    What's special

    DO NOT MISS OUT on this rare opportunity to own 7.61 acres in the beautiful mountains of Riverside, just 5 minutes from the city. First time on the market in almost 50 years. Home has been owned by the same family since 1975. Cute and comfortable 1616 square foot, 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom home with wood burning rock fireplace, received new dual pane windows and new septic system in the past few years. With almost 8 acres there is plenty of room to build your own custom estate. This property was once a thriving 450 tree avocado ranch for decades with vendors throughout the Riverside community under the name of Foggy Mountain Ranch. Many of the stumps have started to grow again due to their solid root systems. With a little water and care these avocado trees could start producing. There are additional trees on the property, such as apples, lemon, grapefruit, loquat, oranges, plum that need a little love to start producing fruit again. Home is on city water, but there are 2 wells on the additional parcels that might be able to be restored to working order. Enjoy country style living in your city home with open space, peace and quiet, and feeling of tranquility. On any given day you may get occasional visits from the wild “Burros”. Take in the beautiful views over-looking downtown Riverside from atop the property’s hilltop including amazing 4th of July fireworks displays. Close to schools, shopping, medical services and freeway access. 7.61 acres include the following APN NO: 257-080-010, 251-130-001, 251-120-004. Make an appointment to see your new home today!
