25595 Oakvale Rd, Escondido, CA 92027

Cabin home opportunity in the Lake Wohlford area. Handy person special. Rich in history, short on maintenance. This cabin home is likely the oldest in the area. Unfinished interior and needs repairs all around. Not likely to be eligible for financing, no kitchen or bath. This property is all about the location. Situated among oak trees and along a dead-end street, just past Oakvale Park. This is an ideal property for a fix-up investor, or someone looking for entry-level pricing and can make own repairs.

This is an old cabin home nestled in the hillsides and and along dead-end street near Lake Wohlford. The area in general appeals to those seeking a rural-type lifestyle. Although away from typical neighborhood of Escondido, major public conveniences are nearby about five miles or so away. This section of Oakvale Road is a scenic asphalt paved public street with about 10 homes. On the east side of Oakvale Road in this immediate area are the homesites. Along the other side of the street is a park preserve, not likely to ever be built on. The streets are lined with old oak trees which provide tons of shade and unique appeal. This particular house is likely the first house built in the area. Likely built as a lake retreat or weekend getaway. The feel of this tight-knit area is probably similar to the homes along the banks of Lake Hodges. This particular house is built toward the front of the site into an upward sloping lot with the house resting above street grade. The land area behind the house slopes steeply upward toward the rear property line. If one was to walk up the steep hillside behind the house, a wonderful view of Lake Wohlford can be seen. There is currently no pathway leading up the hill toward the rear property line. There is a very limited view of the lake from the porch area of the house. The water view is mostly obstructed by the mature oak trees between the house and the lake. There are lots of repairs needed to this old house. Some cosmetic and some may be structural in nature. This house is not likely to be eligible for typical financing. The interior is unfinished throughout. There is no kitchen, no bathroom no rooms whatsoever. Property is on septic and community well water. Handy person delight. Looking for a project, you just found it. If you have the time and resources, this old house could turn out to be a super fun project. A plumber and electrician have been to the house and both stated because the house is all open (no finished drywall or finished ceilings, and the house is on a crawl space) that such improvement projects would be very access friendly.
