Built in 1977 (49 years old).
Condition: The property was built in 1977, making it 47 years old. The visible interiors, such as the living room with its wood-paneled vaulted ceiling, exposed beam, and brick fireplace, along with the carpeted bedrooms and dated built-in cabinetry, are consistent with its age and show no signs of recent extensive renovation. The property analysis explicitly notes that the homes are 'over 45 years old, likely requiring significant modernization and updates to interiors, systems, and finishes.' Crucially, there are no images provided for the kitchen or bathrooms, which strongly suggests these key areas are original or very dated and would require substantial renovation to meet current quality and style standards. While the home is described as 'comfortable,' the necessary updates go beyond minor repairs and would constitute substantial rehabilitation to bring the property up to contemporary expectations.

About this home

Over 22 acres on the Zanja with two single family homes, 555 water shares, two separate entrances and a workshop - this unique property presents an incredible opportunity! Located less than 10 minutes from the Mentone Stater Bros and conveniently set back off of Highway 38, this property offers privacy and serenity while not being too far removed from your everyday needs. When you drive down the main entrance, you're surrounded by lush landscaping, tremendous fully green trees, and the sound of water rushing through the Zanja. Head to your right for the main house. This comfortable home is a three bedroom, two bathroom with an attached two car garage. A deck coming off the living room looks over the water. Around the corner is a shop space. Head back down the driveway, and you'll find a completely separate and secluded three bedroom second home with its own two car garage. There is a gorgeous hillside, at the southern section of the property, with expansive views that include the San Gorgonio mountain area to the north and east and the sweeping valley to the west. This section of the property has it's own access off of Zanja View Dr. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone looking for a serene escape with a second home for the whole family, or for someone seeking creative development opportunities. It's located in the excellent Redlands School District, and is not far from the 10 and 210 freeways.

Pros & Cons

Pros

High Available Lot Utilization: The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 984891, living area = 2850.
Expansive Acreage & Development Potential: Over 22 acres with multiple access points and a hillside section, offering significant potential for subdivision, creative development, or agricultural use.
Dual Single-Family Homes: Features two separate 3-bedroom homes, each with its own garage and entrance, providing exceptional flexibility for multi-generational living, rental income, or guest accommodations.
Valuable Water Rights: The inclusion of 555 water shares on the Zanja is a rare and significant asset, ensuring water access and adding substantial long-term value, especially in California.
Private & Scenic Waterfront Setting: Nestled on the Zanja with lush landscaping, mature trees, and the soothing sound of rushing water, offering a serene and private escape from urban life.
Diverse & Expansive Views: Boasts desirable creek/stream views from the main house deck, complemented by panoramic mountain (San Gorgonio) and sweeping valley views from the southern hillside.

Cons

Age of Structures: Built in 1977, both homes are over 45 years old, likely requiring significant modernization and updates to interiors, systems, and finishes to meet contemporary buyer expectations.
Extensive Property Maintenance: The vast 22+ acre lot with lush landscaping and two separate residences will demand substantial ongoing maintenance, potentially incurring significant time and financial investment for the owner.
Modest Home Sizes Relative to Price/Acreage: With a total of 2850 sqft for two 3-bedroom homes on over 22 acres at a nearly $3M price point, the existing residences may be considered modest in size, suggesting the primary value lies in the land and water rights rather than the structures themselves.
