Are you looking for an all-natural rural area to create something amazing? This property gets direct sun and has nice shade mixed with fruit trees, a small seasonal creek, fenced horse area and stall, and more! (Including the fascinating history of the love story of Mr. Paul Sweet and his heroic wife)
Close to the city, and specifically minutes from the Chaminade and a hospital, this tucked away, unique property, awaits you.
The existing structures are being given no value. The county restricts the main structure and all existing structures being used as a liveable home. An old survey map is available and includes alternative proposed building sites with septic and home design. A well and two septic areas are shown on surveys, but no visual identification or inspection has been done by the agent.
All information provided is deemed reliable but not guaranteed. Broker/Agent has not verified boundary lines, lot size, zoning, utility availability, buildability, or feasibility. Buyer is strongly advised to conduct their own independent investigations, inspections, and due diligence regarding all aspects of the property, including but not limited to, checking with appropriate city/county planning departments and utility companies.
