Condition Rating
Tear down
The property, built in 1958, is explicitly described as a 'fixer home' with 'ongoing demolition and wiring work' and 'expired rebuilding permits.' The images confirm this, showing a partially demolished structure with exposed framing, missing walls, and significant debris, rendering it unlivable. There are no visible kitchens or bathrooms, indicating they are either demolished or require complete replacement. The extent of deconstruction and the need for new 'rebuilding' permits suggest the existing structure is beyond practical repair for habitation, and its value is primarily in the land and redevelopment potential.
Pros & Cons
Pros
High Available Lot Utilization: The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 217800, living area = 1639.
Expansive Acreage & Horse Property: The property boasts a substantial 5-acre lot, ideal for equestrian use or those seeking significant space and privacy in a rural setting.
Panoramic Views: Offers breathtaking 360-degree panoramic views, encompassing city lights, desert landscapes, and majestic mountains, enhancing its aesthetic appeal and potential value.
Development Potential: Comes with previously county-approved plans for rebuilding, indicating the feasibility of future development and providing a valuable starting point for a new owner.
Key Infrastructure Updates: Benefits from a recent septic replacement and connection to city water, reducing immediate infrastructure concerns and costs for the buyer.
Additional Structures: Includes an outbuilding with potential for guest quarters and a 2-car garage, offering versatile extra space for living, storage, or workshops.
Cons
Extensive Renovation Required: Described as a 'fixer home' with ongoing demolition and wiring work, indicating a significant investment of time, effort, and capital will be necessary to complete the project.
Expired Building Permits: The county-approved rebuilding permit has expired, necessitating a new application process which could introduce delays, additional costs, and regulatory hurdles.
Incomplete Project & Seller Abandonment: The seller's decision to move out of state and not complete the project suggests potential complexities or unforeseen challenges that may have led to its abandonment, requiring careful due diligence from a buyer.
