The home

About 259 Via Ballena

Ocean View and Golf Course View lot! This is a blank slate to build your dream home. This lot is located in the beautiful Shorecliffs

community. The location is superb and is close to the beach, San Clemente pier and restaurants and has easy freeway access. A tear down a few doors down, just closed for 200k. Homes in the ShoreCliffs can go for 800k or more so this is a GREAT DEAL! Buyer to conduct their own investigations and check with the city for building codes and restrictions. Other homes and lots in the area have been damaged due to hillside geological issues. This lot may have geological issues so the buyer should conduct their own investigations and consult the proper experts and do the proper reports/inspections. There may be a restriction in this neighborhood that only allows single story homes to be built. Shorecliff owners also have a private beach club (actually on the beach!) offering residents basketball, tennis, barbeques and a club house with a kitchen. There was a house on this lot before that was torn down by a previous owner who may have had plans to build a new home. Utilities probably present. A geosoil and/or geotechnical report will be required before the city can approve plans for building. Seller and agent make no warranties.
