Property Description
This is a unique opportunity to own what was a Commercial Retreat on 210-acres of pristine forest, meadows, streams, redwoods, wildlife & hiking trails. The Wildwood Conservation Foundation ran this Retreat Center, making it available to people & groups for seminars, workshops & family reunions. The problem arose when the county PRMD code violations department concluded there were no permits for any of the structures built, or for the use as a retreat, with the exception of the pool & pool house having permits, & arguably the original mid-century modern house now referred to as the Commons Building' being built prior to permits being required. Everything else will need to be demo'd or brought to current code to satisfy the code violations recorded. That would likely be cost prohibitive, not financially viable. The easiest path is to resolve all the code violations by demo'ing the non-permitted structure, putting a new septic in & turning this beautiful property back into a residential home without pursuing any commercial use going forward. That's what is being offered here now, not a potential commercial retreat. All permitting issues will need to be resolved by a new owner after they buy the property. The list price is substantially below market value for that reason.
