Here is your once-in-a-lifetime chance to secure a property before the cash investor flippers do. This cosmetic fixer offers the perfect opportunity for a buyer who wants to build equity and create their dream home while saving money by doing the upgrades themselves. Bring your imagination and vision—carpet, paint, updates, and personal touches can transform this property into something truly special. Whether you're looking to customize your own home or invest in a project with tremendous upside, the possibilities here are endless. The property features a large steel garage ideal for vehicles, hobbies, storage, or workshop space. The roof was replaced within the last few years, providing peace of mind and a strong starting point for improvements. Even better, there are no water or sewer bills, helping keep long-term ownership costs low. Set in a beautiful natural setting, the land is surrounded by mature oak trees and stunning manzanita, creating a peaceful, scenic environment that feels private and serene. Properties like this are becoming increasingly rare—especially ones that allow buyers to create value instead of paying investor markups.
