Property Description
9874 River Dr., Descanso – 7.82-Acre Adobe Estate with untapped Potential! Discover a rare opportunity to own nearly 8 acres in the heart of Descanso's scenic valley. This sprawling 3,837 sq. ft. adobe home, built in 1974, offers vaulted wood-beamed ceilings, idyllic valley views, and expansive living spaces ready for transformation. The single-story layout features three oversized bedrooms, a dedicated spa room (4th bedroom?), back office (next to garage), and a four-car garage. The property includes an unused well for irrigation, municipal water, and a previously permitted hay barn that could be rebuilt.

Pastoral landscapes, breathtaking sunsets, and a peaceful rural atmosphere define this idyllic yet accessible location—just minutes from I-8 and downtown El Cajon. This is an estate in need of renewal, offering tremendous value for those with vision and creativity. A true blank canvas, waiting for the right owner to restore its charm and unlock its potential.
