Property Description

This rural parcel is 2.12 acres and is located on a paved road adjacent to the parcel where Old Borego is located with the historic buildings that included the store, garage and post office. The Borrego Valley, located in Southern California, has a rich history dating back to the early 1900s when the first homesteaders arrived. The valley was isolated, hemmed in by rugged mountains on three sides, and obtaining supplies meant a long journey of at least a five-day round-trip to Brawley, or a climb up Grapevine Canyon and on to Ramona. However, a little community began to develop, and Old Borego played a significant role in the growth of the Borrego Valley. Beautiful views in all directions of the surrounding mountains.
