Shenandoah Rd abuts the Mountain Of Attention and about 90% of the parcels there are owned by devotees. Due to the proximity of this property to the Sanctuary, it would be most auspicious to buffer our sacred land with devotee residents.

There was a home here that burned in the Valley Fire in 2015. Many improvements remain to be enjoyed by a new owner who chooses to develop the property, including grading, a water line connection and an enlarged building pad.

There is a level building pad where the previous home was situated, which was a manufactured home, so that is a building option. It is large enough for two sizable homes as well as plenty of room for garden space or a garage.

The lot is sloping which gives the advantage of a panoramic view to the west overlooking the neighborhood towards Letting Go Mountain above the Sanctuary.

The septic system has been inspected by the County following the Valley Fire and conditionally approved for ongoing use. It is sized for three bedrooms, but that could be expanded by adding additional leach field capacity. To replace a system like this now would be in the range of $12,000 or more.

There is an existing water connection to the local water district. This is a savings of a $6,500 connection fee.

In addition, the plans for two manufactured homes are available. The footings have already been dug; another sizable savings.

A new home can be built of up to 1,940 square feet without incurring normal school district building fees. This is a saving of $6,300. So in addition to the creation of the building pad, there is up to $27,800 in improvements, while not immediately visible are valuable savings on the cost of development. In addition a secondary dwelling unit can be built on the property of up to 720 sf.

Next to the building pad rocks have been moved and placed creating a natural landscaping feature that also helps to stabilize the bank and frames the site where the home would be, alternatively they can be used as a landscaping material on the property.

All the parcels in this subdivision are at least half an acre so there is a good amount of space around the homes for privacy, and there are a lot of native trees that survived the fire or have regenerated since then.

There is a very active Fire Safe community program in the neighborhood so that an incident as destructive as the Valley Fire has been well mitigated against and is therefore unlikely to occur.

There is a gravel driveway, below the building pad, that has been used to access additional storage buildings and additional parking.

This is an opportunity for a devotee to secure a readily buildable parcel of land in the sought-after devotee village around the Mountain Of Attention as a way of continuing to protect the Sanctuary and as an attractive place to build.

The asking price for the property is $39,500.
