Julian Mountain Cabin with Breathtaking Desert Views! Experience a one-of-a-kind mountaintop setting where the horizon stretches endlessly over the Anza-Borrego Desert. From the edge of this remarkable Julian property, the sweeping views make you feel as if you’re standing on the rim of the world. Brilliant sunrises, distant storms, and star-filled night skies create a setting that changes daily yet always inspires awe. A stone walkway leads to a charming 775 sq ft mountain cabin with 1½ baths, on over five acres, blending rustic character with modern upgrades. Inside, you’ll find rough-hewn pine accents, vaulted ceilings, and an inviting loft overlooking the main living space. A wood stove warms chilly mountain nights, while a mini-split system provides efficient heating and cooling year-round. The home also features solar panels and durable Hardiboard siding. Step outside to an entertainer’s dream space with a custom-built outdoor kitchen finished in stone—complete with sink, grill, and prep counter—all oriented toward panoramic desert views. Relax on the patio or under the stars in total privacy, surrounded by native manzanita and pine. A detached storage shed with barn-style doors adds versatility. Bordering BLM land along the eastern boundary, this peaceful retreat offers unmatched seclusion while being just minutes from downtown Julian. The property also offers potential to add a guest cabin or tiny home—an exceptional opportunity for those seeking views that feel like the edge of the world.

FAQs
Roam is your trusted partner for affordable home ownership. We help manage the assumption process from start to finish, enabling homebuyers to easily purchase their next home with a low-interest rate mortgage attached.
To qualify, you must meet the current FHA, VA, or USDA loan requirements depending on the type of loan you are assuming. This typically means a minimum credit score of 580, although most lenders prefer 620-640. Your debt-to-income ratio should be under the 50% max under FHA guidelines. Additional information such as employment history, explanations of income for each applicant, and asset verification for a down payment may be needed to process the loan.
An assumable mortgage is a type of home loan that allows a homebuyer to take over the existing mortgage terms from the seller, with no cost to the seller. Many government-backed loans, such as FHA and VA loans, are eligible for assumption, and millions of these mortgages are available.
When interest rates on mortgages are high, assuming a mortgage with a rate as low as 2% allows buyers to save up to thousands monthly compared to buying a home with a traditional mortgage at today’s average rates of 7%. A low-rate assumable mortgage could be the key to finding your dream home at an affordable price.
Roam has compiled available listings with low-rate assumable mortgages for you to browse. To get started, enter the city, state, zip code, or school district you’re interested in purchasing in. Utilize the search filters to narrow down your search. Click “Save search” to save your search preferences and activate listing notifications—we’ll email you as soon as new listings match your criteria.
Once you’ve found your dream home and ready to make an offer, schedule a call with a Roam Advisor directly from the listing. Your Roam Advisor will guide you through each step of the process, while also working directly with your agent, the servicer, and the seller to ensure you close on time.
When assuming the existing mortgage as part of a home purchase, the buyer has to cover the seller’s equity in the home. The seller’s equity is the purchase price minus the remaining mortgage balance. This amount must be covered in full through an all-cash down payment or by taking out a second mortgage.
