Property Description

On a rare occasion ~ a 3 BR, 2 bath single-story home ON acreage becomes available in Vista ~ South of the 78.

Tucked onto the front portion of a half-acre lot, this mid-century home has a charming front yard and offers the perfect place to rejuvenate at the end of a long day! The possibilities for multi-generational living with this property are endless. An ADU? A tiny house? A pool? Bring your RV (30-amp RV hookup out back), your speed boat, your oversized work truck – it will all find a space on this well apportioned lot! As we speak ~ this lovely home is one of very few in the 92081 area of Vista, priced under 875k and couple with acreage!
