Rare opportunity in Rancho Japatul Estates to purchase a highly improved 4.2-acre homesite with much of the preliminary work already completed. Set in the scenic Japatul Valley area of Alpine, the property offers exceptional privacy, expansive panoramic views, dramatic sunsets, and a beautiful rural setting surrounded by custom homes and equestrian properties. Plans have been developed for a 2,652 sq. ft. Rustic Mediterranean-style main residence featuring arches and large windows designed to take advantage of the views, plus an approximately 299 sq. ft. attached garage and 745 sq. ft. of covered patio area. The site has also been graded to accommodate a proposed approximately 1,200 sq. ft. ADU and a separate approximately 1,296 sq. ft. workshop/garage. Significant infrastructure and development work has already been completed. A well has been drilled producing approximately 27 GPM, with a 3 HP Goulds 10GS30 pump and Franklin motor installed. Septic layout for the main residence and ADU has been approved, with permit fees reportedly paid. Rough grading has been completed, and the graded banks have been hydroseeded with irrigation installed as part of the grading sign-off process. House and garage plans have undergone County review and corrections and are positioned for resubmittal and completion of the permitting process. Included plans and materials provide a substantial head start toward creating a custom country estate, family compound, or private retreat in one of Alpine’s most desirable rural settings.
