    About this House

    What's unique:Natural lightOpen feel
    4 parcels / potential for 8 units! Rare development opportunity in Vista! Situated on approximately 0.78 acres, this unique property has already been subdivided into four separate parcels, offering exceptional flexibility for a builder, developer, investor, or owner looking to create a multi-generational compound. The four parcels measure approximately 10,442, 9,160, 7,810, and 6,699 square feet. Zoned R-1, and according to information provided by the City of Vista, each individual parcel may have the potential to accommodate a primary residence plus an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), creating the possibility for multiple residences across the property. Buyers are encouraged to independently verify all zoning, development, ADU, utility, and building requirements with the City of Vista and appropriate agencies. One of the parcels is currently improved with an approximately 1,400-square-foot, 3-bedroom, 2-bath home originally built in 1923, providing an existing residence while exploring the property's future development possibilities. The entire property sits on a gentle slope, creating an attractive setting and allowing for excellent elevated views across much of western Vista. The topography may provide opportunities to thoughtfully position future homes to take advantage of the surrounding vistas, natural light, and open feel. Excellent location walking distance to shopping, restaurants and entertainment. Less than a mile to Vista Village and the vista transit center to catch the Sprinter. With four separate parcels already established, R-1 zoning, an existing home, and significant potential for additional residential development, this is a truly unique opportunity to create something special in Vista. Whether envisioned as multiple new homes, residences with ADUs, an investment project, or a private family compound, the possibilities are substantial.

      "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. "
