-strewn peaks, especially to the north and east. It lies on a quiet cul-de-sac in a flat area with slight drainage to the east. To the south and west of us the land drops off sharply, with good drainage all the way down to the San Luis Rey River. There is a duplex on site, which we are renting out to help pay for this adventure. The rest of the property is currently leased out to a nurseryman, who uses the land to grow potted palms that are watered from our own well!
We have cleared out the small 0.70 acre parcel at the south end of the property (the area south of the duplex) and started building Petra's nursey there. You can follow our progress through the UPDATES link below.
We will continue to rent out the rest of the property, planning to upgrade one of the duplexes and move down here in a few years.

This south parcel has a small office (with toilet and sink!) which will give Petra a place to sleep, as well as a large RV port, which we plan to convert to a storage/workshop shed. The south unit of the duplex is visible directly behind the RV port.
