Excellent opportunity to purchase a vacant lot close to town, with views of the Bay and mountains AND ability to proceed with a home construction with septic and building permits already completed. The owners of this property have spent over 2 years with all the technical data required with the county in getting the home ready to start construction and their immediate plans then changed and they are unable to proceed. Thus, the septic permit has been approved and all of the building plans for a home have been approved by the county and now all needed is to take over and start. The construction company has indicated they still can get this project scheduled in immediately to break ground if you wanted to still us them (but not required).
