Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is land value only, full reconstruction required.
Built in 1957 with no significant renovations reported, the listing explicitly states the structure is in poor condition and best suited for a tear-down. The property's value is based on the 24,306 sqft lot and its R2 zoning development potential rather than the existing 1,092 sqft building, which lacks legal road access and modern sewage systems.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- Significant Development Potential
The property features a substantial 24,306 square foot lot recently rezoned to R2, providing a prime opportunity for multi-unit residential development in a transitioning area.
- Strategic Investment Upside
Located in a city-identified growth zone, the property includes partial road ownership, offering potential for a future municipal buyout as the city connects Thornburg to Depot.
- Large Parcel Size
At over half an acre, the lot size is significantly larger than standard residential parcels in the area, allowing for flexible site planning and high-density project designs.
CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- MLS Listing Discrepancy
Lot size discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing lot size in square feet =24306, other record lot size in square feet = 40510.
- Poor Structure Condition
The existing 1957 structure is in poor condition and likely requires a complete tear-down, adding immediate demolition costs and complexity to the acquisition.
- Access and Infrastructure Hurdles
The property relies on an implied easement for access via a dirt road and currently utilizes a septic system, which may complicate financing and modern development requirements.
About 413 West Street
Unique Investment Opportunity - Zoned R2 with Future Development Potential. This is a rare opportunity for a buyer with vision and patience. Located in an area the City of Santa Maria has identified for future development, this property was previously zoned M1 and is now designated R2. The current use is grandfathered under the prior M1 zoning; however, any new use must comply with the current R2 zoning regulations. Buyers are encouraged to verify zoning and development plans directly with the City of Santa Maria. West Street is a private road. The dirt road from Thornburg is technically not a legal easement. It is an implied easement. All residence have always used the dirt road to access their properties. The lot is approximately 24,306 square feet per recent legal split (records available), though public records still reflect a larger 40,510 square foot parcel. The property includes a 1,092 square foot structure built in 1957 on a slab foundation. The building is in poor condition and may be best suited for tear-down. Utilities include city water, natural gas, and septic system. This is an excellent opportunity to invest in a transitioning neighborhood with long-term upside potential. Please note: attached is a City Map which shows the property line goes through half the road. So this means that this property owner owns part of the road. When the City decides to develop that road which will eventually go from Thornburg to Depot, there is the potential that the City may need to buy this part of the road from this property owner.
