Investor special on a large pie-shaped lot in the lovely rural community of Alpine, nestled in the foothills of the Cuyamaca Mountains east of San Diego. This probate sale offers significant upside for contractors, flippers, and buy-and-hold investors willing to tackle a full remodel. The existing home is in disrepair and has been occupied by a long-term hoarder, making this a true “blank slate” opportunity for those ready to roll up their sleeves. The expansive lot provides space for parking, outdoor living areas, and future improvements, all in a small-town setting known for its natural beauty, fresh air, and convenient access to San Diego via Interstate 8. Bring your vision and your contractor—opportunities like this in Alpine’s peaceful mountain community are rare.
