The Arietta house was purchased 03/20/05 for $1,069,000. Refied out to $1,170,000 the next year. NOD posted 05/08/08, past due $18,151. I didn’t check into the Riverside Co. Tax Collector site, but I bet there’s a fair amount of unpaid taxes. The owner is an agent. He’s been trying to sell this house for a year at least. The last comp on Arietta was the REO Hendrix Montescastro villa, which finally sold at $810,000 a few months ago. The active listing is much nicer than the Montecastro home.

Frogs Leap and Arietta is a lovely neighborhood. The houses are huge single level at 5000 sq. ft. average.
