**Conceptual Three-Lot Residential Development Opportunity**

>>>>>>> A RARE WOODED RETREAT WITH THREE-LOT DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL
5680 San Juan Avenue presents a rare opportunity to acquire approximately 0.817 acres of residential land in Citrus Heights, California. Tucked away from the activity of San Juan Avenue and accessed by an established private paved road, this unique property combines privacy, mature natural beauty, and potential residential development opportunities in the heart of the Sacramento metropolitan area.
Unlike a typical cleared infill parcel, the property offers a remarkable canopy of mature trees, gently varying topography, and a natural creek/drainage corridor. The result is a setting that feels private, peaceful, and significantly different from the typical residential infill site.
Nestled within a sheltered valley, the property benefits from mature shade trees and surrounding hillside terrain that contribute to a naturally sheltered atmosphere. During warmer months, the tree canopy provides shade and may create a cooler-feeling outdoor environment, while the surrounding landscape helps soften exposure to wind and nearby activity.
It is a setting where the feeling of a wooded retreat meets the convenience of an established metropolitan community.
The property consists of approximately 35,589 square feet and is the final parcel within an established private-road setting.
Prior property information indicates the availability of public water, sewer, electricity, natural gas, cable, telephone, and internet services at or near the property, subject to independent buyer verification.
>>>>>> CONCEPTUAL THREE-PARCEL RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT
Preliminary development concepts have been prepared illustrating the potential for a three-parcel residential subdivision. The current concept generally contemplates three individual homesites of approximately 11,800+ square feet each, or approximately 0.27 acres per conceptual parcel.
The preliminary development concept has been designed to work with the natural characteristics of the property and illustrates:
- Three potential residential parcels
- Approximately 0.27 acres per conceptual lot
- One detached single-family residence per lot
- Proposed private internal access road
- Approximately 20-foot-wide private access road concept
- Defined residential building envelopes
- Preservation of the property's mature trees
- Natural creek/drainage corridor
- Conceptual 25-foot creek/drainage no-build setback
- Conceptual bridge/access crossing
- Cul-de-sac/turnaround area
The vision is not simply to divide the land into smaller lots, but to create a boutique collection of distinctive homesites that retain the natural beauty and privacy of the property.
A topographic map is available to assist prospective purchasers, builders, and developers in evaluating the property's contours, potential building locations, and possible access arrangements.
>>>>> A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY FOR A CUSTOM BUILDER OR DEVELOPER
This property may be especially attractive to a custom home builder, boutique residential developer, or investor looking for an opportunity to create something substantially different from a conventional tract development.
The mature trees are among the property's greatest assets. The preliminary concepts contemplate working around the existing landscape, creating the opportunity for a thoughtfully designed residential environment with:
- Mature landscaping from day one
- Privacy between homes
- Wooded and natural views
- A park-like setting
- Larger residential homesites
- A distinctive custom-home environment
- Natural separation from surrounding development
- A private-road setting
- A location that feels secluded while remaining centrally located
A thoughtfully designed project could potentially be positioned as a private, limited collection of custom homes rather than a conventional subdivision.

Tucked into a sheltered valley, the property features a mature tree canopy, surrounding hillside terrain, and a seasonal creek/drainage corridor.
These natural features contribute to a peaceful atmosphere that feels removed from the surrounding metropolitan activity.
The mature shade trees provide natural cover, while the property's topography helps create a sense of privacy and separation. The setting offers an appealing alternative to the exposed, cleared lots commonly found in newer residential developments.
For someone envisioning a custom home, the opportunity to build within an established natural landscape is a particularly attractive feature.

The property is located within the San Juan Unified School District, which offers an open-enrollment process that allows families to apply to schools beyond their assigned neighborhood campus, subject to district policies, availability, and approval.
This provides families with an opportunity to explore educational environments and programs that may better fit their children's needs.
Prospective buyers should independently verify school attendance boundaries, enrollment requirements, program availability, and transportation arrangements directly with the respective schools and district.

>>> NATURAL CHARACTER THAT CANNOT BE REPLACED
One of the most valuable aspects of 5680 San Juan Avenue is the natural character of the land itself.
The property's mature trees, changing topography, and creek/drainage corridor create a setting that would be difficult and costly to recreate in a new development.

- Natural privacy
- A private access environment
- A distinctive custom-home setting
- Proximity to major shopping and services
- Access to Sacramento and Roseville employment centers

Rather than beginning with a cleared, conventional development site, a future project could take advantage of the property's existing natural character to create a more distinctive residential environment.
>>>>THE OPPORTUNITY
