About this property
Experience the charm of old-world California just as it was over 100 years ago—offering a rare sense of seclusion while still being only minutes from modern conveniences. Approximately 10.03-acres, this exceptional parcel is nestled within the prestigious ranch community of Decker Canyon and directly borders National Forest land, providing unmatched privacy, natural beauty, and endless outdoor exploration. The property offers a unique opportunity to create your ideal lifestyle, including the potential to drill your own private well for a self-sustaining water source. Nearby Edison power lines make it easy to establish utilities, or take advantage of the setting to design a fully off-grid, solar-powered retreat. Conveniently located just 27 miles from Dana Point beaches, 21 miles to shopping and dining in Rancho Mission Viejo, only 2.6 miles to Hafey Farms Mountain Market, and 8.3 miles to Lake Elsinore, this property strikes the perfect balance between peaceful rural living and accessibility. Access is simple via a short drive from Ortega Highway along a paved easement road that transitions to well-maintained dirt. The terrain features a desirable mix of gentle slopes, usable flat areas, and some steeper sections—ideal for a variety of uses. The decomposed granite (DG) soil provides excellent stability and usability. Zoned RR (Rural Residential) for Riverside County, the property allows for a wide range of potential uses, making it perfect for a custom ranch estate, family compound, weekend retreat, or even a private getaway or preparedness property. Enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of the Ortega Mountains, abundant wildlife, native flora, and the serenity of true California wilderness. This is a rare opportunity to own a private slice of nature without sacrificing convenience. ** 9 other congruent parcels are for sale (17.04 ACRE) as well. MLS #OC26064610
