1.02 Acres at the end of a cul-de-sac, the zoning is RR-40 and is in the planning and building jurisdiction of the City of Martinez. The lot is a gentle down sloping parcel located in the predominantly built out Muir Oaks subdivision. This zoning allows for horses and other animals, and it abuts the California Riding and Hiking Trail. This lot can support a main residence and guest house as well as outbuildings. Possible use of Senate Bill 9 to subdivide into 2 lots.
Muir Oaks, located between Alhambra Avenue and Franklin Canyon Road, is a residential and hillside Martinez neighborhood with mid-century ranch homes and oak-studded open space. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Alhambra Avenue corridor near the Franklin Canyon Road junction, where a low-key strip of local storefronts and daily errands sets the pace. Community pillars include the Martinez Museum, the Contra Costa County Historical Society & History Center, and the Martinez Campbell Theater downtown. Streets climb gently toward wooded slopes, with pockets of larger lots and quiet cul-de-sacs. The setting feels tucked into the edge of the Alhambra Valley, with trail-oriented weekends and a short drive to the waterfront. Architecture leans practical and California-casual, with patios, carports, and mature trees shaping the streetscape.
