I just bought this 10 acres in Anza Ca. I'm standing on Anza Borrego state park and looking down on my spread as it backs up next to the state park. The first rain we had in months in S. Calif. and its the day I took this picture. Escrow closes in 45 days, I cant wait till I call it mine . I just may die here. Dan

incredible.

Beautiful, congratulations!

Nice... very nice. You gonna build on it?

where they putting the Wal-Mart and car dealerships?

Beautiful area, Anza. In the middle of everything: couple of hours to LA, San Diego, mountains, beach, desert. Yet remote, too.

Doesn't the land drop off just east of Anza straight down to Borrego Springs?

DAPPERDAN

i just did a search and found a lot of sites with pictures and general information, and as always, i bought something at the gift shop online.

two hours or so from san diego, home of felipes pizza on india street in down town san diego. we've driven from whittier to san diego just for the pizza.

with ten acres you may not want a full lawn, perhaps a small one with the rest a rock garden.

toby and i spent ten years at parker, arizona, similar area, and when i looked at your picture, i wanted a beer and a cigar.

it is a pleasure knowing you will be living in someplace as beautiful as that.

anyone got a match?????

remember only u can prevent wildfires

Congrats on your purchase Dan! Got a few acres in Williams AZ that looks a lot like your plot.

drnos, you have all the info right. There's a dirt road that goes down to Borrego, drops 5000 ft. to sea level. The Pacific crest trail is off that , that's the trail that goes from Mexico to Canada.I just purchased this as a future home site , way future, but I plan on spending time up there in my motor home.

Rick, My dad is retired LAPD,his brother was also LAPD and has lived in the same house in Whittier as long as I can remember, maybe your neighbors, stranger things have happened.

How far is this from S-2,Hwy 76 or the turn off H-76 that goes to BS?

X,Just over them mountains. I'm faceing southeast. The mountains you see far off on the outherside of them is S 2 on this side theres a dirt road that goes down to BS. They closes it off during bighornsheep migration . you have a 4X4 to use it. To my back just down the road is hwy 371,it ends in garner valley.If you go left you go to Idlewild Mt San Jacinto if you go right you drop down to palm desert. I have a home in fallbrook and own a bussiness in palm desert so this in the middle of the two. I take 15 to 79 to 371 from san diego. If you stay on 79 south you run into S 2. Dan

I see a great spot for my tent!

Beautiful, congrats.

Topped for Troy

This was my land, LOL. I still own it but it's now one of my best friends home so I can go hang there any time and enjoy it and he makes the payment.LOL( I did put his name on the title)

The story as I said on Troys post:

Troy, I hear what your saying about the "other things to consider" a couple years ago I purchased 11 acres in Anza Ca. It is high desert between San Diego and Palm Springs. I live in San Diego and own my business in Palm Desert so it was the perfect place for a land investment. I did not need 11 acres and it is splitable to 5. My best friend wanted a place for a home and had no money. I told him he could buy half and we would split. Well he started his house, well and septic first. We got a killer well in, 25,000 cost. The septic was and is the problem. We got it to perk test for one site (a lot of rock on the land) but could not find another place that would perk for a second home site. At least it perked for one or we would be sitting on land you could not build on like the lot next to you. (ALWAYS do a perk test before you buy) We could share the well and maybe even the septic system but at this point the county is making WAY too much red tape to do a split. So the bottom line is we own a home together. LOL. I have a nice house myself so I will probably just sell out to him when he can afford to buy me out. He just moved in, a small modular home with a beautiful view on 11 acres.He and his wife are very happy. So it worked out I helped my best friend get a home. That is actually a great reward in it self. I may try and find another parcel after he gets all his financing squared away. Oh I paid 120 k for the 11 acres, no power ,no well, no PERK TEST, LOL. We had to bring in everything. we have 300 K in it and should be worth about 390 k . so not a bad investment but a lot of work. so I know were your coming from . CONGRATULATIONS on your new home, it's almost done ! LOL

Dan

Congrats - nothing like having your own piece of heaven- great view

At this point I really feel like it's my friends now but like I say I feel very blessed that I helped him make his dream come true.

Is that anywhere near Victorville?

Yep. Dan passes by my house on his way to work and home.

Sometimes he even stops in for a smoke and a drink.

I live right off 79S.
