About this home

Peaceful Country Living – Minutes from Everything! Rare opportunity to own a unique property with a seasonal creek (pan for gold), flat usable land, and endless potential. Situated on an expansive 8,232 sq ft lot with peach tree, this charming home offers the best of both worlds, a tranquil rural ambiance with convenient access to city amenities. The main residence is accompanied by a finished outbuilding (approx. 181 sq ft of additional space), ideal for a home office, creative studio, or guest overflow. The attached one-car garage adds functionality and storage. Zoning allows for up to three horses, making this an ideal spot for equestrian enthusiasts or those looking to create a mini ranch-style retreat. The lot is dotted with mature oak trees that offer natural shade and beauty, while the seasonal creek adds a serene, storybook setting. Whether you choose to renovate, expand, or rebuild, the lot size, layout, and location open up a world of possibilities. Located on a paved road with generous street frontage, county utilities (water, gas, electricity) are already connected. Trash collection is also available. Enjoy the laid-back lifestyle of this historic canyon community—just a short walk to the Trabuco Oaks Steakhouse and the Trabuco General Store. Bring your tools, your imagination, and your love of nature—this property is ready to become something truly special.

Condition Rating
Poor

Built in 1944, this property requires substantial repairs and rehabilitation. While some kitchen appliances are newer, the cabinets, countertops, lighting, and mismatched, worn flooring are very dated. The bathroom is extremely old with exposed plumbing and requires a complete renovation. The exterior laundry setup is highly inconvenient. The overall condition suggests a lack of comprehensive renovation for decades, and the listing description itself points to the need to 'renovate, expand, or rebuild,' indicating significant investment is needed to bring it to modern living standards.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Development Potential & Unique Land: The expansive 8,232 sq ft flat, usable lot with a seasonal creek, peach tree, and mature oak trees offers significant potential for renovation, expansion, or rebuilding, appealing to various buyer visions.
Equestrian Zoning: Zoning allows for up to three horses, making this a highly attractive and rare opportunity for equestrian enthusiasts or those desiring a mini-ranch lifestyle.
Versatile Outbuilding: A finished 181 sq ft outbuilding provides valuable flexible space, ideal for a home office, creative studio, or guest overflow, adding significant utility to the property.
Rural Charm with Urban Access: Offers a peaceful country living experience with a tranquil ambiance, yet boasts convenient access to city amenities and local establishments like Trabuco Oaks Steakhouse and General Store.
Established Utilities & Infrastructure: Located on a paved road with connected county utilities (water, gas, electricity) and trash collection, simplifying development and daily living for future owners.

Cons

Small & Outdated Main Residence: The main home is only 600 sq ft with 1 bed/1 bath and was built in 1944, indicating it's likely outdated and may require extensive renovation or a complete rebuild to meet modern living standards.
Significant Renovation/Investment Required: The listing explicitly states 'Bring your tools, your imagination,' implying the property is not move-in ready and will demand substantial time and financial investment for upgrades, renovation, or expansion.
Limited Immediate Livability: Due to its small size and age, the current main residence offers limited immediate comfortable living space for most families, potentially narrowing the buyer pool to those specifically looking for a project or a secondary dwelling.
