Property is land value only, full reconstruction required.
The MLS description explicitly states that the main house has 'extensive fire damage and needs to be rebuilt from the ground up,' rendering it unlivable in its current condition. This aligns with the 'tear-down' criteria, where the structure is beyond repair and the property's value is primarily based on the land and redevelopment potential. The presence of an unpermitted guest casita and pool does not offset the severe damage to the main dwelling. The provided images are aerial and exterior, confirming the large lot but offering no details to contradict the described severe damage.
The property features a very large lot of 199,940 sqft, offering significant potential for privacy, extensive landscaping, and future development or expansion.
Boasting panoramic canyon and mountain views, this highly desirable feature enhances the property's appeal and potential value.
A 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom guest casita provides immediate, albeit unpermitted, living space or potential for rental income during the main house reconstruction.
The primary dwelling has extensive fire damage and requires a complete rebuild from the ground up, representing a substantial and costly undertaking for the buyer.
