Description

Discover a rare opportunity to bring your dream estate to life on this expansive 1.16-acre property at 1045 LaRueda Drive. With over an acre of flat, usable land and near-perfect dimensions — including a curb-frontage width of over 300 feet and a depth of nearly 165 feet — this lot is a true blank canvas, waiting for your vision. The property features two existing structures: a single-story, 1,052 sq ft, 2-bedroom, 1full-bath home with a two-car garage located on the north side, and a spacious workshop (approximately 5,500 sq ft) on the opposite side. While the home is in need of repairs and updates, it boasts solid block construction, vaulted hardwood ceilings, and is one of the last sewer-connected properties on the street. Set in an area that has been transitioning with new, elegant homes replacing older structures, the “RR” zoning and half-acre minimum lot size offer tremendous flexibility. You’ll have the potential to split the lot, build additional homes, create ADUs, or add boat and RV storage. Located just a short distance from the Hwy 78 corridor, 1045 LaRueda combines a sense of privacy with easy access to all conveniences. This unique property provides an ideal blend of semi-rural charm and modern potential — come see it for yourself and imagine the possibilities!
This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Trulia. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources. This description is from January 15, 2025

    "Dog owners, even on the easements, pick up after your dog. The county pocket lacks adequate street maintenance so it is up to the home owners to clean up what is left behind. And no, we don't want to smell what your dog has been cooking. Exercise your dog to your heart's content but turning a street into a dog toilet is not cool. Be kind, don't empty your dog's behind. "
