The property maintains a Fair Condition Rating (50/100), suggesting the property is in acceptable condition with potential for value enhancement through selective updates and improvements. Located in a high-demand neighborhood within the Chula Vista Unified School District, this asset is categorized as a low-risk, high-reward acquisition suitable for both Buy-and-Hold Investors and Owner-Occupants willing to undertake light renovation work.
Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property is a 1959 ranch-style home that has undergone recent cosmetic maintenance, including fresh exterior and interior paint, new carpeting, and a new garage door. While the home appears clean and functional, the interior features—such as the built-in cabinetry and simple fixtures—remain dated and reflect the original construction era. Although the listing's primary value lies in its 4.88-acre development potential for up to 12 homes, the existing structure is well-maintained for its age and remains in habitable, fair condition.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 109771, living area = 1362.
Spanning 4.88 acres across two parcels, the property is designated for Residential Low Medium use, allowing for the development of up to 12 view homes, offering massive upside for investors.
Situated in the desirable El Rancho Del Rey community, the site offers ocean views and is positioned near high-performing schools, significantly increasing the marketability of future residential units.
While the general plan supports 12 homes, any shift toward multi-family development requires City Council approval, which introduces potential delays and entitlement risks.
The existing 1,362 sqft home built in 1959 is modest compared to the $2.5M asking price, making the purchase almost entirely dependent on successful land development rather than the current dwelling's value.
Two parcels sold together for total of 4.88 acres. Located in the planned community of El Rancho Del Rey, the property consists of two parcels. There is a house on one of the parcels. City of Chula Vista said the General Plan designation is Residential Low Medium allowing up to 6-homes on each parcel for a total of 12 view homes. Multi-family would require City Council approval. Fully fenced with existing home on site (painted, new garage door and other improvements made). SEE AERIAL VIDEO
