About This Property

Imagine this beautiful home built on this extraordinary West Ventura View Lot - 9,147 Sq Ft with Multi-Unit Potential.The house is imaginary and a rendition only to give you an idea of possibilities. Perched on one of West Ventura's high points, this vacant parcel delivers the kind of sweeping, majestic views that rarely come to market.   From morning light to evening sunsets over the ocean, the vantage point and the light here is unmatched - a natural overlook above one of Ventura's most vibrant and evolving districts.Property Highlights**Prime elevated location with extraordinary panoramic views from ocean sunsets to the mountains beyond Ojai, and the green hills of the Taylor Ranch.Flat and gently-sloped terrain combined make it ideal for creative architecture and terraced design.Potential to build up to three units (with city approval).Walkable to Ventura's beaches, the pier, Ventura Botanical Gardens, the local farmer's market, and downtown Ventura with its restaurants, cinema, entertainment, and cultural events.Young adults are drawn to Ventura because of its high quality of life.  They bring with them fresh perspectives, enterprising spirit, a demand for modern amenities, fostering cultural renewal.   As a result, there is a surging demand for inviting housing and vibrant coastal living.Why This Lot Stands Out**This is more than a buildable parcel.   It's a chance to shape a signature project in a location where a coastal lifestyle, pastoral hillside views and urban convenience converge.   As Ventura continues to grow in energy and demand, opportunities for land with these phenomenal qualities become increasingly scarce.Whether you envision building a California bungalow, a luxury view residence, a Spanish-style triplex, or a forward-thinking investment project, this lot offers the canvas and the location to make it happen. According to Planning officials at the City of Ventura, the zoning is R3 and is within the City's Downtown Specific Plan, which overlays the base zoning standards.Note: the approximate boundaries shown in the photos facing the lot from Cedar Street are (1) the fence on the left; and (2) the telephone pole on the right.     The property runs between Cedar Street above and Wall Street below.

This lot is rare and highly desirable for development in West Ventura where Poli Street turns into Cedar Street. The 9,147 sq ft. vacant lot is zoned within the Downtown Specific Plan offering flexibility and potential for new construction that encourages thoughtful growth and urban integration. This is an exceptional opportunity for an individual, investor or developer to build a single-family or multi-family home within walking distance of the historic downtown, the beach, and cultural amenities. Part of the lot is on a hillside that goes down to Wall Street. Enjoy breathtaking sunset views over the Pacific and up the valley to the mountains of Ojai. Unlock the potential of this stunning location in one of Ventura's most sought-after and evolving neighborhoods. Please note the approximate boundaries shown in the photos facing the lot from Cedar Street are (1) the fence on the left; and (2) the telephone pole on the right. The property runs between Cedar Street above and Wall Street below.
