PROPERTY: Here, wide-open skies, rolling canyon terrain, and sweeping mountain views create a setting that feels worlds away, yet remains remarkably close to city conveniences. A well-graded gravel road runs directly through the property, providing easy access and opening up multiple potential homesite locations. Near the road, you'll find flatter, highly buildable areas that make construction straightforward, all completely free from floodplain concerns. A seasonal creek winds through the land, adding character and a natural draw for local wildlife. Power is also conveniently located nearby-less than 1,400 feet away at the intersection of Castle Peak Road and Scorpion Road-making future development even more attainable.

For Sale by Owner: We are investors, and are selling this lot For-Sale-By-Owner. You do not need to submit your offer through a real estate agent, and in our experience we close transactions more quickly and easily by having our dedicated transaction coordinator work directly with the Title Company and Buyers. We will also both save money on commission/fees by cutting out agents as the middle men. However, if you feel strongly about working with a Realtor, then you're welcome to have them contact us on your behalf.

Why Are You Selling It So Cheap? We are often asked why we price our properties at below market value, and the answer is really simple: because we can, and that's our core business model. We are investors who purchase properties at a large volume and deeply liquidated rates, and by passing this discount on to our buyers, we can sell land quickly...and more of it. In fact, our average property only lasts 2-3 weeks on the market (vs. industry average of about 6 months).

Disclaimer: We attempt to provide detailed, accurate and up-to-date information in our listings, in order to help our buyers to the best of our ability. However, it ultimately remains the buyers responsibility to perform their own due diligence and double check any details that are of significant importance to you including acreage, utilities, buildability, and approved/allowable usage for the property. We are happy to help however we can.
