    Description

    Beautiful Pristine nearly 4 acre view lot for sale in very desirable area of Vista, California. Property is located in a secluded enclave of Vista off Sunset Drive and is surrounded by existing single-family homes on 1/4 acre, 1/2 acre and one acre lots. Further west of the property is an existing higher density PUD development. The property fronts on an improved street (Aliento Ct.) in the City of Vista with access to water, sewer, gas and electric. Currently the property is within San Diego County bordering the City of Vista and the zoning is RR Rural Residential. The City of Vista has already indicated that it will entertain annexation proposals of the property to the City with a suggested zone change to R-1 allowing a possible density of 5 units per acre. The 3.85 acre portion is part of an existing 5.04 acre parcel and sale is contingent upon Buyer splitting the two lots prior to close of escrow. In addition, the neighbor has listed approximately 2.5 acres of his land (a portion of parcel 166-450-52 that adjoins the 3.85 acres) for a sales price of $1,100,000. Combined these two lots will significantly increase the potential building density for future development.
    Centrally located near the 78 FWY, shopping and schools it is ideal for residential development.

      "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. "
