1.59 ACRE view home site located just minutes south of the community of Julian in the rustic gated community of Cuyamaca Woods. This parcel is a home site that once featured a beautiful log home with views to the Coronado Bridge. The home was lost during a firestorm. Everything is in place for an easy build out. The topography features a gently rolling slope to the south with spectacular views. This is an ideal investment for future returns, or a great place to build your weekend get-a-way. [Supplement]: There is an abundance of wildlife in the area and old growth oaks and natural vegetation are rebounding quickly from the firestorm. This is the ideal parcel for the horseperson, hiker, or outdoor enthusiast. Cuyamaca Woods is a community requiring alternative power sources, such as solar power. A water meter is in place, North Peak Mutual Water District. Seller states existing septic system is in place and functional. The Julian area is a well known get-a-way for city residents from all over Southern California. Tourism is now the primary draw, replacing the mining interests when Julian's population rivaled that of the City of San Diego. There are many fine restaurants and lodging accommodations in the immediate area of this centrally, yet privately located property. Major shopping and resources are no more than 35 minutes away. There are many recreational activities available in the area: the California Riding and Hiking Trail and the Pacific Crest Trail for riding, golfing at Warner's Ranch and Borrego Springs, hunting and fishing, dinning, and a variety of other opportunities for each family member. The newly opened Santa Ysabel Open Space Preserve offers excellent riding trails connecting the Santa Ysabel, Wynola, and Julian communities. The Volcan Mountain Preserve is minutes away. The famous Hale Observatory on Palomar Mountain is less than 30 minutes away.
