Condition Rating
Tear down
The property was built in 1936, making it 88 years old. Crucially, there are no interior photos provided for the 1350 sqft 'home/structure,' which is a significant red flag indicating that the interior is likely in very poor, unpresentable, or unlivable condition. The listing description heavily emphasizes the 20.2 acres of land and its development potential ('BUY NOW, map later,' 'Current zone is for one acre lots,' 'expired map needs updating and resubmittal'), suggesting the existing structure is not considered a primary asset and its value is negligible compared to the land. This aligns perfectly with the 'tear-down' criteria where the structure is beyond repair or its value is based solely on the land for redevelopment.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Significant Development Potential: The property spans 20.2 acres and is zoned for one-acre lots, offering substantial opportunity for subdivision and large-scale residential development.
Prestigious Location & Serene Setting: Situated in 'prestigious San Marcos Farms' with rolling hills and a serene environment, making it highly attractive for upscale residential projects.
Existing Essential Utilities: Equipped with a 2-inch water meter, electrical service, and a current septic system, providing foundational infrastructure for immediate use or development.
Future Infrastructure Upgrade: The impending arrival of new sewer and wastewater treatment to the area promises enhanced development viability and long-term value appreciation.
Scenic Mountain Views: The property boasts desirable mountain views, contributing to the aesthetic appeal and marketability of future homes on the site.
Cons
Unapproved Development Plans & Risk: The existing development map is expired and requires updating and resubmittal, posing significant time, cost, and regulatory risk for potential developers.
Outdated Existing Infrastructure: Current reliance on a septic system (prior to future sewer connection) and the age of the 1936 structure (2 beds, 1 bath, 1350 sqft) suggest substantial investment will be needed for modern residential use or demolition for new development.
Complex Transaction & Due Diligence: The seller's motivation for a 'quick sale without map' and options for 'nonrefundable pay outs during process' indicate a complex transaction requiring extensive due diligence and financial commitment from the buyer for mapping and approvals.
