Description

Once in a lifetime opportunity to become the next proprietor of 38 sprawling acres tucked away in its own hidden valley next to Chaminade Resort. It is so rare to find this level of seclusion and privacy while still being in town. The property has 5 parcels with a vast expanse of sunny acreage offering views, solitude, and incredible potential. Preliminary Rural Density Matrix suggests up to 4 potential building sites. An existing vintage cottage is set on a 1.88 acre parcel. The remaining 36+ acres...Once in a lifetime opportunity to become the next proprietor of 38 sprawling acres tucked away in its own hidden valley next to Chaminade Resort. It is so rare to find this level of seclusion and privacy while still being in town. The property has 5 parcels with a vast expanse of sunny acreage offering views, solitude, and incredible potential. Preliminary Rural Density Matrix suggests up to 4 potential building sites. An existing vintage cottage is set on a 1.88 acre parcel. The remaining 36+ acres are zoned RA. Property borders Chaminade to the West and Vacant Land (RA-D- Designated Park Site) to the North and East. For an end-user, this rare offering of acreage- so close to town -could be transformed into a legacy estate with the right vision and craftsmanship. For a savvy investor or luxury home builder, this could be the rare gem for which you have been searching. Not to be missed. PRIVATE ROAD- Please do not drive by- showings by appointment only, please do not disturb occupants.
