The view is the reason to build here. From this hillside on South Mission Ridge, the land opens to the valley below, with the city spread across the floor and mountain ridgelines layered one behind another on the horizon. Morning light pours over all of it, and by evening the skyline takes the stage. It is the kind of outlook you design an entire house around, and this lot is ready for that house. Much of the early work is already done. The large trees have been cleared, opening the view, and site work is underway: the driveway has been started, the top of the lot has been graded, and a ground study has been completed. A city water line runs from the top of the ridge down between this lot and its neighbor, so a key piece of the build is already in place. At approximately 0.59 acres, the lot is rectangular and sloped, fronting a concrete street among established single-family homes. Zoning is R-1 single-family residential, and there is no HOA, so the builder, the plans, and the style are yours to choose. The slope works in your favor. Set the main living level high to take in the full sweep of the valley, and tuck a walk-out lower level into the grade beneath it. Think of a wall of glass across the great room, a primary suite that wakes up to the ridgeline, and a deep covered porch where the day ends with the city lights coming on below. The property sits outside a designated flood zone, and at this price more of your budget can go where it matters most: the house, the glass, and the view. Stand at the top of the lot and take in the view for yourself. Private showings are available by appointment.
