About 1698 Vista Del Mar Drive
Vista Del Mar...the street that lives up to its name with beautiful panoramic ocean and Channel Islands views and a short walk to the beach. Possibilities abound with this tear-down 1-story SFR on a large 50 x 175 ocean view site with large flat pad. Build your dream property here and enjoy panoramic ocean, coastline, and Channel Islands views from this beautiful southwest-facing location overlooking San Buenaventura State Beach and the beautiful Pacific Ocean. Easy and quick access (a 0.4 mile walk/ride) down the northwest end of Vista del Mar Drive to the beach and beach bike path offers the full beach lifestyle experience. Walk, jog, or bike to San Buenaventura State Beach, Ventura Promenade and pier, Pierpont Beach, the marina, downtown Ventura. The home is in extremely poor overall condition, entirely boarded, and condemned by the city. The home is deemed to be a tear-down and the foundation appears to be masonry with numerous cracks noted. Tax rolls call it a 3/1. Visual inspection revealed 3/2 with one of the 3 bedrooms being in tandem with another bedroom, with its own 3/4 bath and a direct outside entrance. A family room is in tandem off the other bedroom, so functionally I'd call the house a 2-bedroom in its current configuration. Utility meters appear to be present but not active/operating and will NOT be activated/turned on. Sold as-is. Buyers to independently verify all aspects of the buildability of this site with the respective state and local government agencies including but not limited to Coastal Commission and City/County of Ventura. There are active railroad tracks that run behind Vista Del Mar Drive, and the 101 Freeway is approximately 100 yards to the west. Exterior inspections only, at this time.
