Aerial Photo Shoot in Santa Rosa Valley
We did an aerial photo shoot of a 9.6 acre parcel for sale in Santa Rosa Valley. My buddy Rick flew his remote control helicopter approx 100 ft in the air.
All usable 9.6 level acres in the heart of Santa Rosa Valley. Property enjoys direct access from Duval Rd with all utilities located at the street. Parcel can reportedly be subdivided into two lots and developed together or separately; excellent opportuntiy to build two estate properties or one large compound. This property has been used as a nursery for large and overstocked items. Zoned for horses and close to trails.

Undertstanding Easements on Country Properties
Larger properties are likely to have at least one easement through them. Most are controlled by utility companies but neighbors may also have the right to pass through. Be sure to ask the title company for a plot easement map showing where any easements are and who controls them before removing contingencies.
