About 23855 Japatul Valley
Over 10 acres across two contiguous parcels in Alpine, including a substantial 8.53-acre rear parcel with elevated canyon views. An existing home on the front 2.37-acre parcel provides immediate use while you evaluate long-term possibilities. The land rises to overlook Horse Thief Canyon, with a seasonal creek running through the lower portion, attracting wildlife and enhancing the natural setting. The property includes historical elements such as Native American manos and metates, stone walls, and remnants of early farm use, reflecting the areas past as a stagecoach route. The residence is 1,191 sq ft (2 bedrooms + office/study) with open living space, high ceilings, large windows, custom cabinetry, and a wraparound porch. Utilities and infrastructure include a private well, two 5000-gallon holding tanks (one designated for fire department use), fire hydrant, whole-house generator, and a shed with electricity. Recent upgrades include new roof (2025), furnace (2026), and septic system (2018). Surrounding properties have developed similar rear parcels; buyers are encouraged to investigate zoning, access, and development potential with the appropriate agencies.
