Land parcels – Encinitas

[SandraL]

I would love to get some thoughts on small land parcels in the North County area around Encinitas.

I would like to return to San Diego to build a home (currently live in LA.) Looking for a parcel in the .25 acre range (view not required, but want to stay within 2 miles of coast.) The ones that I find for sale are either too small or unsuitable for my needs. Using Google Earth I’ve identified a couple of land parcels that look like they might fit the bill – neither are listed for sale. Would it be sheer folly to hunt down the owners of these lots and make them an offer? It would be a low one – I frankly can’t afford to buy in this area but there is always a chance that somebody is desperate as we hit hard times….

Opinions?

It’s worth a trip to the assessor’s office to find the status of the parcels and who owns them. You will need to work through them (and maybe the coastal commission) when you build and they have all the parcel owner info.

You might get lucky with a parcel, give it a shot!

I agree with Nostra. When my wife built a home in Ramona back in the 90’s she sent a ton of unsolicited letters to landowners. Nothing really panned out for her but she followed that strategy that Nostra pointed out.

True deal hunting takes ALOT of legwork and there really is not a magic substitute.

You may not be able to buy in this area now but in a few years you may be able to. In the meantime keep banking cash.

My wife and I found some realitively nice lots just off the freeway a while back, decided against it because we live near a freeway now and it is not conducive to a good nights sleep. No experience here about building but I wouldn’t attempt it unless you have a lot of cash and patience. Encinitas is a beautiful area and is not ruled out for us.
