Property Detail

Description

Rare Conservation Opportunity!!! Exceptional 76-acre landlocked parcel nestled in Alpine’s scenic backcountry, adjacent to the Cleveland National Forest. Known as “Viejas West,” this property features diverse native habitats—oak woodlands, chaparral, sage scrub, riparian areas, and native grasslands—supporting a wide range of sensitive species including San Diego Thornmint, Palmer’s Grappling Hook, San Diego Horned Lizard, Golden Eagles and more. The property, due to its topography, offers dramatic views to the West and contains tributaries to the Peutz Valley Creek watershed. Surrounded by preserved lands and rich in biodiversity, this parcel offers an ideal setting for habitat conservation, restoration, or mitigation banking. With no road access or utilities, the site remains untouched and naturally protected, making it a prime candidate for long-term preservation. The property lies within a biologically significant corridor and may qualify for habitat mitigation credits (buyer to verify with appropriate agencies).
