There’s a lg. covered patio for barbecuing or outdoor movie nights, a fully fenced pool, new sod and sprinklers in the front yard, and an XL space in the backyard that is currently set up with horse shoe pits, but has a lot of potential for a play area, growing a garden, or possibly adding an addition, etc.... A long private driveway leads to the home and offers plenty of parking for vehicles, RVs, boats, and/or toys. Incl.: RV Pad w/30 amps & water. The property includes a variety of lg. fruit trees, including orange, lemon, peach, nectarine, and fruit cocktail. There are also pomegranates, along with grapevines, and a macadamia nut tree grove.

Property has been surveyed and markers are in. A perk test was done in 2007 for parcel #493-120-66 (.48 ac.) and perked for a 2 BR. or 3 BR. w/garage.
