Picture your home on this stunning five acre view property that is away from, but relatively near, the Interstate 15 freeway. A short distance off Reche Road, the amazing outlook materializes as the secluded property is approached. At the end of the private driveway the panoramic view is extended and amplified and the building site comes into view. The property can accommodate many size homes. Already available is the highly sought after 2” water meter. Electricity, internet, and a septic system are provided at the building pad. The acres surrounding the impending home have almost 500 avocado trees. This property is a dedicated avocado farm with certified organic trees AND a complete irrigation system. A large portion of the trees are relatively young at six years of age, which has potential for many, many more years of production. But, there is more. In addition to an active, productive Hass avocado farm there are seasonable avocados (varieties that ripen throughout the year), and organic trees that bear persimmons, cherimoya, pomegranates, limes, peaches, apples, and tangelos. No waiting for the family fruit trees to grow – they are already here. No reason to labor over “what to do with all this property”? It is planted, well-tended, and producing. This unique home site and farm is a must see. The property has been described by many as a “bit of paradise”.

Fantastic Palomar Mountain and valley views from this 5.09 acre parcel. A great opportunity to build with the utilities already installed - a 2 inch water meter, underground electric and septic system are on the property. What a great savings for the buyer! There is a Hass avocado grove -the trees are producing again after being stumped back after the 2007 Rice Canyon fire (former home burned in the fire & seller is not rebuiding). Awesome Views & Great Location!!! See supplement for more details. .. .. . [Supplement]: Swaying palms and colorful Bougainvillea line the paved driveway leading to the pad area. The acreage is ideal for a custom luxurious home or tranquil retreat but there is also potential for a lot split for 2 home sites or family compound (buyer to verify). Don't miss the opportunity to own this special lot- the views don't get any better - you will feel like you are in the hills of Tuscany.
