Vista Del Mar...the street that lives up to its name with beautiful panoramic ocean and Channel Islands views and a short walk to the beach. Please read these UPDATED REMARKS carefully and throughy BEFORE calling listing broker and/or submitting an offer. Possibilities abound with this tear-down 1-story SFR on a large 50 x 175 ocean view site with large flat pad. Build your dream property here and enjoy panoramic ocean, coastline, and Channel Islands views from this beautiful southwest-facing location overlooking San Buenaventura State Beach and the beautiful Pacific Ocean. Easy and quick access (a 0.4 mile walk/ride) down the northwest end of Vista del Mar Drive to the beach and beach bike path offers the full beach lifestyle experience. Walk, jog, or bike to San Buenaventura State Beach, Ventura Promenade and pier, Pierpont Beach, the marina, downtown Ventura. The home is in extremely poor overall condition, entirely boarded, and condemned by the city. The home is deemed to be a tear-down and the foundation appears to be masonry with numerous cracks noted. CITY OF VENTURA WILL REQUIRE A COMPLETE FOUNDATION REPLACEMENT! Also, will very likely need complete sewer line replacment. Tax rolls call it a 3/1. Visual inspection revealed 3/2 with one of the 3 bedrooms being in tandem with another bedroom, with its own 3/4 bath and a direct outside entrance. A family room is in tandem off the other bedroom, so functionally I'd call the house a 2-bedroom in its current configuration. Utility meters appear to be present but not active/operating and will NOT be activated/turned on. Sold as-is. Buyers to independently verify all aspects of the buildability of this site with the respective state and local government agencies including but not limited to Coastal Commission and City/County of Ventura. There are active railroad tracks that run behind Vista Del Mar Drive, and the 101 Freeway is approximately 100 yards to the west. Exterior inspections only, at this time.
Property is land value only, full reconstruction required.
Built in 1947 and over 75 years old with no renovations, this property is officially condemned by the city and boarded up. It exhibits significant structural foundation cracks and inactive utilities, with the listing explicitly identifying it as a tear-down for land value only.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 8276, living area = 1772.
The property boasts exceptional southwest-facing views of the Pacific Ocean, Channel Islands, and coastline, providing a premium backdrop for a future luxury build.
Situated just 0.4 miles from the beach and bike paths, the site offers easy access to San Buenaventura State Beach, the Ventura Pier, and downtown amenities.
The existing structure is condemned, boarded, and in extremely poor condition with foundation issues, requiring a complete demolition and significant investment.
Proximity to active railroad tracks directly behind the property and the 101 Freeway just 100 yards away may result in persistent noise disturbances.
