Set the main house deep off the street, then place the guest house far enough out that guests never hear you. Build your resort pool and spa, summer kitchen, tennis court, garage for the collection, staff quarters, and still open green lawn on all four sides. Privacy is the whole point of this parcel: wrapped in mature landscaping, no shared wall, no neighbor's window looking in, no HOA and no architectural committee deciding what you may and may not build. High, dry and buildable, utilities at the street, and nothing standing on it to tear down first you start clean. Survey, folio and a full zoning summary available on request, and the listing agent will walk the boundaries with you personally. Land of this size, with this much privacy, does not come back to market when it sells it disappears for a generation. Buyer to verify zoning, density, setbacks and all permitted uses with the city prior to closing. Private showings by appointment only. Call listing agent to arrange access.
