This generous 10,024-square-foot (0.23-acre) homesite offers a substantial 93 feet of road frontage, providing plenty of design flexibility for a custom home and outdoor living space.

Furthermore, a check of the CCGIS website confirms the lot is not in a Scrub Jay zone, and according to the National Wetland Inventory Mapper, there are no wetlands showing on the property, insuring an easier, faster, and more cost-effective permitting process when you are ready to build. Tucked just off Golf Course Blvd, the property is situated on an unimproved road and is just barely inaccessible, located a mere three properties in from the paved main road.
