The property also includes a detached cottage with a new roof, currently used for storage but offering potential to convert back to an ADU if the septic system is reactivated. Recent improvements include brand-new flooring and new attic insulation, while a spacious concrete circular driveway, carport, and ±450 sqft storage space provide ample functionality. The grounds feature an abundance of fruit trees and plants, including oranges, lemons, grapes, persimmons, pomegranate, plum, olives, apples, walnuts and wild berries.
