Opportunity knocks in the Shadow Hills neighborhood of Mt. Helix - an incredible chance to renovate, personalize & create your dream home. Custom built in 1969 & offered for the first time by its original owner, this single-story ranch sits on a private 1-acre lot at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac. The home offers a spacious dining room & living room with fireplace, ideal for entertaining. The kitchen features abundant cabinet & counter space, a breakfast bar for casual seating & offers excellent potential for expansion. The primary bedroom includes an en-suite bath & provides views of the pool & mountains. Three additional bedrooms provide versatile space for a growing family, guests, or a home office. One bedroom is currently configured as an office off the primary suite, offering flexibility to be converted back to a bedroom, expanded into a larger primary bathroom, or reimagined as a spacious walk-in closet. Additional highlights include a laundry room with half bath, owned solar, a pool & spa with expansive patio space & a 2-car garage and a large driveway for RV parking & multiple vehicles. An outbuilding provides potential for a workshop or extra storage. Additional features include a newer dual-zoned HVAC system & a durable concrete tile roof. The low-maintenance grounds feature mature plumeria, hibiscus & a citrus grove with grapefruit, orange & lemon trees. Shadow Hills is a well-established, peaceful community in the scenic hills of Mt. Helix, known for its larger lots, privacy & sweeping valley view - yet still conveniently located near shopping & freeway access.

RR
Rural Residential District
The RR Use Regulations are intended to create and enhance residential areas where agricultural use compatible with a dominant, permanent residential use is desired. Typically, the RR Use Regulations would be applied to rural or semi-rural areas where urban levels of service are not available and where large lots are desired. Various applications of the RR Use Regulations with appropriate development designators can create buffers between residential and agricultural uses, family or small farm areas, or large lot rural residential developments.
Permitted uses
Include but are not limited to:
Housing-Single unit
Housing-Multiple units
Fire house
Agriculture-Cropland
