Aguanga is a rural retreat with growth potential
Wrapped in views of mountains and wilderness with ample open space for horseback riding, Aguanga is a true escape from anything remotely "city." Far from major shopping with land in all directions, it may seem like there is nothing here but countryside. However, a second glance reveals Aguanga's niche art scene, restaurants and vineyards just a short drive away. "I think it's a future wine country. It's super rural right now, but it's growing. There's a lot of potential for retail to come in," says broker Cynthia Nordskog, who has over 30 years of experience and works for Coldwell Banker Realty. "I've sold four parcels of land in the last year and people are coming in and building custom homes. In 25 years, you won't recognize Aguanga."
Aguanga properties offer ample space for RV and boat storage.

A unique yet limited housing stock and plenty of land for sale
"Ranch styles are common here, and they are generally custom homes. Everyone comes in and brings their own flavor and makes their dream come true," Nordskog says. Single-family homes generally range from around $344,000 to nearly $1 million. However, properties can fetch upwards of $2 million, especially when more luxurious. Aguanga also has manufactured homes, ranging from about $201,000 to $564,000, and RV homes priced from $47,000 to $250,000. Rancho California RV Resort is a 440-acre gated community surrounding an executive golf course, pools and athletic courts. Residents of Aguanga take in views of the vast landscape from their homes. "There's a lot of cacti, different types of plants growing in the region, and some trees. People can have their own wells," Nordskog says. The median lot size is more than 5 acres. Currently, there is more land than homes in Aguanga, and generous lots for sale.
