PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES

    The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 297950, living area = 2437.

  • Expansive & Versatile Acreage

    The 6.84-acre property boasts A70 agricultural zoning and an 'L' animal designator, offering exceptional flexibility for various rural enterprises, farming, livestock, vineyards, or orchards, with flat areas for future expansion.

  • Modern & Income-Generating Residence

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES

  • Rural Location & Accessibility

    While scenic, the property's location in Julian, a historic gold-rush town, implies a rural setting that may lack immediate access to extensive urban amenities and services, potentially limiting appeal to certain buyer demographics.

  • Age of Main Residence

    The primary residence was built in 1963. Although described as 'fully upgraded,' the underlying structure's age could lead to concerns about hidden maintenance, energy efficiency, or dated systems not explicitly covered by the upgrades.

  • High Maintenance Demands

    With 6.84 acres, a pond, fruit orchard, and multiple structures (including a large barn and cantina), the property likely requires significant ongoing maintenance and upkeep, which could be a substantial commitment for the new owner.
