Located in beautiful De Luz, this 5.72-acre hilltop parcel offers sweeping 360-degree views of rolling hills, avocado and citrus groves, and layered ridgelines in every direction. The south-facing land enjoys great sun exposure and a fresh breeze from the Pacific Ocean, creating a private, rural setting for a custom home, ranch estate, or country retreat. Gently sloping terrain rises to a natural building pad at the top of the parcel, positioned to capture sunrise and sunset views across the De Luz hills. Below, rows of producing Tango tangerine trees wrap the hillside, providing seedless, easy-to-peel fruit straight from your own grove, with irrigation lines already running throughout. Paved road access, an electric pole, and an installed 1.5" water meter simplify planning for a future custom build, guest house, or expanded agriculture. The land has been farmed chemical-free for over 4 years, which may make it eligible for the NRCS Environmental Quality Incentives Program (buyers must verify eligibility and details directly with the NRCS). It is also eligible for the Rancho California Water District's CropSWAP Program, which offers potential financial and technical assistance (buyers must verify details directly with RCWD). De Luz offers the quiet, open-space lifestyle that draws buyers to Southwest Riverside County, with winding country roads, horse properties, hillside groves, and wide-open skies. Yet you're only 15 minutes from Downtown Temecula, shopping centers, and Costco, and a 5-minute drive from Cross Creek Golf Club. Spend weekends at Temecula Wine Country wineries along Rancho California Road, dining and shopping in Old Town, or hiking the nearby Santa Rosa Plateau, then come home to your own hilltop acreage. Convenient I-15 access connects you to Temecula, Murrieta, Fallbrook, and San Diego County.
