SUMMARY
This historic Ranchita property is known as the Montezuma Honor Camp. It housed workers that built the S-2, Montezuma Valley Road, leading down the glass elevator into Borrego Springs that opened in 1964. This home is surrounded by the same rock work that you see down the grade. With 3 beds/2 baths, a 2,700 sq.ft double door garage, several outbuildings and views into the San Ysidro Mountains, you'll agree it is a unique property! This home is fully fenced and gated, and offers seclusion and peace amongst nature. There is a solar system that is paid in full, additional mobile home on the land and parking for dozens of vehicles. Call me today for more information.
