Opportunity to own a 1.44 acre lot with C2 commercial zoning for a convenience store, restaurant and bar, liquor store, gas station and mini mart, real estate office, RV park and storage, dollar store, car dealership, service station, auto parts store, hotel, self-storage and MANY other uses with the freedom to have a residential house on the property as a secondary structure so you can live on the property while you operate your business, making it great for a family business or corporate opportunity. Within 5 miles, there are 10 national brand companies including Jack in the Box, KFC, Taco Bell, Chevron and Dollar General.

This is the largest lot in the well-developed Vista Del Mar subdivision of Salton City with approximately 829 households and 2,487 residents. It is in a high-traffic location a half mile off Highway 86 with 160,000 passing vehicles per day and has 225 feet of legal street frontage on newly-paved Treadwell Blvd, the main road to enter and exit the community and pass this property to get to and from the highway. Uniquely, there is asphalt street frontage on the north and south side, so three sides of the property have legal street frontage. This 1.44 acre parcel has water service to the property line, power is approximately 225 feet away. A septic system is required and the annual $175 POA fee grants access to a clubhouse, swimming pool and restaurant right on the water. There are also RV hookups available for your use.

At the front of this property is a longstanding “community board” that residents post items for sale, lost and found, and miscellaneous jobs – this land is the commercial and social center of Vista Del Mar.

Also from the images, there was a taco stand and food truck that served the community from this property over the holidays, another indicator of the commercial potential and great location, as the entire community has to drive by it to get to and from Highway 86.

There is a low $175 annual HOA fee that grants access to the clubhouse, swimming pool and restaurant right on the water. There are also RV hookups available
