    This is a rare, once in a lifetime offering of 3 parcels so private most do not even know it is here. Yet so close to downtown. Two Estate Residential Parcels front on Ridge Rd (.86 acres 513-351-028 and .47 acres 513-351-029 ) and there is an additional 12.71 acres (513-300-056) open space behind them and over the top of the ridge. The hillside setting is amazingly beautiful and the possibilities are endless as to how you can enjoy this slice of Palm Springs mountainside heaven. There used to be a house on one of the lots with an old pool and concrete driveway still there. From this perch you have views across the valley. Then there is a private canyon, almost like a hidden oasis. A possibility exists to increase the residential lot(s) but Buyer must do own due diligence. Even without this increase to the residential parcel(s) there is still plenty of room to build 1 or 2 magnificent hillside homes with amazing views and exclusive access to the oasis. Ultimate privacy and artistry!
