36562 Van Gaale

The Sunset Ranch on Benton provides ample opportunities. Currently zoned for a single-family home on 4.36 Acres, this property may present an opportunity for rezoning through the county of Riverside. Whether you are potentially subdividing into several smaller lots, hoping for a live and work environment, looking at the Sunset Ranch for the next city or county development project, or for the possibility of commercial revenue, The Sunset Ranch on Benton is centrally located on Benton Rd, the closest thing to a “Main Street” in French Valley. Benton Rd runs through French Valley, becoming Clinton Keith at the 79S, eventually hitting both the 215 and 15 Freeways.The property is also close to housing, shopping, and commercial development, and is mostly flat and usable. It sits in the heart of French Valley, on the Main Street, in an unincorporated community of Winchester, California. This area sits in the highly desirable Temecula Valley Unified School District.Here are some possibilities to consider if rezoning is achieved through the county. Renderings have been provided in the pictures. Option 1: “Benton Park” would follow the layout of several 5-acre parks throughout the country, with an amphitheater, playground, walking trails, and a skate park. This would be a great place for French Valley residents to gather with friends and family, or for community events. I’d love to see the County of Riverside, or the City of Temecula, make this possible. Option 2: I call it “Benton Headquarters”, a shopping center like Vail Headquarters in Southern Temecula, which features several smaller local shops, bringing back opportunities for residents, local shopping, food, fun, performances, and music. Building community and memories, while generating commercial revenue for ownership. Or Option 3: “Housing” Keep this as a single-family home for one family on a large lot, or multiple families, subdividing into 6 lots, each about ¾ of an acre. These homes would feature Temecula Valley Schools, large flat usable lots, and would be walking distance from parks, restaurants, and shopping. Perfect for a family compound, or a smaller developer. For a property like this one, the possibilities are endless. Everything would have to be approved, permitted, and rezoned with the county, but an opportunity like this only comes along - once in a great while…It would be nice to see something good for French Valley, and the people who live here.
