Back on market subject to cancellation! Prime home build site in western location with a beautiful ocean view! The original owners lived in the covenant for 12 years, but always dreamed of having an ocean view, having had one in Solana Beach in the 50’s. They found and nabbed this prime lot in 1969 because of its western location, high elevation with a beautiful view of the sea, and fresh onshore breezes. They built their home in 1970 and raised their son and daughter here. Their childhood memories include exploring the wild uncultivated land and riding horseback to the beach! This parcel affords one lucky person a rare opportunity to build their dreamhome – on a secluded site with easy access to all San Diego has to offer.
