Another Temecula Builder folds it’s tent-Morgan hill

[TemekuT]

Careful, these are not prime locations.

http://www.redfin.com/CA/Temecula/33965-…although it has no neighbors across, behind, or to one side, but it’s next to Tony Tobin elementary school. Be prepared for the daily line-up of SUV’s dropping off and picking kids up constantly, as they congregate in front of this house and all over this street. Plus, you get the experience of noise, lots of it, all day and even in the evening.

http://www.redfin.com/CA/Temecula/44751-… forego the view here, as this is the most common entry point into Artessa and Cristal and this house is the 3rd from the corner. You get to experience the SUV raceway effect, plus, most occupants here don’t park in the garages and have several cars, so the street is cluttered and kids tend to shoot out from behind the cars.

If you want a view, wait for something on Mumm Street, or go up on the cul-de-sac Pegase. You can also get a view on Star Hill and parts of Silver Rose.

Or, pay $100K more and pick up a FC at Blackstone on the other side of Morgan Hill. There are some great bargains there and more coming up in the low 400’s, plus the lots are larger and more separated.

Temeculaguy and assorted Temecula experts,

I am looking at a property just outside the Temecula area. Off of east Benton near sage. I know this is far from the hub of Temecula (10 miles east) but we need land to run my wife’s horseback trail riding business through the wineries. We have 18 horses that need the room.

My question is what do you think these more remote places will do in the near future? This place is on 10 flat acres, good well water and a simple 2200 sf home for the high 200s. Not a lot of comps to do a proper comparison but I know there are a lot of dreamers out this way trying to get a million$ for properties on 5 acres or less. If anyone knows the area south of Lake Skinner and east of Glen oaks out east benton all the way to Sage road I would appreciate your input.

I would be a long term owner and plan on staying at least 10 years or for ever even…

Thanks for your input.

Thanks bervine and TemekuT.

We are in our mid-late 40s, and want to have a “part-time” place somewhere in SD area. I realize Temecula is Riverside Co. and sort of the middle of nowhere, but I’ve been through there many times through the years (it has really grown), and much of the year it is a very pleasant place to be. I golf (poorly) maybe 6 times a year. One of my concerns is that new, high quality construction in the best locations are all McMansions. Not everyone needs 3500+ square feet house. We would prefer the extra $ go to quality, location and privacy, instead of extra feet. Seriously, 1220-1500 quality “bones” and location is much better than McMansion and/or “good” schools we aren’t using.

We are paying cash. I don’t mind a “fixer”, so long as the price reflects the cash needed to “fix” (plus a premium for the effort). Short sale or foreclosure is OK – we are in no hurry. I also have been watching the discussions on this board regarding whether the RE crash will convert nice neighborhoods into not so nice ones.

I will be down there late next week (at conference at Rancho Bernardo), and plan to take a few hours to drive around. Red Hawk is on the agenda (can I get in without a “host”). We prefer quiet. Not close to any schools. I want to hear birds or the occasional golfer cursing; not traffic. Too much land means too much upkeep. The gated versus non-gated is only an issue because we may not be in town for months at a time.

I hate to say this, but I probably should work with a realtor (I hated saying that), since we are out of the area. Any recommendations? (I already regret saying that, too). I like some of the realtors that post on this site, especially SD REALTOR (Adam), but I don’t think he works up in Temecula. I like Jim the Realtor, too, but again he does not work this turf. Someone of that temperment.

(Yes, I am a patent attorney. Yes, not a very clever moniker).

tle, if you can get in the 2’s or even low 3’s out there, just do it, the million plus stuff has been taking a beating but horse property is very unique, I have so little experience I can barely give advice other than getting land for tract prices, that is a go in my book.

Patent-Redhawk in general is open to the public as is the golf course, there are a few gated tracts within redhawk but most is open. I have to say, with what you are looking for, bear creek might be a beeter choice, or even canyon lake. Maybe just go to San Diego itself, say carlsbad or something. 400k for 1200-1500 sq ft. is not why you come to temecula, I honestly cant think of anything that fits that bill. Smaller places are often not as nice and old bones usually means large lot out here. This is my favorite weekender house in redhawk http://www.redfin.com/CA/Temecula/45443-Callesito-Altar-92592/home/6253916 and you can walk to the bar.

For a low maintenance, smaller, weekend place, I reccomend this tract of triplexes.

http://www.redfin.com/CA/Temecula/33599-Winston-Way-92592/unit-B/home/12509159

but not that unit, get one that overlooks the creek, all you can hear is frogs, and get one with a driveway, most have a two car driveway and a 2 car garage, the one I linked doesn’t have a driveway. They have a high hoa but a low tax rate so it balances out, they take care of the yardwork and it is within redhawk, will only set you back 200k and will rent easily for 1500 if you go that route ever. Most occupants are 40-60 but there are no rules about age, it just doesn’t appeal to the monster truck crowd. It is also gated.

This one went pending for 177k, but not the best location within the complex.

http://www.redfin.com/CA/Temecula/41260-Ashton-Cir-92592/unit-B/home/12264528

If you really want to spend 400k cash, buy 2 and rent one out.
