This tract is part of the broader Tierra Escondida acreage-estate concept, a private ranchette-style land plan centered around privacy, space, and high-quality rural living. With approximately 16 acres, the property provides ample room for a custom home, guest house, barn, shop, pool, garden, livestock, recreational use, or long-term land investment. Tierra Escondida has been planned as a private, large-acreage community with substantial existing road, drainage, access, and site work already completed or underway within the overall project. The south tracts are positioned to offer the privacy and flexibility of a standalone acreage tract while still benefiting from the identity and future upside of the Tierra Escondida development.
